ArsenalGnnr Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 If the Indians ever succumed to the PC pressure and changed names away from the Indians it would most likely have to be something that would appease the Cleveland fan base. The only thing I could think of that wasn't corny was this:The browns were a major league baseball team at one point anyway so maybe it'd work.It may prevent a riot in the scenic city of Cleveland.

rams80 Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 You do realize theres already a team called the clevland browns? There is no such team as the Clevland Browns.I think he does realize that there is a Cleveland Browns football team, and that was part of the joke behind this.

VitaminD Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 Joking aside, these aren't bad. I am not crazy about the city and wordmark being put across the jerseys, but I don't mind the idea. Any thoughts to putting Brownie the Elf on there somewhere? "Start spreading the news... They're leavin' today... Won't get to be a part of it... In old New York..."In order for the Mets' run of 12 losses in 17 games to mean something, the Phillies still had to win 13 of 17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDR Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 if the Orioles object, Selig will just guarantee them a base amount of jersey sales revenue that they will get even if they don't approach those numbers on their own. and baseball? in Cleveland? I didn't know they still had a team?Oh yeah, they got uniforms and everything. It's really great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gueman Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 Ok well first off I don't think the Indians will ever change their name. I mean next some one will tell me that they are going to ban smoking in public, make it illegal to use my cell phone while driving and ban soft drinks from schools because it may make Johnny fat. ...Oh they already did that... Well I did like what you did. But my opinion is they would go back to the old name of the Spiders or God forbid something "cool" like the Rockers.

therocheapproach Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 The Indians won't ever change their name, but I still like where these are going. The Orioles shouldn't have a problem because they wear BLACK and orange, not BROWN and orange. I like the second round because you went further away from the football design, but you still need to work on the wordmark to make it pop. I would suggest flatening the arched text down a bit and bringing the letters closer together. Look at script versions and play with the lowercase with the uppercase "B". Also, if you want these to really be something special, I would redraw the elf logo in a modern style for a secondary or patch logo.Finally, I know you were channeling the Browns helmets with the cap design, but just stick with the all brown caps with a orange "C". If you need help with the elf logo, let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

therocheapproach Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 My bad, I thought we talking about uni design, not baseball politics. But I don't think the Orioles have embraced their St. Louis Browns roots enough for them to protest something like that and I don't think they had a problem with Milwaukee when they took the name Brewers in 1970. Plus the St. Louis Browns took their name from the Cardinals anyway, so I think anything is usable at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Orioles are not going to surrender that without an obscene payoff. Besides, why would a team at this point in time want to be called the Browns? If they want to change the name from Indians, I think they should go with Fire Water. It's an homage to their old name while celebrating their history with chemical toxicity. j/k "One of my concerns is shysters show up and take advantage of people's good will and generosity".

Roger Clemente Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 If Baltimore ever plays in St. Louis, they should do a throwback day to the old Browns uniforms while the Cardinals wear a previous style of their own.Then again, I'm willing to bet I'm not the first person to think of this.--Roger "Time?"
