Washington has not been alone with logos representing Native Americans. The NFL has Kancas City Chiefs and the country's other top leagues include the Cleveland Indians and Atlanta Braves in baseball and the Chicago Blackhawks in the NHL.

Now that it has become clear that the Redskins are changing their name, the SHL team Frölunda Indians have said that they are following the development of events in the USA.

The name "Indians" was added in 1995, after the team during a successful period in the 60's was called "Wild West" and the team logo represents an American native.

The Indians are also investigating

The discussions have also reached the speedway club Indians in Kumla. The club does not want to change its 70-year-old name, but will still analyze what a name change could mean.

- But just like Frölunda, we will also make an investigation and analyze what consequences a name change would have. You have to remember that the Indians are a strong brand so it would affect the club very much, says club chairman Markus Engman to SVT Nyheter Örebro.
