I think you could do it in a way that subtly hints at that, without going into "cultural appropriation" territory (symbols without proper context).

How about using that shield as sleeve patch / secondary logo with the last C-I inside of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd go with the second one. It incorporates some of the significant symbols (source here), while still fitting within the aesthetic standards of a baseball patch and maybe looking a little less appropriation-y (removing the crosses while not removing the trees might be an issue). Heck, you might want to remove the triangles to focus only on the double-curve. I'd recommend using light blue in the outer circle, to get a bit more "definition" into it.

I think you're headed in the right direction. Keep it up! Thanks! First, about the colours, I'd like to keep just the Navy and the Red. I don't think the light blue would look good on the scripts, and I don't want to use it only for the logos. I think I'll focus on the 2nd design. Keeping the triangles and maybe adding "Cleveland Indians" on white (I'd need some help with that though). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coco1997 Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 I like it! I think in addition to Chief Wahoo being phased out, we might also see the "Indians" wordmark being used less prominently on the jerseys, so this makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coco1997 Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 I'd also like to hear how @SFGiants58 would propose using the light blue for the Indians. The idea intrigues me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idea intrigues me. If we're talking about the sleeve patch, I would propose making the double-curve motif light blue. The light blue could also be used for shading and/or highlighting details in scripts, as well as drop shadow. If you chose to use a feather logo somewhere, light blue would be an excellent accent color for the feather. I like your basic test of the logos, but I'd recommend giving the uniform red undershirts, belts, and socks. It separates them from the Twins a lot more (of course, I don't know your plans for the Twins).

Paco0454 Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Both of them are awesome, clean, simplistic "but-not-too-much" Honestly either one would be a W in my book, but I think that adding another shade of blue would open so many posibilities for alternates.

Paul Lucas Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 While I think the color scheme works, I'd prefer this set without the light blue shadows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your initial test concept with the "C/I" logo has a clean crispness to it that gets muddied up by the drop shadows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFGiants58 Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Yeah, I take back what I said about drop shadows on both the "CI" and the block scripts. Maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to drop light blue from the color mix, especially since you plan to go with a new color scheme for the Twins. If you want to make the drop shadows work, you could use the old cursive scripts instead of the generic block ones. I do like the red sleeves/socks/belts, as it differentiates them from the Red Sox and (presumably) the Angels.
