The pink and blue are from the trans pride flag. The black and brown, unless I'm mistaken, comes from the redesigned pride flag that sought to be more inclusive to people of color, as they are at the forefront of battles against oppression, as well as honoring AIDS victims. https://preen.ph/96232/this-redesigned-pride-flag-may-be-the-new-lgbtq-symbol Edit: Beat to it! Thank you both for the info, I wasn’t aware of either flag until now. For what ever reason I that the original rainbow pride flag already represented the trans community as one of its colors. I guess I was wrong. I assumed the white, brown, and black was suppose to represent POC but the blue and pink threw me off. Thank you again for teaching me the little bit of knowledge.

The LGBT+ flag does also represent transsexuals but there are flags for specific communities within the larger LGBT+ category like the previously mentioned trans pride flag and a bisexual pride flag among many more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of me thinks Cleveland is dragging it out as long as possible, because of some suspicions that the Dolans want to sell the club. They would let the new owners decide the name. Given that the lease is up in 2023 and the CBA negotiations in 2022, this might make sense.

Old School Fool Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 I feel like the Pittsburgh Pirates need to go back to a version of the 70's look again full time. Now would be the perfect time to tap into the craziness that is all around sports uniforms these days. If there's one team that is allowed to be obnoxious with it's uniform, it's the Pirates.

SFGiants58 Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 I’m good with Spiders, Guardians, Municipals/Munis, Forests, Dobys, etc. Just don’t be the Rockers. For the love of all that is holy, don’t do it. I’m still kind of rooting for Dan Gilbert to buy the team and name them the Cleveland (Baseball) Cavaliers.

If you want to sell, you don't exactly care about anything but making money. If you change the name before the sale, you cash in on all of the new merchandise. I get the 'being nice' aspect of letting the new owners decide, but I think the financial implications way outweigh the 'being nice' part. It's where I sit.

JayMac Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 I'm good with the Spiders. I'm also not against the Blues and the Americans. It would be kinda neat to have the Nationals in the National League and the Americans in the American League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OaklandIsBack Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Spiders is the choice by a wide margin. So much better than Municipals or Guardians, and any anything rock n roll themed will be terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridleylash Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Knowing the Dolan clan, I fully expect some corny rock-and-roll homage to win out because "Cleveland has the Rock and Roll HoF, so gotta do something with that". My preference is Blues, honestly. Can't go wrong with a name that's simple and yet so historical-sounding. Plus, we all know that they'd try some terrible web design as like a sublimated pattern if they went with "Spiders", and that's the last thing this team needs.

Well if there's one team in the majors that's going to use a pride-themed uniform, San Francisco makes the most sense. On 6/3/2021 at 4:07 PM, Ridleylash said: So Cleveland's at the vetting process for their new name. I wonder if the successful Edmonton Elks rebrand will push them more towards Spiders, if it wasn't already the front-runner. I think it's easier to get fans accepting of the changes if the new name has historical ties to the city/franchise. Just include old images like this in the release: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d say it was if it wasn’t for the texture that looks more like a batting practice jersey material. Have the other city connect jerseys been this material? I know the rest of the jerseys have been just using the old majestic materials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WMMS is a well known rock station in Cleveland and is way better than some BS rock themed name like Rockers or whatever else they think of.
