The Cleveland Indians are now "The Guardians".

[Kermit]

As a lifetime Indian fan, I would have liked them to just be called the Tribe or The Land. I guess I can cross out my InDIANS and insert GuarDIANS

They'll always be the Indians to me, regardless of the name change.

It was so fun watching that powerhouse back in 1995.

Cleveland Steamers

Way better name!

And Kraken NHL should be Seattle Sonics.

I thought the Spiders would have been cool .

Cancel culture wins and strikes again!!! Atlanta BRAVES on the firing block next. It's never gonna stop this is the new norm.

Tearing down historic American statues and changing historic team names is the new world we live in now.

Cleveland Indians name has been around for about 100 years. Damn shame the owner buckled under the pressure and changes it to the garbage name Guardians..

Do the Indian baseball teams have a team named the Americans?

You know we've seen you on camera right ?
You look ,your face looks like you would want to watch America slowly burn .

I'd need about 90 seconds man . All it would take

Cleveland The Land? Would they be Landers?Should have gone with Rockers. Like Cleveland Rocks. Or is that to close to the Rockies?Guardians sounds like they can't handle their financial affairs.

[fried cheese]

The BURNERS after the Cuyahoga River.

name them the cleveland firewater.

[ThaTopMoron]

it's a joke here in Ohio

they will still be the indians/tribe and people will wear chief wahoo to the games and outside for decades to come

cheap ass team. went with guardians because it ends with "dians" like in"dians" so they could keep the same lettering style logo etc

haven't watched one game. i don't think I even count as a fan anymore.

Owner should be shot or put in jail for changing an MLB team name that has been around for 100 years.

Shame on him!!! I hate this stuff. Washington Redskins as well. I have no respect for either owner now. Fock em both!!

[cincinnatikid513]

All they had to do was check ClevelandGuardians.com and they didn’t do it


Before changing your team’s name, you might want to consult the internet

The Cleveland Guardians were already a roller derby team, but the MLB franchise couldn’t be bothered to look that up for themselves.

Obviously, a lot went into Cleveland’s MLB team changing their name. They had to sift through all the suggestions, get some sense of what fans would like and what would be manageable, and then worry about logos and the like. More goes into this at the highest level that you or I can think of, or at least that’s what they’d tell you to justify spending what was assuredly an ungodly amount of money with design firms and consultants to come to their choice.

Still, with all the things we can’t imagine that go into changing the name of a Major League Baseball team, you’d think someone somewhere — an intern, an assistant, or the president himself — would just say, “Hey, I’m going to take literally a half a second to type in ClevelandGuardians.com, just to see if anyone has it.”

Whoops.

So now a MLB team is basically having the future of its name dictated to it by a male roller derby team. Yes, there are male roller derby teams. It’s not just that group of tattooed girls who commandeer the bar’s jukebox on a Saturday night. Anyway, the Cleveland chapter has been the “Cleveland Guardians” since 2011. They have the domain name, and the social media accounts on Facebook and Instagram. Though not Twitter, as apparently they didn’t want to wade into that cesspool. And who could blame them?
