Indians, possibly.That will be challenged to change their name or mascot...
I will start with the :
Atlanta “Braves“
Cleveland “Indians”
Minnesota Vikings?
The Blackhawks were named after a US Army infantry division so the name would in all likelihood stand. As for the logo, that may be another matter all together.Chicago Blackhawks.
The Redskins and Indians should not change their names. However, if the Braves change their names then I'm completely out on pro sports. I'm already done with the NFL, long ago with the NBA, never cared about NASCAR or golf anyway, and now MLB/Braves are all I have left.That will be challenged to change their name or mascot...

Any talks regarding changing any Native American themed nicknames need to have significant input from Native Americans. Just as FSU did with the Seminole Nation.
Being 1/16 Huron I probably have more Native American blood in me than many of those leading the push for the name changes. Do any offend me? No. But I can see where it might others. If the majority of NA people wish for the change, so be it. But if they do not, it needs to be left alone.

Magua gave the Huron a bad name... good thing he was a fictional, though awesomely villainous, characterAny talks regarding changing any Native American themed nicknames need to have significant input from Native Americans. Just as FSU did with the Seminole Nation.

Weren't the Washington Generals the exhibition basketball team that use to job to the Harlem Globetrotters? If so, that's a joke waiting to happen. They should definitely go in another direction.Washington to change their mascot name per ESPN. I think the Generals would be a good mascot for Washington using the NY/ New Jersey USFL logo.
Another mascot name i would use is the Federalist.
I am not aware of that.Weren't the Washington Generals the exhibition basketball team that use to job to the Harlem Globetrotters? If so, that's a joke waiting to happen. They should definitely go in another direction.

Native Americans are overwhelmingly not OK with some of the names. So if you have issue with that, take it up with them.I see your point. But here is a caveat, while today the Native Americans may be okay with the names, Braves, Redskins, etc. they may not be comfortable with the names 20 years from now. With our Political Correctness changing by the hour who knows what will and won't be acceptable 20 years from now.
A team named after an aggressively named chili pepper could work (thinking of Carolina Reaper).Safe are plants, flowers, fruits and veggies.
