Well that is certainly a nothing name. Sounds like an insurance company. Rumor is they took Guardians because no one else wanted it.

Underwhelming to say the least. The slience in the room will be deafening. I can see the franchise getting raked over the coals in some corners. I was hoping for Spiders.

From Rotoworld (NBC Sports Edge... speaking of uninteresting names):
"The Indians announced Friday that they will be known as the Cleveland Guardians following the conclusion of the 2021 season.
The organization announced a while ago that they would be changing their nickname and now we know what it will be. "Guardians" is a reference to a structure on the Hope Memorial Bridge in Cleveland which is known as the "Guardians of Traffic," and it is incorporated into their new logo, as well."
I appreciate it that the team name is based on the city, but I agree that it could have been more interesting.

I suspect that they also selected Guardians, because it sounds like Indians (Guar-dians / In-dians). I appreciate the explanation about the bridge, but the new name is indeed not very inspiring.

After the Braves change their name, we"ll have to start giving all the land back.

I don't like the new name of Guardians. I would have preferred Spiders.

Even the Natives would've been a better name. This ultra-woke stuff is too much. Blackhawks, Buccaneers, Braves - you're on deck!
Pretty soon the Blue Jays will be considered "non-inclusive" to other bird species and eventually there'll be no team names - just cities, like the old Nintendo games.
