Their new one sucks. :doh:

On the mobile site it still shows the Indian head.

[gregintenn]

That's weird. It doesn't on the regular site.

[bersaguy]

All their gear for sale in their store still has the Indian on it......................... :shrug:

It may take a while for them to change it everywhere.  They have changed it, probably quietly due to pressure that the old one offended someone.

Politically correct puzzies.

[CommsNBombs]

I blame my generation...

I'll have to get some super glue.  The Indian Head logo came off my Model 10

[Metalhead]

I think I have a neon sign of theirs with the indian head somewhere...

Feel free to dump it in my trash can.

Their new logo really does suck

[10-Ring]

Why do we have to take all the good stuff away from the Indians?

[runco]

I did like their old logo, don't like this one.  Though the 110 FCP is on my radar, will this change impact me, probably not, but I don't like the caving to be PC.

They've still got an injun on their History page....http://www.savagearms.com/history/

 

Wonder how long until that is sanitized?

[DaveTN]

Well if they are trying to be politically correct; a name change will be next.

[DWARREN123]

I blame everyone! At least the PC idiots.

For sale? :hyper:

[Caster]

I prefer the old advertisements.

I am just about the most politically incorrect person I know, but I kinda understand Native Americans getting offended by some things.

I'm not sure where the name Savage came from, but Natives most certainly don't like being referred to as savages anymore than a black person likes being called a nigger, and for good reason.

It's not being a politically correct pussy to show a little compassion for a group of people that have been sh!t on all throughout history.

You are correct. It's not the logo that was offensive, it was the name tied to the logo. Just like the Redskins logo is not what some folks are upset about, it's the term Redskins that people claim offense to. Changing their name to something like American Arms and showing that same Indian logo could foster a sense of pride among both Indians and Whites. We all still know what Savage refers to.

Honestly, I do not see Native Americans in front of a microphone on the news complaining, its always a liberal white person, why?

I can see both sides to the argument, but in many cases today some groups of people take it upon themselves to be offended on behalf of another group of people that weren't offended in the first place.

They care the most! Even if the people who should be offended are not, the white libs will care for them.
