The NEW Peoria Chiefs


Blackjack76

Recommended Posts

I lived in Peoria from 2000 tp 2002 and they were going to change the name away from the Native American name. They decided not to and went with a bird (Cardinal) with a couple of extra feathers sticking off of his head--so I guess they made the Native American connection a bit weaker.

Obviously going with the dalmation was to give the impression of "Fire Chiefs" as opposed to "Indian Chiefs".

I am one of those people that does not like Native American mascots, but this logo is goofy. I think they should have just changed their name. Maybe to Bruins or somenthing that goes with cubs.

["Fiddler On The Roof" music] Sorry, OnWis, but that name means one thing to the people in Peoria...

TRADITION....TRADITION! TRADITION!

"I better go take a long walk off a short pier or something."

Some people on this bolard have told me to do just that.

My "Ron Mexico" alias is "Jon Tobago".

In suburban Pekin, IL their high school was known as the "Chinks" until the mid-1980s..When they changed their name, some people wanted to keep "Chinks" for tradition.

Some tradition stinks.

(I'm not trying to get into a thing here, but I'm just sayin'...)

Is that...Impact?

Yikes.

That thing is impossibly busy. I can't even begin to count all the colors.

"Yikes" is the first thing that popped into my head too...

WAAY too busy--and confusing details...

Too much colour as well...

Comic Sans walks into a bar, and the bartender says, "Sorry, we don't serve your type here."
