Yuck.
I like Pigskins as a replacement for Redskins for many of the same reasons that must've been used to rationalize why they went with Guardians to replace Indians. But Guardians just doesn't sound right, IMO.

Apparently there is a bridge in Cleveland with two large Greek-like statues "guarding" the city.
Which, I guess is kind of cool but if you are going to lean into it, lean into it all the way. This is a very half-assed attempt at a rebrand.

Is Tom Hanks from Cleveland or did they just use him in the video to add gravitas to the name? Not sure even he can sell this one.

I looked it up cause I wasn't sure. His wiki page says he's born and raised in Cali, but getting into theatre he interned in Cleveland and thats where his acting career basically started before moving to NYC.

Apparently Hanks lived there for a few years in the 70's.
I liked Spiders, too. Anybody know what the argument against that was?

But yeah. Dumb name. I guess the Cleveland Dolans wasn't well received either?

The tie-in to the statues are cool. Had never heard of them, but if they're super famous in Cleveland then that's cool. Very Ravens-esque in that regard, actually, for the team name to be a reference to a piece of local culture.

The WWE was in Cleveland last night and when the name Guardians was mentioned, it got booed big time.

I think it’s fine. Name is cool, color scheme is boring, logo needs improvement.
Honestly think they should've committed to a full rebrand, start wearing purple or neon green or something less common than navy blue/red

They're still shitty .

Guess no Guardians of the Galaxy tie ins .?
The new name might save them in uniform money. Tale off the logo and remove the IN to replace with GUAR keeping the DIANS.
