According to reports, the Cleveland Indians have a new name. But if you want to know what it is, you’re going to have to wait.

Here’s what we know about the new nickname for the Cleveland Indians.

In an article on Cleveland.com, it’s rumored that Cleveland’s baseball team has its future nickname locked and ready for an announcement. However, there is no timetable on when that announcement might be, let alone what the team’s new nickname will be.

It has been reported that Cleveland would have a new nickname and logo for the 2022 season. The team first announced a change would be coming in July of 2020, and the 2021 season has seen the team primarily use the block C and Cleveland uniforms.

More Indians. A difficult decision forthcoming. light

The familiar logo using Chief Wahoo was removed during the 2019 campaign and, when fans returned to the ballpark this season, Native American headdresses and certain types of face paint were banned from Progressive Field. However, anything bearing Chief Wahoo was ruled OK to wear for Opening Day and beyond.

More than 1,100 options for a new Cleveland team name have been submitted. Among the favorites for a new name is going back to a classic, the Cleveland Spiders, which was a National League team from 1887-1899. Six members of the Baseball Hall of Fame played for the Spiders during its existence, including Cy Young, who listed the Spiders as his primary team when he was inducted into Cooperstown.

Will the Spiders rise again in Cleveland? It’s certainly among the names that could cast a web in the American League Central.

Among the other names that have been mentioned as fan favorites are the Guardians, Rockers, and even Cleveland Baseball Club, taking a cue from the NFL’s Washington Football Team, another franchise that decided to do away with its Native American mascot in recent years.

When will Cleveland Indians fans and the rest of the world know the team’s new name? That’s a secret that is guarded as well as the name itself right now.
