Doesn't Cleveland Blue Sox make the most sense?

Carlton · 03-24-2021, 09:58 PM

It is already a done deal by 2022 per Mr. Dolan and it will have no affiliation with Native Americans

wouldn't Blue Sox make the most sense?

Hear me out

Boston RED Sox
Chicago WHITE Sox
Cleveland BLUE Sox

America!

I can see the Blue Sox. Personally I'd like the team to bring back "Naps." Speaking of Cleveland's history, I'd also accept the Cleveland River Fires.

Naps will get shot down by its use as an early slur against blacks. They're going to have to work double time to please the woke mob.

I'm partial to no name change. The mascot is another discussion. Since change is a done deal, I can live with Blue Sox. (I could live with Steamers, too.) Cleveland Republics would be a good one, celebrating the city's industrial heritage.

On a much more serious note...how about renaming the ballpark Station Hope Stadium? Station Hope was the code name for Cleveland on the Underground Railroad back in the day.

Rich, what's the flavor of Burning River Pale Ale like? I'm a big fan of craft brews, and I've not seen that one up north yet. FWIW, they brew Dead Bear here in my burg, and Bellaire Brown and Horny Monk and Manitou Amber are all made within an hour's drive...and all solid beers.

I bet the name will be something boring like the Cleveland Ohioans or Americans. With the Rock and Roll HOF, I would like to see them become the Cleveland Rockers.

They’re not going to name the team the Cleveland Steamers lmfao

I'm drinking a Dortmunder Gold right now. (Same brewery in Cleveland as the one Rich mentioned.)

We had this discussion a while back (archived on the kiddie board - you have to opt in to see it). Right now, the frontrunners seem to be Guardians and Buckeyes.

mytreds · 03-28-2021, 05:28 PM

Cmon man, it’s gotta be the Spiders.

Sizeman21 · 03-28-2021, 05:44 PM

Spiders or Buckeyes sound right to me. Anything else seems too cheesy for a major league nickname.

I agree whole heartedly but the owner has said no affiliation with Native Americans.

Ironic that it coincides with early racists wanting to wipe out indigenous americans who wanted to rename any cities, lakes and land named BY native tribes

As for the stadium, it will probably be named Uber stadium or Proctor and Gamble Park

That may very well be true, but, to be fair, that thread didn't start on the kiddie board. It was just one or two insecure narcissists who caused the thread to be exiled to kiddieland. Everyone else was playing nice.

And if it helps, the main person who was instigating has since been banned from the forums.
