The logo and font however is a different issue. With all the cutting edge graphic designers out there and my four-year-old came up with the end product I think. Still dont get why they didnt go with "Cleveland Tribe". Easy, simple, already this nickname, not offensive, promotes unity, ect 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AkronsWitness Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Missed opportunity here. Why can fans create better logos than the team can? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The name probably will not go over too well with the fan base. Or with a potential suitor. Lower ticket and merch sales and soured potential suitors will give Dolan the option to have his cake and eat it too by moving the team.

bruceb Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Had an interesting conversation about this with a friend with Native American bloodlines. He is pro CLE sports and was pissed.

sdrawkcab321 Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 It’s really too bad the rockers was already taken by our old WNBA team. That would have been a better name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not Native so I have no idea and dont want to sound ignorant BUT is Indians really that offensive to Native Americans? I understand its technically not even the correct name because Columbus is a jackwagon and all of that but do Natives really see Indians as a degrading term? I say that because if they dont, changing the name Indians further erases the spotlight on Natives. Also--how is it that the Indians had to change their name out of respect to other cultures but I dont see teams like the Braves, Cheifs, Seminoles--why havent I hears a peep from those teams? I dont want to sound ignorant, I honestly just want to be educated more on this whole thing. Edited July 24, 2021 by AkronsWitness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seattle Mariners make sense and is easy, Colorado Rockies make sense and is easy, Arizona Diamondbacks makes sense and is easy, Tampa Bay Rays make sense and is easy, just cant beleive they couldnt come up with a team name based ON THAT HUGE BODY OF WATER sitting right next to them lol Instead we got some statues who 50% of Clevelanders didnt even know what they were. Captains, Whitecaps, Admirals, Armada, Breakers, ect, ect. Cmon Edited July 24, 2021 by AkronsWitness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just saw a post eariler today (pretty sure that it was intended as satire (but I was up all night watching Aussie Rules Football, and only saw the twitter headline), that stated that well.....I'll let you read it. https://www.foxnews.com/media/concha-rips-woke-leftists-over-mlb-indians-name-change-new-york-jets-are-toast-because-of-global-warming I'm one of those proverbial "baby boomers"....born almost exactly 9 months after the Cuban Missile Crisis, so I qualify as one of those "Oh, what the hell honey, babies" status. I think I might be the poster child for that Simpsons gif "man yells at clouds". Oh, what an interesting world we live in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About 10 years ago, we had a speaker come in who was the head of the push to get rid of native mascots, but was adamant that he was “an Indian” and under no circumstances should we call him a Native American. The official U.S. codification is still American Indian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
