| Cleveland Indians announce 'Guardians' as new name |
| 2021-07-23 |
| CLEVELAND — The Cleveland Indians have a new name. In a video released to social media on Friday, the franchise announced that it will be known as the "Cleveland Guardians" beginning in 2022. In the video, narrated by Tom Hanks and featuring the Black Keys, the team also released its new logos, which will maintain the Indians' red and navy blue color scheme. One logo features a new, stylized 'C', while the other features a 'G' with guardians wings. The team also has new fonts for both a block 'Cleveland' and script 'Guardians," reminiscent of the current wordmarks worn on the team's uniforms. |

| #12 Rest in peace, Cleveland Indians. Let us remember one (or ten!) of the team's finest contributions to sporting events. |

| #11 In the screwed-up culture of "woke and go Broke," I vote for the Cleveland Chihuahuas. Cleveland Piss-ants might be a little over the top. |

| #9 I guess the name "Indian" is to no longer pay respected to the Ohio Indian Tribes of the area. Cheer up they could have picked Cleveland Gang Bang'ers or Cleveland Thugs |

| #4 ....As a lifelong fan, I'm a little disappointed, but I also realize it could have been far worse. What I was hoping for was the team's original name before the Indians - the Spiders. There was some fan artwork out there from Cleveland that showed what they could have done with that. In the meantime, however, they can have my Chief Wahoo jersey once they tear it out of my cold, dead hands. Mike |

| #3 The really stupid thing is that the Indians were originally named the Indians in order to HONOR a native American player who had died. |

| #2 Nope, you guys are now team crybaby. If I hadn't been already boycotting MLB my entire life, I'd start now. |
