The name change for Cleveland’s baseball team is now official. Say hello to the Cleveland Guardians.
Months after deciding to drop the Indians as the team name, the management revealed the new name in a video produced for social media on Friday morning.
It will take some time to get used to the new name. Guardians had been one of the prominent choices in the speculation about the rebranding, along with Spiders (a historical nod) and Rocks (or Rockers). The team opted to drop the Indians after over a century due to ongoing pressure from Native American groups and social activists.
