Thank you for your cooperation. I think for the most part people are too excited about the potential for Spiders or something else cool to and complain about "the PC police" and all that other nonsense that leads to [mod edit]s. I'd be shocked if a Cleveland Baseball Team thread went sideways like the WFT one had been on the brink of so many times.

Never underestimate sports fans. In all seriousness, I do hope this doesn't end up going that direction. WFT was enough of a headache on these boards for this year.

Cujo Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Cleveland's got a great, built-in identity with the Spiders -- so clearly they'll pick a name with a brutal Rock and Roll HOF tie-in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marlins93 Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 5 minutes ago, Ridleylash said: 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. If they want to be music-focused, they need to make a nod to the rock & roll. Though, Cleveland Rocks, as some have proposed, would be a terrible name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The oldest name that applies to the current major league franchise is the Bluebirds, then the Broncos. Broncos obviously isn't going anywhere because of the Denver Broncos, but Bluebirds/Blues would work. If you really wanna go deep on the history, you could call 'em the Cleveland Rustlers after the Grand Rapids team that eventually morphed into the MLB Cleveland franchise.

The_Admiral Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Blues and Forest Citys are the only names worth considering because they precede Indians in the team's 100+year history. Spiders is atrocious. It's a bug. No one wants to be a bug. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
