I almost feel like they thought it was necessary to have a name that ended in 'dians' so they could keep the same lettering style that Indians has.

This wouldn't surprise me. They slightly modified the wordmarks and block C, but they're visually similar to their current branding. I'm sure it's all calculated to make this a smooth transition for the fans.

Their only misstep appears to be the generic clip-art looking winged G logo. They may want to rethink that one before next season.

John Adams: Drumming History

One of the most iconic scenes in MLB is Cleveland Indians super fan John Adams banging his drum. This is now ruined....



The Indians have said they wont allow Indians gear or merchandise in the stadium starting next year. What a shame. Hearing the drum beat and fans clapping along is one of the greatest things about going to the ball park. Unreal

While it is fricking embarrassing to change the name in the first place to appease the sensitive fricking Libs, I don't think Guardians is the worst name I've ever heard for a sports team name. I agree though the logo looks embarrassing.

Another victim of the left-wing cultural revolution.

Fans should boycott and/or refuse to not wear Indians gear.

How are they going to enforce that? Turn away thousands of fans at the gate, or force them to buy Guardians merchandise?

I bet they're still charging $150 for Indians jerseys at the ballpark right now.

The Cleveland franchise has been around since 1901, when it was called the Blues. The following season its name became Broncos, then it was known as the Cleveland Naps from 1903 to 1914 in reference to player-manager Nap Lajoie. It was changed to the current name after Lajoie was traded.


Guardians sucks. They should have just gone back to being the Cleveland Broncos.

In Cleveland, that would've conjured visions of John Elway and "The Drive."

It was only a matter of time before they would have to drop Indians, but for Guardians? They couldn't do any better than that? Who in the hell is intimidated to play a Guardian?
