Considering the city of Cleveland was named after General Moses Cleveland, I think the Cleveland Generals would probably work. The city could reach out to the Iroquois tribe to license that as a name (part of the Onodaga Nation). They could set it up so that the tribe would get part of proceeds of all merchandise sold by the club with the name and logo, which would best be served by having the tribe give direct influence on it. It would keep the Indians theme and you could still refer to them as the tribe, but instead of viewing it as a slander the actual Iroquois tribe would get to benefit from having a connection to the ball club.
You may want to consider "Knockers". Just conger up some images of "Knockers Night" in the bleachers.
That was a good movie. Sausage party. Where can I get a knife that slices through stuff like the one that the lady just destroyed that sausage with?
I think I've decided I like The Spiders. I agree Duff.............and Cleveland has the Black Widow Spider.......that would be a great logo.
Different sport and a different town so the connection would be meaningless, IMO. Anything connected to Donald Trump is Meaningless.
I meant it as a tag, but quickly saw how it could be the latter. Didn't care to edit it - mostly on principle.
This just brought up another memory from years back. My brother-in-law and I went up to Cleveland for an Indians night game. Usually we stay with my folks but they were on vacation so we got a hotel room downtown and partied it up. We wound up going down to The Flats and went into a strip club called Illusions. They had two sides to the club - one totally nude and one mostly nude with the cover charges being $10 and $20 depending on which one you wanted to go in. I didn't want to spend $20 bucks and then more on overpriced drinks since it was getting late and we were both pretty well lit. We pay the $10 each and the bouncer opens the door for us and as soon as the door opens my bro-in-law sees a stripper on stage and says, "That's no Illusion. That's a fat chick!" (she was pretty big). The bouncer starts laughing his ass off and gives us our money back and then opens the door to the totally nude side and says, "No cover guys and tell the bartender your first round is on me."
??? Baseball or football, because the Generals were a USFL team and I thought we were talking about the Indians?
I know some people lose their mind over everything Trump, but that would be a very tough reach to try and connect. The name would go directly to the founder of the city so it seemed like an easy link/fix. The Iroquois solution is one that makes too much sense for anyone to even bother with. It would create winners on all sides so everyone would be sure to hate it. lol
Over at Cle.com they have a column about all the names being submitted to Paul Hoynes. https://www.cleveland.com/tribe/202...ians-keep-coming-hey-hoynsie-cries-uncle.html
