I think I rather refer to them as the Cleveland Steamers. Absolutely refuse to acknowledge the absurdity of their name change. If you want to change names go to a different city imo or atleast give us name like Washington football Team that is hilarious.
Why should they go to a different city? Though don't tempt their owners, they may consider it.
THey've been in the process of distancing themselves from the Indians name for a long time, their Logo changed in 2014 which means they've probably been working towards this for a decade or so.
Though I would like Cleveland Baseball Team. I would be down with that. Mascots are just kind of dumb anyway. Consider baseball team names.
Chicago White Sox - Lame
Detroit Tigers - Lame
Kansas City Royals -Lame
Minnesota Twins - Best of that division by a ton
Baltimore Orioles - Lame
Boston Red Sox - Lame
New York Yankees - Not even the most Yankee team in baseball
Tampa Bay Rays - Lame
Toronto Blue Jays - Lame
Houston Astros - Lame
LA Angels - Lame
Oakland Athletcs -how exciting and generic.
Seattle Mariners - Probably the best team name in baseball.
Texas Rangers - GET IT? LIKE THE STATE POLICE
Chicago Cubs - Lame
Cincinnati Reds - Cool
Milwaukee Brewers - decent
Pittsburgh Pirates - Lame
St. Louis Cardinals - Lame
Atlanta Braves - Lame
Miami Marlins - Super Lame
New York Mets - decent
Philadelphia Phillies - good
Washington Nationals - Lame
Arizona Diamondbacks - Lame
Colorado ROckies - Lame
LA Dodgers - Used to mean something, now it means nothing
SD Padres - not terrible

The idea of mascots are just kind of lame. I get it from a marketing stand point, but it's pretty lame.
