Will they allow Indians gear in the park next season? Are they continuing to sell it?The name change is effective at the end of the 2021 season.

They should have just gone with the FTD Florists.The logo is derivative of the statues.
So you’re saying they should be called the Ocean Fire?I wish there was at least a basic Cleveland quiz people were required to take before they could make their dumb insults. The Cuyahoga River caught fire, not Lake Erie. Also, for future reference, the "Mistake by the Lake" referred to Cleveland Stadium, which has been gone for more than a quarter of a century. FirstEnergy Stadium, where the Browns play, is located there. The Indians play over a mile away from the lake (or ocean if you're Oil Can Boyd).
Team names become respectable over time. Guardians feels bland/generic but so far as these things go I tend to think all you want to do is be better than the Wizards, Nets, Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim garbage tier.Hell, we root for the Red Sox, which only gained name greatness because of decades of history. Guardians is perfectly fine
So getting bankrupted by Disney was not accounted for?That was definitely in the calculus of it I’m sure.
Isn't that the Titan of Braavos' cousin?This aged very well.

The gear at the stadium pro shop and stores in the area is now 90% off.Will they allow Indians gear in the park next season? Are they continuing to sell it?

A potential complication, there’s a roller derby team in Cleveland with the Guardians name.
The Indians should negotiate the logo as well."we are unable to comment at this time" means the lawyers are hashing out money, so yeah, they googled.
And as someone else suggested, this should be their official hat.The Indians should negotiate the logo as well.
Why would the Cleveland Baseball Team announce this before it’s hashed out?"we are unable to comment at this time" means the lawyers are hashing out money, so yeah, they googled.
Cause they have enough resources to not be very bothered about stepping on the toes of a roller derby team, likely.Why would the Cleveland Baseball Team announce this before it’s hashed out?

or the discussion is down to “20 free season tickets” or “18 free season tickets and 200 t shirts”Cause they have enough resources to not be very bothered about stepping on the toes of a roller derby team, likely.
Bit pricer than that I'd expect. Baseball-guys will want the name, domain name, and likely for the derby team to change their name as well, so there aren't marketing issues.or the discussion is down to “20 free season tickets” or “18 free season tickets and 200 t shirts”
Wasn’t this Drew Carey episode?I think the roller-derby's team's graphics are better than Cleveland-Baseball-Club-Team-Guys.

Plus, you don't want to mess with them.
And the story of twins.com is always fun to revisit:as someone who has experience in this area, you can’t let it make your decisions.
there’s a reason that Brooklyn still doesn’t own nets.com.
Well, he can change up to honking a car horn. That would be fun.The guy who bangs away on the war drum for 9 innings in the bleachers is now out of a job however.
They should sprinkle a few of them around the ballpark.Those statues are tremendous. Can't believe I didn't know about them. Love it.
They really are great. They remind me of something you might see as part of the architecture in downtown Gotham City. Perhaps on either side of the front of the Wayne Enterprises buildingThose statues are tremendous. Can't believe I didn't know about them. Love it.
The classic "One door closes, another one opens" scenario.Well, he can change up to honking a car horn. That would be fun.
View: https://youtu.be/zp7xMfOOsYII know Tom Hanks spent some time in Cleveland, but couldn't they actually get someone who was born and raised there to do the voice over??
They should put one statute on each foul line - they can "guard" the foul lines. Besides, it will be a fun obstacle for the players to navigate!They should sprinkle a few of them around the ballpark.
Like the centerfield monuments at the original Yankee Stadium. I vote that they should put a Guardian head on top of each foul pole.They should put one statute on each foul line - they can "guard" the foul lines. Besides, it will be a fun obstacle for the players to navigate!
People keep saying because the last five letters in “Guardians” are the same as the last five in “Indians,” it will make for an easy transition. Are we really concerned the people of Cleveland can’t learn a new name without the help of “d-i-a-n-s?” There’s no doubt that the Guardians of Traffic statues on the Lorain-Carnegie bridge are great pieces of public art, but do they really represent the city and its people? When the country finds out the team named itself after four statues on a vehicle bridge representing different kinds of traffic they will rightfully think, “Damn, that town’s got nothing, huh?” On top of that, it’s not even unique. The XFL has a team called the New York Guardians, and if you think that sounds like a perfect name for a team in the XFL, you’re correct. Not to mention it’s the new name for members of the Space Force, whatever that is.
THE G-MEN!!!
And then they'll never be able to find it.And they can call the ball park the G-spot.
There's no sense in continuing, lock the thread right now. Drum roll, standing ovation, and fist bumps all around.And then they'll never be able to find it.
“Rock 'n roll! Hello Cleveland!”And then they'll never be able to find it.
Seriously. This is a winning lottery ticket for a roller derby team.It is called negotiating. Anyone want to bet the baseball team isn’t going to be called the Guardians?
I expect they negotiated a figure awhile ago and now this is a great marketing opportunity for the roller team that perhaps the baseball team is participating with in some way.Seriously. This is a winning lottery ticket for a roller derby team.
Their logo is way cooler.Well, now I don't know how I could possibly pass on picking up a Cleveland Guardians Rollerderby shirt.
https://store.clevelandguardians.com/Well, now I don't know how I could possibly pass on picking up a Cleveland Guardians Rollerderby shirt.
The only reason I could see the baseball team agreeing to participate in any way would be if it helped move the negotiations along because from the outside they look quite inept.I expect they negotiated a figure awhile ago and now this is a great marketing opportunity for the roller team that perhaps the baseball team is participating with in some way.
Also amused by this line:Two months after the baseball team filed its trademark application, it contacted the roller derby team to inform it of the name change, according to the lawsuit. As the two teams corresponded, Gary Sweatt, the owner of Guardians Roller Derby, offered to sell the rights to his team’s names, including the website, and invited the M.L.B. team to make an offer.
In June, the M.L.B. team offered to pay “a nominal amount,” the lawsuit said. Mr. Sweatt rejected the offer and countered with another proposal, which the baseball team did not address, according to the lawsuit. In July, the baseball team announced its name change with a theatrical video posted online that was narrated by Tom Hanks.
In the lawsuit, the roller derby team said it was “inconceivable that an organization worth more than $1B and estimated to have annual revenues of $290M+ would not have at least performed a Google search for ‘Cleveland Guardians’ before settling on the name.”
