Indians 2021

When I heard it was 3-0 early, I was pretty sure we would not be able to overcome that, given our lineup.

Fitting that we make it close in the 9th. 

i just read that the indians have narrowed down their list of new names and are vetting their top choices for all the legal requirements. Any word on what the choices are? i've not heard anything in about 5 months regarding the name change. 

To my knowledge, no top name choices have been released to the public.

There was an article in our local paper today saying that some of the popular names being bantered around are Spiders, Guardians and Avengers.  There will be no reference to any name related to Native Americans.

Guardians and Avengers. Those are very bad names for a baseball team. Those are good names for XFL football teams.

Commodores or GTFO.

Commodores is by far the best and I can’t figure out why it hasn’t gotten as much traction.

I said Commodores from the git go. Great historical name and great beer!! if they pick this name The Dolan's should give me lifetime season tickets or do me a favor and not give me season tickets.

I agree.

And I like Commodores, also.

Dolan business model:

Let's get young stud pitching and surround it an offense that couldn't hit a bull in the butt with an ironing board.

The only thing that saves them from being the worst ownership in Cleveland  sports history is Ted Stepien and Art Modell, pretty hard to beat those two but i'll be damned if they aren't trying very hard to beat them.

PS: Not sure if he was an owner or just a GM but Frank "Trader" Lane get honorable  mention for trading Rocky Colavito,Roger Maris and Lou Pinella.

END RANT

Feels to much like the Nats, Mets and old Senators. Don’t hate it, but no thanks. 

Yeah, I just posted it because I had never heard it until today. 

I still like Commodores the best. 

Jake Bauers traded to Mariners.

I kinda hate that they kept the colors (probly in the minority but think it woulda been cool to have Browns colors) and basically the same font. I’m OK with the name, but unless you go to downtown cleveland a lot, do people even know what the guardians were? The new C and the G logo aren’t bad. What does everyone else think?

fucking hate it. honestly cannot say i like anything about the name guardians.

Trying to defend the name (which wasnt my first choice, but I dont hate). Ive realized how many similar/dumb names are in MLB.

• Sox
• Sox
• Reds
• Phillies
• Yankees (racist as well, but whatever)
• Mets
• Padres
• Nationals
• Rays (now that its sunshine and not the animal)
• Athletics
• Twins

Guardians slips right in there with those, and the theme is actually similar to a lot of them. I wish they rebranded their colors to match the Browns and also rebranded the script font. Keeping the font screams picking a name to pigeon-hole it to what is in place. The logo I dont hate, but make it less "kiddie" and incorporate the bridge/statues -- especially in the alternate logos.

Not sure how I didnt see the new "Block" C. But goodness, it might be the best part of the re-brand. Its a great look with the C, shield shape, which ties it to "protecting" the city the way the Guardians overlook it. Love that. Ill be purchasing some apparel with it as soon as available.

GV artwork already has a cool shirt before the name change. I’m sure in the next couple of weeks they’ll have some great stuff. I agree on the C, always hated the block C.
