The different is the red colour tone.
It is a friendly logo; the use of the colours is related to the American colours.
Thick and dark brush stroke used on the mascot outline. Inconsistent outline. Use of complementary colours.
Old-fashion that could be Re-designed to be used current.
The Chief Wahoo, mascot of the Cleveland Indians is a cartoon
But the real concept of the logo is to associate the characteristics of the native american to the team players. i.e: brave, courageous, valiant, unfrightened.
The Native America Motif on the logo history started subtle. The native illustration, in profile, had just two feathers and a plait, no colour. With the passing of the time, the motif started have more details, colour.

Various other patches were worn for the next few years, none of them featuring Indians. In 1946, both the home and road shirts featured a City of Cleveland Sesquicentennial patch. In 1947, home and road uniforms began featuring the first incarnation of Chief Wahoo, replacing the old profile with a three-quarters face style. A newer style of Chief Wahoo replaced that one on the uniform shirt sleeve starting in 1951. That style has remained the model for Chief Wahoo to this day.
