The famous and defunct football logo of an American Indian chief used at the urging of a Blackfeet Nation tribal leader could make an appearance on a throwback jersey in the future — for example — or in a sports arena.
Nothing is set in stone, but Ryan Wetzel said Tuesday he feels confident a concrete plan will emerge to honor his grandfather’s legacy having worked during the course of a year with the Washington Commanders and the National Football League thanks to the support of U.S. Sen. Steve Daines.
“It’s exciting to even have that conversation after they said it (the logo) would be gone forever,” Wetzel said.
