Don’t sweat it. Since they kept the same last letters for the team name and the “r” looks a bit like an “n” with part if it erased out, due to the Mandella effect in 30 years of so most people will probably think that the name was always the “Guardians”.
Are you trying to use the Mandela effect to change it to the Mandella?Quote:

Amazing how they could fuck that up so badly.
Great names already in the team history they could have reverted to! Spiders would have been awesome, hell I would have loved the Naps again.
Spiders would have been a good choice with many unique uniform and logo possibilities
This is a bad mistake by the Cleveland franchise. Looks as if the logo was created by a child using paint
I hated Spiders on basic principle that you don’t cave to a non-existent problem. Getting rid of Chief Wahoo appropriate, this is silliness. That said, pretty much everyone here agrees with you on Spiders and would have loved it, and hated this. Not shockingly they picked the worst of all options I heard floated.Quote:

Redskins probably RIP forever, but i would say even money that CLE will be the Indians again in 30 years or so.

Despite most people thinking I’m always on permanent vacation, I’m actually involved with a few lines of business that have me calling around the country. One has me occasionally calling institutions that involve Native Americans in the SW. They call their own institutions Indian whatever. Schools. Business groups. This is just a retroactive penalty for having a racist mascot for decades and nothing to do with name itself.
What does that even mean? Guardians of what?
The winged logo looks like a 1995 AOL icon.
Stylistically, it does borrow heavily from the 1995 Angels logo lol.Quote:

Wtf is Guardians?
Him quoting:
“Sitting just outside of Progressive Field is the Hope Memorial Bridge, which connects downtown Cleveland to Ohio City across the Cuyahoga River. The 4,490-foot long bridge is best known for its giant statues, the Guardians of Traffic, who symbolize the progress and protection of transportation.”
Me:
How fucking boring.

It could have been worse. At least they aren't named after a boring color like "brown" or some 500 year old word no one even knows what it means like "Cavaliers"Quote:

Do these people not consult advertising agencies? The CFL Edmonton Eskimos, bad name to begin with, are now the Edmonton Elks
save us
At least they figured something out the team formerly known as the Redskins can’t figure their asses from a hole in the ground still. Snyder is an embarassment as an owner and did the WTF/WFT thing to get some heat off him from the latest Rnd of scandal bullshit he was involved in. How the NFL hasn’t Donald Sterling’d his ass is beyond me. And I wish they would badly. The Team President of Washington is Snyder’s little Sambo it’s painfully apparent and was a token hire clearly.Quote:

The mascot has always been called slider since like late 80s, some weird idk wtf it is thing based on the Philly fanatic. It won’t change as it has nothing to do with Indians theme.Quote:

Its offensive to young whites who don't actually give a shit about those people, but have to virtue signal.

Does that mean that Eskimo Clark has to change his nickname too? Oh wait...he's dead.
Should have changed it to the Headbashers. 80% of Canadian MPs support this “outdoor sporting activity”.Quote:

now the real question is this:
will they play the movie 'major league' on cable any more or is it going to be considered racist to do so.?
As bad as this is worst names remain mighty ducks and raptors which were literally just popular movies at the time and lost their appeal after a few years (that and disney owning one team)
They’ll play it with a trigger warning lolQuote:
