Or change the team symbol from an Indian head to a baked potato.

After a year of getting used to it, no, it's still a terrible name.

The Guardians and the COMMANDERS. Christ, all they had to do was rename the Redskins the Pigskins. I don't have a good suggestion for the Indians, but in my opinion the larger issue there was getting rid of Chief Wahoo.

The mascot will be wearing an orange safety belt and holding a traffic cone as a megaphone.

Chief Zebra Crossing!

It's a horrible name, hahah.

As for why "Guardians" was chosen: the Hope Memorial Bridge in Cleveland (right next to the stadium) have statues at each end of the bridge called the Guardians of Traffic. The winged G logo is inspired by the winged helmets and crowns on the Guardians.

I love that they have a "guardian of traffic" statue and the most famous unsolved murder near Cleveland is the Mad Butcher of Kingsbury Run who murdered homeless people on [i]trains[/i]. That's like Nagasaki having a giant statue of Roy Shildt. I'll stick to a bad commute in traffic if it means my guts don't get strewn across Playhouse Square.

BAAAHAhahahaa.
