OT: Cleveland _____________________ Name That Team

[Chin Diesel]

I'm sure this will eventually get moved to the baseball board, but still no basketball to talk about, so what say you?

Cleveland needs a name for their MLB team. Here's hoping they can do better than the Washington Football Team.

Cleveland Cavaliers for basketball really doesn't make any sense. Save Cavalier for Virginia. Cleveland Browns may be the most perfect description for a city and franchise ever.
I've seen some suggestion making a play on the movie Major League. Disney already gave us the Ducks in the NHL so there is precedence.
Some have brought up R&R HoF being in Cleveland and doing something with that. Count me out. Made no sense to me that a city without much if any relevance to the history of R&R gets the HoF. No need to double down on that mistake.
Me? I look at Cleveland as a port city on the Great Lakes with a long and strong maritime history.

Cleveland Steamers. Perfect for the city and the ballclub.

Pilgrims?

Quahogs, Razorclams....no that's not it. Littlenecks...no, not that either.

I'm sure someone, or many someones, will figure this out. The Cleveland Teamsters? No, that's not it. I give up.

Did you start this thread just to make this joke? lol.

If we are really trying to guess the name, I was thinking the Cleveland Tribe. They are often referenced as "The Tribe" now and I don't think Tribe would be derogatory.

or

How about the Cleveland Baseball Team...?

 

[SubbaBub]

Would the Cleveland Grovers be a trademark infringement? It worked for Oregon.

 

[jayfromfla]

How about the Mayfield Heights Indians. thought that Cleveland name was racist
