Best Answer

Chief Black Hawk is a prominent historical figure in Illinois and the team was named after him, the "Native American caricature" that appears as the team logo represents this fact.

Please note that Native American caricatures of this nature are considered offensive by most Native Americans.

What is the significance of the Chicago Blackhawks logo?

The Chicago Blackhawks team logo was created by Irene Castle, wife of team founder and coffee tycoon Major Frederic McLaughlin, in 1926 at the team's inception into the NHL. McLaughlin chose the 'Blackhawks' nickname in recognition of his time as commander with the 333rd Machine Gun Battalion of the 86th Infantry Division during World War I. His Division was nicknamed "Blackhawk Division" after a Native American of the Sauk nation, Chief Black Hawk, who was a prominent figure in the history of Illinois. Throughout the franchise's history, the logo has undergone minor changes but still closely resembles its original presentation.
