"The members have interpretive precedence and we made a misjudgment, which we regret," said team chairman Mats Grauers at a press conference on Friday.
Grauers said some of the backlash that team executives have received over the last few days was completely uncalled for, saying they were personally attacked online.
"Have opinions, love the team, but do not cross the line," he said Friday.
"Given the development in recent days with everything that has happened, that is the only right thing to do," said Frölunda captain Joel Lundqvist of the decision to start over. "Our fans and members are the heart of this club. It is important that they are behind it. Then everyone will never be happy."
The plan now is to continue using the Indian head logo for another six months at least, and then begin the process again of finding a new logo. The recently created new one was supposed to be implemented at the beginning of the 2022-23 season.
