    Cleveland unveils Guardians as their new name.

    That would’ve been very far down on my list of possible choices.

      That's awful. It's like what if we had a parody team from the fascist Earth of Starship Troopers.

        Spiders was right there for the taking. Dissapointing. Apparently there are "Guardians of Transportation" statues coming into town and that's the inspiration for the name and winged G logo.

        Speaking of that G logo, with the wings it looks like Cleveland is the triple-A affiliate of the Angels....

            Where are the people upset with Cleveland being woke?

              Exactly. It was perfection. But some Harvard MBA must have nuked it because marketing means we can only have things that appeal to high school C students.

                After learning about the statues I don’t mind the name, but there have to be about a thousand other ways they could’ve better incorporated the statues into the logo.

                  It's still a better football name (it has that testosterone derp) but I have always liked those statues and didn't know those were the name. That's more acceptable.

                      The Minnesota Wild may have lost their claim to the worst nickname in American major league sports.

                        Not even close.

                        Anaheim Ducks and half the MLS* are worse than Guardians. But Wild still leaves them all behind.

                          The Redskins should name themselves the Spiders.

                            The statues and bridge are actually pretty cool...so in the grand scheme of things Cleveland related...it could be worse.

                              I get why people don't like this nickname because it was named after a movie. But as a (former) fan of the Long Island Ducks, I like Ducks.

                                I guess J Happ doesn't want to be traded. 9R in 3 innings.
