it's as if they think fans might not handle a new name that doesn't have "xxDIANS" so that they can transition without too much fighting over the name
feels like it was workshopped in a primary school

As a fan that actually got invited to weigh in (my vote was for the Commodores, as in Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry who beat the fuck out of the Brits in the Battle of Lake Erie (fun fact, only naval battle on the Great Lakes)), I think they actually put a lot of thought into this.
That and it's cheaper to reuse the massive fucking sign in centerfield when you only change a few letters.I still call it The Jake.

It was be cool if they just slap a piece of white tape w Guar in sharpie over existing Indians unis.
Maybe they could mix it up and call them the GWARdians.
Heh heh GWAR!

commodores is way better; i can imagine some cool retro mascot getups...
yeah, i'm just reacting to the image upthread of the similar logotype & the sort of generic "fighter but protector" nature of the word
my kid's HS just went thru a name change, and they renamed the athletic teams from "trojans" [sort of tragically irrelevant too] to "guardians" so i'm disappointed to have been related in some way...after all the hand wringing to get a woke HS name, they short-armed the team with something generic & yet still fight-y, which kinda doubles down on the image they were trying to get away from
yay, go "guardians"!
(maybe everyone should always do air quotes when they say the name)

How about the Giardians? A little reference to the water quality in the river and lake?
I even have a logo idea: Giardia-Parasite.png
(why the fuck can't I pst images??)

What’s the story behind Pedersons wearing the pearl neckless at the plate? Other than it obviously would be hard to play w a facial

Well, I appreciate the effort Ice, even if it isn't really accurate anymore (notwithstanding some of my favorite plays on the old image, i.e. GLBC Burning River Pale Ale).
The Cuyahoga River (and the National Park it runs through) and Lake Erie are very dear to my heart and I'm proud to say that not only did the Burning River incident kickstart what we now know as the EPA, but the river itself is completely healthy and is only one to-be-torn-down dam short of being completely free-flowing from its headwaters to the Lake.
It really is an impressive decades-long cleanup effort that saw the Cuyahoga designated as a State Water Trail in 2019 and River of the Year by some national Riverkeepers org. I recently paddled the upper sections late this summer and was blown away by how nice it is.
The Lake is no different. Steelhead runs, Walleye and Perch hatches and populations are all at all-time highs. I was sailing with family over Labor Day and could see the bottom at 50' not that far off shore from downtown, which I can not ever recall being able to do. People are taking care of their water up in NE Ohio, and its about damned time.
Anyway, what were we talking about, baseball? Looks like the trashcans were in full effect tonight in Houston.I still call it The Jake.

Just listened to a radio interview with the attorney for the Cleveland Guardians Men's Roller Derby Team and from what he says my post above is accurate; that this fiasco is by design.
The Indians declined to be interviewed afterwards. Sounds like they just need to figure out a dollar amount and make some men on 8 wheels in tights very happy and go away.I still call it The Jake.

Nah, lets see 3/3 and have the city explode. I don't think a team has clinched at home in a long while.
And fuck the trashcan cheaters. Except Michael Brantley, he's cool, and a professional hitter.I still call it The Jake.

10-29-2021, 07:34 AM #1846In a press release issued Thursday, PETA called on the MLB to get rid of the 'outdated' name and change it to a suggestion that is more "animal-friendly."
“Words matter, and baseball ‘bullpens’ devalue talented players and mock the misery of sensitive animals,” PETA Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman said in the release. “PETA encourages Major League Baseball coaches, announcers, players, and fans to changeup their language and embrace the ‘arm barn’ instead.”
PETA said the "bullpen" references where bulls are kept before they are slaughtered. In the MLB, the term is where relief pitchers warm up before the game.I have been in this State for 30 years and I am willing to admit that I am part of the problem.
