Meh, I disagree with the skyline not being distinct. I don't think it belongs on the jersey, but there are several buildings and alignments that are unique to Cleveland. Unless you follow Mike Polk, I guess.
An example would be a giant triangle window smack-dab in the center of the skyline.. Or the new federal courthouse, which is a semi-circle. Terminal Tower might be old or foreign to you, but it's very unique. You just don't really care because it's not plastered everywhere like the Empire State Building.
I'm not saying they're not nice-looking, well-designed buildings. They're fine. But they're not iconic. Nobody outside of Cleveland is looking at an illustration of the Cleveland skyline and saying, "Ooh! It's the federal courthouse in Cleveland!"
Put it this way: If I put the aforementioned black-and-white versions of the Dallas, Denver and Cincinnati skylines next to each other, how many posters here do you think could tell them apart?
