You heard anything about the team not allowing Wahoo logo merch into the stadium?
No signage with chief in stadium, none in merch shop inside stadium, but you can wear what you want as long as its not vulgar/offensive. Plenty of wahoo caps and jerseys being worn by fans. The team will always be known here as "The Tribe"....end of story.

I wonder if any native americans were actually offended by the Indians team name? Probably only white SJW liberals.

So the Indians are moving away from something offensive, and are now naming themselves after statues, which I thought was a bad thing these days as they continue to be torn down because they're offensive.
Looks like a statue of a white person built by all white people. There's no conflict of interest?

I'd laugh but it's just sad and depressing
One of the best names and logos in all of sports and now they're practically a minor league team

Guardians is offensive to anyone who isn’t the legal guardian of someone.

Serious question: what is offensive about the name "Indians"?
In today's color coded culture I get the Redskins issue. Fine. Whatever.
But honoring a people group that had a profound impact in the original inhabitance of that area seems cool.
Please help here.

Aren’t the Guardians the name of the statues that were put up when Cleveland got cars?

I thought Cleveland Commandos had a nice ring. Too military I guess

A Homage to all US Special forces.
May not specifically fit with Cleveland ( many mascots dont) but creative.

Now they have a reason to make Major League 3

I was hoping for a nautical theme like Cleveland Commodores or Cleveland Captains.

Spiders or Rockers would have been much better names. At least Spiders has some historical significance.
