What Should I Name My MLB Cleveland Franchise

Part of my EBL vs MLB league started with historical 1999 MLB. They were called the Spiders for a brief time but I changed them back to Indians, mostly because there are not many Spiders jerseys and logos that Io like.
If you have jerseys and logos post them please.

I voted write-in. Findin a Write-in logo may be tough, though.

Cleveland Native Americans.

Can be shortened to Cleveland Natives.



PS: does it qualify as a tongue-in-cheek post?

When I was trying to name my Cleveland franchise, I did an exhaustive 3-minute internet search and discovered that apparently the original people living on the south shore of Lake Erie called themselves "People of the Mountain Lion". Erie was a shortened form of the Iroquois word referring to these people that meant roughly "long-tailed cat".

So, that gives several possibilities using all the words for mountain lion - like
Cleveland Cougars
Cleveland Catamounts
Cleveland Lions
Cleveland Panthers
Cleveland Pumas

I ended up going with just Cleveland Cats. I like it.

But I also like "Cleveland Write-Ins" too....

(Hm. for alliteration that could become Cleveland Candidates)

voted Indians as there is NOTHING racist about it .... people do not know that the logo was created in a contest back in 1947 (or there abouts) and it was a 17 year old kid who won the contest .... NOTHING racist about it. The racism that's being touted is nothing more than a liberal political tactic to gain a beachhead into a sport that gives us a respite away from daily grind of life. So please learn history if you gonna say its racist

Racism stemming from ignorance is still racism.

You need to get a new sarcasm detector. Or I need to quit being sarcastic, so I’ll be spared a self righteous lecture like this one...

Then try collecting FACTs before you buy into this school of thought. Then I be spared your nonsense. You can insult me all you want. That still doesn't change the facts. Why don't people research something to learn instead of assume of what a small group of fools in the 70s and 80s said who trying to get 15 minutes of fame. I have a few logical questions to ask.but I wont ask it. After doing more research nobody has been able to prove that its racist they only give opinions. Yes I have looked at both sides of the issue.

My friend, this is a online forum for a baseball simulation game, on the topic of naming a franchise where Chief Wahoo (to my knowledge, I mean there is the "Indians is racist!!!" which is satirical at best) was never brought up outside of your comment, why the hell are you arguing on the basis of the racism of the indians logo here? We don't care. Well, I can't speak for all, but I certainly don't care. If you don't believe Chief Wahoo is racist, that's fine, but you need to realize that there are people in the world with different opinions than you.

Yelling into the void, even with facts backing it up, is never going to change that fact. You're literally preaching to the choir here, and nobody wants to hear it. Just let this be a friendly conversation on the name of a man's Cleveland franchise and let that be the end of it. There's no need for this unnecessary escalation.
