It endured national scrutiny and was derided by many as racist. Now, the official seal of Whitesboro, a village of about 3,700 in central New York, has been changed.

The emblem still depicts a wrestling match between the community’s founder and an Oneida Indian chief. But in the updated version, the tussle appears more evenly matched. The previous seal was widely interpreted as a white man strangling a Native American.

After an online campaign took aim at the previous logo, residents of the village, which is in Oneida County, voted on its fate in January 2016. Of 212 votes, 157 were in favor of keeping the emblem as it was.

But it took the town’s leaders only a couple of weeks to reconsider and move toward a new seal.

What prompted the reversal? “A huge contingent of people that voted to keep it” came in requesting that it be altered, Patrick O’Connor, mayor of Whitesboro, said in an interview on WIBX on Wednesday morning. A second vote was not held, the mayor said, but “we did what we thought everyone really wanted.”
