What an awful logo.

I think they stole it from an old Triple-A logo.

I would have preferred the Spiders but after learning about the bridge guardians in Cleveland it’s ok. It’s very Gothamesque those statues.

I think it would be cooler if they could have worked the statue into the logo.
EDIT: I just noticed the wings from the statute but hoping for the body or head.
 
I like the C and Cleveland script, although it reminds me a little too much of their old Arena Football team, the Gladiators.

Shitty name regardless of the reason behind it but who am I to say anything, I'm totally fine with the Braves changing to the Hammers if they're next.
 
It still seems too generic to me, even with the meaning behind it. It sounds like the name of an XFL expansion team that you know isn't going to exist anymore in a calendar year. Maybe I'm sperging about it too much and it will sound better when I hear it a million times.
 
I think I can get used to the Diamond C and the Script logo, but please throw that winged abomination in the trash.

I'll still go to the games, but I don't plan on buying any Guardians gear and I'm sure I'll be among the majority of fans wearing Indians merch to the games.
 
Wasn't the fanbase all in on the Spiders? At least it looked that way from online outreach. I just don't get why you would go against something the fans have already accepted. Fuck us, right?

Can't wait for the same shit to go down next year with the Redskins formally announcing their new identity.
 
The fans' opinion never mattered. They would have also been happy with "Cleveland Tribe", but anything that sounded remotely Native American was immediately off the table.

Besides, I didn't like the Spiders name anyway. It has the stink of a greedy owner stripping the team to its bare bones and selling them off to St. Louis, leaving them with scraps.

Shit, they could have dressed up in technicolor kwanzaa jerseys and been A Tribe Called Cleveland. Works perfectly in 2021 A.F. (After Floyd)

I still think that they missed on a great opportunity to name themselves the 'Steamers'.

It's like owners hate making money. Would have sold like shitcakes. If it were a minor league team, there wouldn't be any second guessing the Steamers name.

Also, what the fuck is up with the Braves insisting on using Joc as a lead off guy? I get that Albies is an RBI machine for us but I think he'd be a lot better in that position.

At this point I want Washington to stay the Football Team. It's fun.
 
Almost had another no-hitter. This time it was Patrick Sandoval of the Angels. He lost his with one out in the 9th when Brent Rooker of the Twins hit a double. Now Minnesota is on the verge of tying the game after a Donaldson RBI double off of the closer.

Down in Houston they were throwing a combined no-hitter until Ryne Stanek gave up a leadoff single in the 8th to the Rangers.

The Astros-Rangers game was pretty weird from a pitching standpoint. The starters combined for 14 walks and Kyle Gibson only threw 48 strikes on 104 pitches, which is about the worst strike percentage I've seen for a guy who hits 100 pitches. He somehow lasted six innings though, because a lot of his walks were four and five pitch ABs and the Astros hit into a couple of double plays.
