What do you think?






Been watching them over 25 years, since first grade. I think it's exciting, because the new name will be around for the rest of my life. Can't wait to see what they choose, hopefully it's marketable

Not sure why certain people get so pissed off and act like it's awful... other than culture war shit. Well, the name is kinda bad. I feel weird wearing a t-shirt outside of Ohio, taken out of context. got weird stares at CostCo in North Carolina, then I never did it again. Wasn't thinking of that when I put it on, was just running an errand

I think it should change, shitty parts of American history shouldn't be glorified. Or if they kept it, maybe actually name it in honor of a tribe or change the mascot around or something, but I doubt that'd happen. Ultimately I don't follow baseball even 1% so it doesn't matter at the end of the day.

Bought me a hat sometime early last year. Might buy some more.

Hopefully they come up with something better than Baseball Team

Spiders would be great, but they also have that history of being the worst baseball team in history.

Since they've already gotten rid of all the imagery associated with it I think it's a good call to just go ahead and get a new name. Gives them an opportunity to get a logo that is cooler than just a C.

See you next Wednesday.

They already have the Browns. Maybe they can name the baseball team the Steamers.

Well. that's because the ownership moved all their best players to St. Louis... so it was barely their fault. It's a different franchise, NL team

Sadly the Cleveland AL team was named Broncos for a year, which would be awesome today... if they stuck with that

I don't care lol nobody can force them to do that, which means they are doing it of their of own volition so again, no reason to care.

Yeah I don't really care, but if someone brings it up to me I will demand that it must be changed so I can get credit for my woke points.

Cleveland Cleavers

And the logo is a cleaver

Sounds original and badass

only if the cleaver is cleaving Cleveland's cleavage.

I'm a die hard fan, they're by far my favorite team. Change the name, I don't care as long as they stay in Cleveland lol. I've been to 150+ regular season games since 07 not counting 10+ postseason games in addition to game 6 of the 2016 World Series. I also saw games 18, 20 and 22 of their 22 game win streak in '17. I'm a bit obsessed
