Cleveland Guardians, that will take some getting used too.

100% agree that the name needed to be changed

I really think the new name isn’t a good choice

 

[MigratingOsprey]

I'm not from Cleveland so it may not resonate the same way, but I'm definitely not in love with the choice

The logo with the G over the ball is odd

The wordmark Guardians looks like they wanted to keep as much of the Indians styling as possible - really bending the 'r' - like the replaced the I for be Gua

I like it. Nice homage to Hope Memorial Bridge.

What was wrong with Steamers?

I thought Tom Hanks narrating was an odd choice as he kept using the inclusive pronouns "we", "us", and "our". I thought that he was from Cleveland until I looked it up. He's from CA. Drew Carey or even Lebron James would've made better choices IMO.

There's no crying in baseball (name changes)

Why is Tom Hanks narrating the Cleveland Guardians announcement video?

The Oscar-winning actor's ties to Cleveland go back to 1977.

His ties to Cleveland go back to 1977 when he landed his first professional job as an intern at the Great Lakes Shakespeare Festival. Hanks spent three summers at what is now known as Great Lakes Theater and earned his Actors’ Equity card here. The actor became a huge Indians fan during that time and has worn the team’s gear and expressed his fondness for the city in numerous television appearances over the years.
