Do Not Sell My Personal Information

I really don’t think any teams are cursed. The Browns and Cavs lost to all time greats in the 80s. The Browns have been mismanaged since. The Indians were mismanaged for 40 years. They just did not get the breaks in extras of the two game 7s.

Small market teams have small windows. And the Browns have been poorly managed until now. The Guardians have the misfortune of being in the AL which is the better league. The way they are run, we could get a WS in the next 20 years though.

It’s real to me dammit.
 
Guardians, G's, G-Men, Guards etc all work for me as long as the are coming out and competing day in and day out... Not sure if @The Oi 's Guardinias works though, but to each our own lol (how exactly would you say that outloud? Lol)
 
Gardenia, eh?

I found out I know a girl who voices one of the female characters from Dragon Ball Z. She’s pretty cute too.

Bet you dorks are jealous.

In your sphere*.

Feel like that’s the caveat in this. In your sphere you know very few people who like the Guardians rebrand.

Fact still remains that it was the overwhelming favorite amongst focus groups over the 3+ years of hammering things out. 3:1 over the Spiders.

A majority of people absolutely like it or it doesn’t effect them whatsoever, which is a win when you rebrand down to the team name.

I have my doubt that whatever happened in the focus group resembles what happened within the general public. Even something as simple as online polls - the Spiders always won from what I remember. So something had to happen where people were essentially led to choosing the Guardians to get that 3:1 ratio. If the public is going to get this initial shock and get that negative first impression it doesn't really matter that they'd be a little more malleable in an extended focus group setting.

Could also be people are more likely to express negative opinions online than positive, especially as relates to sports.

(Says a guy who doesn’t care for Chief Wahoo or the new branding)

TBH I never heard a name I cared that much about. Mostly just interested in the team. I do really dislike the G wing logo though.

There was no reason for the name change. Nothing was offensive about the name and history/tradition means a lot to fans. It's central to sports. Name change was always going to be dud and worse than Indians.

Spiders WAY better than Indians.

There were history and tradition there, and the logo possibilities would have been ENDLESS.
