CLEVELAND, Ohio - The Indians will continue to wear Chief Wahoo on their caps for the 2017 season.

Despite reports to the contrary, Chief Wahoo will appear on the team's caps (blue hat, red bill) when they wear their home white uniforms. Chief Wahoo will also appear on the team's hats (blue caps, blue bills) when they wear their alternate road uniforms - blue tops, gray pants.

It was incorrectly reported that the Indians were taking Chief Wahoo off their caps for 2017. Confusion apparently arose when cleveland.com reported that the team would no longer wear its cream colored home uniforms, but would keep the hat from that uniform (red cap, blue block C) as part of its alternate home uniforms for next season. The alternate home uniforms for 2017 will feature blue tops, white pants and the blue block C cap.

The Indians' main road uniform for next season stays the same - gray top, gray pants, all blue cap with a red block C.

Chief Wahoo will still appear on the left shoulder of all Indians' jerseys for 2017.

The Chief Wahoo logo has drawn protests from Native Americans for years. Commissioner Rob Manfred told reporters during the Indians-Cubs World Series in November, that he would meet with team owner Paul Dolan to discuss the logo. That meeting has not taken place.
