Cleveland Baseball Team to Change

[Michchamp]

Come on...that name isn't even the most offensive name for a Cleveland professional sports team. The Cleveland Browns!? A team where most of the players are Brown! They need to change that name ASAP.

Cleveland African Americans?

Maybe the players union needs to negotiate the team name

Cleveland Union Negotiated Team.

The CUNTS

I always figured you were more of a Cincinnati guy.

With 30 baseball teams you?re going to soon be getting into some pretty esoteric hues.

The Mauve Sox?

The Magenta Sox?

The Fuchsia Sox?

The Burnt Siena Sox

The Cyan Sox

The Periwinkle Sox

or Cleveland Union Named Team.

that's much better.

The Periwinkle Sox

Cadmium Yellow Sox


Van Dyke Brown Sox


Titanium White Sox


Cobalt Blue Sox

I think when a team moniker is presented in all caps, the pluralizing “s” is also capitalized.

Even when the moniker is an acronym? I agree, if you are the PIRATES or the COWBOYS, capitalize the “S”. But if you’re the Cleveland Union Named Team, would the small “s” possibly avoid a lot of misunderstanding?

Sounds like a job for this guy...

Close, it is a reference, but not that guy.

That?s a point. I don?t know any other teams that are actually acronyms.

Baseball has a history of spelling plural acronyms incorrectly anyway.

Runs batted in is usually spelled RBIs - what?s up with that?

Just go back to the Cleveland Spiders.

Just go back to the Cleveland Spiders.

The Indians were never the Spiders.

Cleveland Indians 1915-2020
Cleveland Naps 1903-1914
Cleveland Bronchos 1902-1902
Cleveland Blues 1901-1901

It’s a point but is it a good one? And While we’re at it, how about the way they spell Socks?

Cleveland Chaps (that will piss off everyone)

Cleveland Crusaders (so will this)

Cleveland Commodores (so will this)

Well, the team will remain the Cleveland Indians in 2021. Then, in 2022, it will change its name to one that virtually everyone will criticize -- whatever it might be.

The Cleveland Sounders is another possibility. For the RRHOF and the river.

 

[Gulo Blue]

Cleveland Beavers, for the assonance.

Now they?re just being attention whores.

Maybe the Attention Whores should be the new moniker.

Cleveland Beavers, for the assonance.

Beavers is a good-enough name for Oregon State ...

Imagine if they were to follow tomdalton's recommendation and that's the team name the Union came up with.

I?m not awake enough to think about the term that would make the Washington football team the WANKERS.

Anyone else want to take a shot?

You want to drop a punchline without a setup? I guess the clown can stay, but the Ferengi in the gorilla suit has to leave.
