Well, it is better than their AHL team, the Lake Erie Monsters.

So Cleveland has Guardians and Cavaliers. The local sports reporters must be having a field day.

I guess it’s the best they could do given that “Rocket City Trash Pandas” was already taken.

That said, that’s a really good intro video Tom Hanks narrated.

Can we all go ahead and eliminate the use of the current racist team name from our posts on this board? It's easy enough to simply say Cleveland and we all know which team you are referencing. Too tired to type out Cleveland? Just type CLE and we'll know. Thanks.

Nobody has used them. Personally I've been referring to them as TTFKATToons but guess I'll start calling them by their chosen name soon. Based on that logo there are going to be some funny nicknames people come up with.

Rockets or Rockers could have easily been used... and it would probably would have kept the R&RHOF there a little longer.

Is the RRHOF thinking of leaving Cleveland?

I'm okay with Guardians since it sounds like there is a local connection to the name. Rockers sounds more like a WNBA or minor league name to me.

Anyway, this makes it easier to change their stationary:

I don't think it's a particularly good name, but I also have been unable to come up with a better name myself.

Guardians? Was there a contest, I don't think so, the good citizens of Cleveland would have come up with something better than that.

Never could figure out what TTFKATT stands for, please enlighten me.
