Official Cleveland Guardians Thread

coulda had something cool like the spiders but instead they go with this generic "create-a-team" name

 

100% should have been the Spiders. Wasn’t Guardians the team name in a movie?

Edit: I may have been thinking about the Washington Sentinals

 

This is some lazy ass shit right here

 

FWIW on the name (it’s not a random selection):

I preferred Spiders too, but I know a lot of people around here hated it.

 

Cool bridge

 

guardians of traffic?????

 

ummm....ok

 

Lol that's awful

 

guardians of the galaxy was already taken

 

Ok, I guess that makes it a little better but this logo is just inexcusable

 

That makes it worse imo

 

I was really expecting some uplifting or cool story.

Named after some dumb bridge statue that protects against too many cars in one place? The fuck?

 

This joker needs to be on there if they want to reference the bridge

 

some marketing executive was just like "look the last 5 letters are already there" while covering up 'In' with his hand.

 

This logo looks like some shit you’d see on an unlicensed sports game on sega genesis.

 

not a fan

 

Leave the plain C on the front of the hat if you have any sense

 

You came up with a better idea and could have done it far cheaper than the millions they paid for someone to turn on an old PlayStation and steal a build your team logo from Madden 98

 

Thanks man. I've read TMB Uniform Thread for several years.

 

and of rivers engulfed in flames, don’t forget that

 

This is just setting up Washington to come up and even more laughable excuse of a new name and logo

 

That logo....that's a fcs south east from ncaa football 14 level logo

 

Gross, but perfect for ohio

 

The logo is perfect for the off-season signings of Sleve McDichael and Rey McSriff.

 

Great post

 

Agreed. Pretty bad when Joe Blow in accounting can come up with a better design than people who get paid millions:

 

This is worse than Indians IMO

I look forward to Guardians being co-opted by the whisky tangos of Ohio

 

Please don't disrespect the official team of Tom Hanks.

 

Cleveland Engines

 

I kind of like the flying G logo

 

Should have just moved the franchise

The Dolans are cheap pieces of shit who will trade Ramirez and Bieber soon anyways

 

As we speed into the abyss, originality is cashiered for generic design and "clean lines". Yawn. Is this better or worse than the Columbus Crew rebranding?

 

Honestly the Cleveland River Fires would have been a dope name

 

You guys are all missing the point. The cheap as fuck ownership group now only has to replace two letters on all their signage.

 

I was hoping for Spiders

 

Don't care what they're called.

Just sell the team to someone isn't cheap as fuck
