More about Blue Jacket
Blue Jacket is named for a Shawnee American Indian war chief, and was inspired by an Indian Relay racehorse, mashed up with graffiti, on a background inspired by American Indian weaving. The meaning of the paint colors and war paint symbols is:
- Red symbolizes war, blood, strength, energy, and power.
- Blue symbolizes wisdom and confidence.
- Hoof prints indicate the number of horses captured in raids.
- Lightning bolts ask for speed for the horse.
- Hailstones are a prayer for hail to fall on the warrior’s enemy.
- Bands across the nose indicate battles won.
