The name needed to be changed but this is a really poor effort.

Also - ClevelandGuardians.com is owned by a male roller derby team.

Things need to change because of political u cultured ideology. This is what happens when people are clueless about truth and just make decisions based on emotions.

The Washington Football Team even sounds better than the Cleveland Guardians. :brownbag

The left wing liberals have gone over the edge. There's nothing wrong with Cleveland Indians, Atlanta Braves or Washington Redskins.
Guardians might be worst name in MLB, replacing the Padres.

Padres are a solid nickname. Plus they have a tie in to the History and community

There is that bc hot take we all expected!!!

It's a dumb name. No doubt. Though if the branding was better they could've convinced me.

It seems there could have been a lot of local tie ins there but ….Guardians? Of what? Lake Erie?

There are two MLB teams named after the color of their socks and no one bats an eye 🤷‍♂️

Three actually.

This choice is ... curious.

I don’t LOVE the name, but I think they did fairly well, all things considered. Is “guardians” really worse than “cubs” or “dolphins.” Nope. Plus they keep much of the historic look: inDIANS vs. guarDIANS.

Did you get those straws you were grasping for?

I’ve got no idea what straws you think I’m grasping. The new name DOES stylistically resemble the old one. That isn’t grasping for straws. And “guardians” has more gravitas than some team names like the “penguins.” Again, not grasping for straws. The name isn’t my favorite, but it isn’t as bad as y’all are making it out to be.

The name is fine. The branding sucks. Just my 2 cents.

The name isn’t why this is a flop. Had they tied the statues in to the logo and branding, this could’ve been really cool. They tried to keep it too similar to the old stuff though.

Yeah. The name is whatever. You can make a crappy name seem cool if the branding is done well.
