OnWis97 Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 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.

STL FANATIC Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 That's the same wordmark they used before. In fact, I think it is a similar stance to the old Cardinal bird.Looked much better then though.They should have just gone back to this though...Or tied it in with a Cub the way they did with the Cards.

OnWis97 Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 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'...)
