Cleveland Indians to become the Guardians

[Blackhawkswincup]

I imagine Dolan probably lowballed the people who owned rights and now its going to courts

Cleveland Guardians roller derby team was first so they should have case if they trademarked it properly

I'm in the minority obviously, but I like the name. I liked Indians, too, but I like this one as well. Only disaster is that font as shown in the post above. That's awful.

What about all the fans who blew a bunch of money on now irrelevant Cleveland Indians merch? Will they be reimbursed? Those jerseys aren’t cheap.

They could have had Cleveland Spiders for free but went ahead with inferior name that would cost them money.

Sad. Whatever though. Not my money and its not Cleveland Indians anymore.

If they went ahead and bought Indians merchandise after they announced they would be changing their name then no. They should not be given anything.
