Physical Description: Red baseball cap with Spokane Indians baseball club official logo on blue patch. Logo is surrounded by Salish words meaning "Spokane Indians Baseball Club"
Description: Spokane's minor league baseball team, known since 1903 as the Spokane Indians, unveiled a new logo in 2006 with the blessing of the Spokane Tribe of Indians - a rare example of a tribe-and-team collaboration and a hopeful model for other teams grappling with controversy over their Indian mascots. New uniforms pay tribute to the team's long history with classic red script and a retro look; the caps feature an "S" with an eagle feather accent and the phrase "Spokane Indians Baseball Club" written in the Spokane Tribe's native Salish language.
