powersurge Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 I think the Indians should change to Creamsicles....oh wait! WRONG THREAD.. seriously though, as much as I appreciate the current script word mark they employ on their unis I still think the best look of all time was the Major League movie unis (what was that? mid 90's?)

JohnnySeoul Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 I think I might be the only person that likes the cursive "I" mark better than the block "C". Something about it's shape and uniqueness I guess.No, you're not the only one. I really liked the scripted feather "I" cap and LOVED the uniform it was originally worn with.

Mongoose Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 Add me to the list of those who preferred the script I to the current block C. On a similar note, I wonder how a script C would look. That and/or the script I would be a great way for the Indians to keep their current look while they inevitably phase out Wahoo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's crap, maybe our tradition doesn't matter to them, but it sure as hell does to us! Wahoo has been in use for over 60 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodboy13 Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 We've seen your traditions discussed on this board ad nausaeum.Cleveland traditions are crap.

The_Admiral Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 They are crap, and I'm with Lights Out on the navy-to-brown thing, but I still love Chief Wahoo. It's "iconic" in the actual sense, not the "I like it" sense. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a racist caricature of a native American. Case in point. I don't think the name is an issue, but the logo is.The '70s set when they wore navy/red/white was the best set the Tribe have ever worn.

Lights Out Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 No, we want brown and red. It would cut down on the unnecessary abundance of red/white/blue teams in the MLB, and it would also pay homage to both the Browns (brown) and the Cavs (red) at the same time. Plus, it just looks damn nice. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texas?you can't say some teams deserve to wear red/white/blue and others don't, sorry. The Indians have just as much history as the Cavs and Browns, so they shouldn't have to "pay homage" to either one of those teams.I think the chargers should change their colors to Green and Pink, it would cut down on the number of teams that use blue in the NFL. Also get rid of the lighting bolt....it's racist against thunderstorms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure the fans would complain... before going out and buying merchandise like crazy anyway.I think the chargers should change their colors to Green and Pink, it would cut down on the number of teams that use blue in the NFL.

The_Admiral Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 It's not that the Cleveland Indians don't deserve to wear red/white/blue, I just think it would be a neat way to set them apart and tie them in with the other teams in town. I could suggest changes to the Angels and Rangers, too. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCall Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 I'm sorry but brown and red just don't look that good together. That would be a terrible downgrade from their current look. There's not enough contrast. I prefer Wahoo on the caps, but don't think it would look bad to go block C on the caps with Wahoo on the sleeves. But Wahoo's gotta stay. https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

infrared41 Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 If you look at the most iconic caps in the MLB, Yankees, Braves, etc none have outlines. The key difference being that the logos/letters on those hats are white on dark blue. There's no chance of there not being enough contrast on those hats. The Indians red hats really overpower the blue C. In my opinion, that's the reason a white outline would really help that look. It doesn't need to be that big or drastic, just something to help the C stand out a little more. Or, as I said before, just go to the blue hats with the cream alts and you've got one of the best looks in baseball. Also, no offense, but I don't see the Braves' hats as being one of the "most iconic" in baseball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
