I think Spiders is the obvious choice but you know there's someone in the organization who is going to be getting checks from Jann Wenner to push for the Cleveland Rocks

that Cavs city jersey is only the beginning, the rock hall wants to be the thing in Cleveland

That was just the Spiders' final season though, when the owners shipped all their good players to St. Louis. Before that they were pretty good! They had this one pitcher, some guy called Cy Young, won 240 games with them, and they went to a World Series.

Right, but the only reason people still bring up the name is because of that 1899 season

I was born in Cleveland, but moved when I was 5. One of my few memories of my time living there were the absolutely massive spiders there. If you remember the 2007 ALDS with all those midges, there were constantly swarms of them around my house, which was right on the lake. Spiders had an unlimited supply of midges to eat and they became enormous, like golf-ball-sized bodies, then they loved to show up in the basement where I played and terrify me. Those fuckers could jump too.

So please name them the Spiders.

Every single year the Ivy League takes a break from fucking up the world through its various alumni to fuck up everyone's bracket instead.
The Braves will drag this process out forever but when they do finally get to changing the name at least they have an obvious candidate waiting.

Guardians feels likely because the script I already looks close to a G and it ends in "dians" so that can largely keep the typeface and aesthetics the same.

LD is made by people who are actual fans of Berman-era Trek and it shows

They are also able to poke fun at the rest of Trek in a fun but loving way. The sequence where they recreate the part in TMP where the Enterprise refit is introduced had me rolling.

This is like that episode where Worf keeps shifting universes and ends up in one where Picard is dead, only this time you jumped to a universe where mcmagic is only wrong most of the time.

Cleveland has a ton of groundhogs, so I’m going with the Cleveland Groundhogs as my second to the Spiders. I will also accept Walleyes, since we need more fish mascots.
