I’m thoroughly considering these upgrades, but can I go back to the name “Indian” this time?
The Cleveland Guardians announced some changes to their 2025 uniforms Friday, with improvements to all four uniforms aimed at energizing their fan base and paying homage to their history. A franchise that has lasted 124 years. The four jerseys join the Guardians’ City Connect uniforms and complete Cleveland’s new on-field look.

To be precise, the Guardians are upgrading their white home uniforms, gray road uniforms, red home uniforms, and blue alternate road uniforms. The white home uniform will also feature a new hat that will debut this season.
The most notable change is the blue alternate unis with Cleveland’s “Diamond C” on the chest.
Looks good, plays well. ✨

I like the modifications the Guardians are making to the uni, but we’re bringing back the ‘Indians’ branding and that super cool smile because we’re making a bunch of changes and getting back to the classic feel. Why not let it happen? Native American logo?
No, I’ll go with a hilarious, satirical “white” brand if it’s going to cause problems for advertisers.
