The Guardians sounds like the name Major League would have used if they couldn't get the rights to Cleveland Indians.

A prime example is the old seminoles logo and the new one. The old one just had character. The new one is so stale.


This is kind of what I was thinking when I wrote that. Same goes for the Dolphins logo.

Yup. It's so hard to get that level of detail that comes from a pixel based image compared to a vector based image. The Kraken is about as close as we're going to get. But they're just too neat and perfect.

What is there to guard in cleveland




apparently....traffic


quote:

The name Guardians is a reference to well-known Art Deco statues located on the Lorain-Carnegie Bridge, which spans the Cuyahoga River and connects downtown Cleveland to the city’s trendy Ohio City neighborhood. Those statues are known as the “Guardians of Traffic.”




So they go from badass indian warriors....to art statues guarding traffic

I'm Rachel Phelps and I approve the new name. Guardians of the sadness.

That is the worst logo, name, and backstory in all of pro sports now. Fitting for probably the worst city in pro sports. Well done Cleveland, well done.

Good lord, politically sensitive leftists are just weak, bitching about team names, logos and historical statues. Ironic that the SJW left tears down some statues, but promotes others….as long as they are cool with it.

I almost feel like they thought it was necessary to have a name that ended in 'dians' so they could keep the same lettering style that Indians has.

Kinda looked that way in the Tom Hanks video announcing the change.

I wouldn't blame any Cleveland fan for jumping shite and picking a new team. Same for the Redskins if their branding ends up this awful.
