Maybe even use throwback Cleveland scripts to mix it up. Hmm, good point. The 1995-2001 “Cleveland” does suffer from the uncanny valley issue more than the contemporary “Indians” script (which is already pretty bad on that front). Imagine this, but with the home cap and a white base for the home jersey: MLB: Project 32 (Complete), MLB: The Defunct Saga (Complete) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJD7 Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 As we all probably expected, Cleveland appears to be going forward with dropping the team name: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/13/sports/baseball/cleveland-indians-baseball-name-change.html#click=https://t.co/Nnw2nAoKcJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SFGiants58 Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Well, let’s hope for a good name in a bit and a fun time of everybody calling them the Cleveland Baseball Club.

Lights Out Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Glad I'm not the only one thinking it's gotta be the Spiders. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridleylash Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 I don't think Spiders is the right move; that team had a historically miserable season, and that's not the kind of mojo an already Series-less franchise needs to rebrand itself with. I actually think Blues would be perfect; not only would it nicely play off of Cincinnati, but there's historical leverage there both in the past of the city's MLB teams and within the current franchise (they started as the Bluebirds, after all) and Cleveland's had a long history with rhythm and blues. Plus, the music-focused identity is a totally unique niche within the MLB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 I really thought they could get away with dropping the logo and asking everyone to be polite, but I'm stupid. I forgot there's no compromising with culture warriors, it's just take, take, take, take, take. They always get to win every single time because the wins are cheap. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Spiders aren't known for that, though; they're known widely for the still-held worst record in MLB history. Again, not the kind of mojo you want your team taking on.

Its offensive and/or complicated for a specific group of people. Once Washington Football dropped the name, we knew this was coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
