As CBS points out, there has been some debate regarding the Blackhawks' Indian head logo as offensive.

Quebec's top First Nations chief, Ghislain Picard, has endorsed the use of a new logo designed around an actual black hawk rather than an Indian head.

If you didn't know, The Chicago Blackhawks original Indian head logo is representative not of a man or people first... but rather a World War I machine gun battalion that was named after a man, Black Hawk, a leader of the Sauk tribe in the early 19th century.

Do you think the Blackhawks should change their logo? Let me know in the comments below!
