7. Spiders or Blues

Both were franchise names from long ago.

Guardians is banal, and a forced attempt to create civic pride or identity, similar to when the city referred to itself as "The North Coast" and "The Best Location in the Nation." No one buys that sort of crap.

There's little cadence to "Cleveland Guardians" as well. As I logo designer I critique the new look as rushed, amateurish, and already dated looking.
