It’s another case of people not understanding the artist and the history, just as with the Land o Lakes Indian Maiden. If the time has come to move on, that chioce is even worse, imho. While the idea to honor the airmen is good, one of the surviving men very politely and diomatically said more discussion would be nice.

As long as they do not choose the Red Tails. It challenges stereotypes.
The Red Tail Squadron was America’s first black military pilots and their support personnel. They are known for the extraordinary efforts in the air war of World War II, and for challenging the stereotypes that had kept black Americans from serving as pilots in the U.S. Armed Forces. https://www.historyonthenet.com/red-tail-squadron

With the name going to be changed, I say the team should be called the Washington Warrens. Let's remind people of the fake Indian.
