Indians advertised in video package on Twitter this morning their new franchise name will be the Cleveland Guardians. It was reported last night that a decision had been made and that an announcement could be made.
The franchise announced in early July last year that a name change was under consideration, and by December it became clear that the organization was moving forward with a new name in the near future. The team selected the “Guardians” from a list of 1,100 initial possibilities.
The new nickname “Guardians” is a nod to the eight statues along Cleveland’s Hope Memorial Bridge, called “Guardians of Traffic”. The name has been a reported favorite for some time now. Others are considered, including the Spiders (a reminder of the Cleveland baseball franchise of the late 1800s) and the Rocks or Rockers (a nod to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame).
More soon.
