Awful. Everything. The name. Logo. Typeface. Auggie Jul 2021 #4

Agree 1000. The font is worse than the name; and I don't care for the name. Capt. America Jul 2021 #6

I think they picked a stupid name. Statues. They named their team after STATUES. Although..I guess it does kind of remind one of their outfield the past few years.

And yes, I am a fan of this team in Cleveland. I just think they screwed this one up. Hubster, who grew up going to baseball games at the old Municipal Stadium, thinks they chose it because it saves the “dians” from the old “Indians”..see..we only changed one little syllable..
