According to news reports our baseball team – the Cleveland Indians will soon have another name. 

 

In my activism, I have been carrying multi-colored signs supporting our three teams – the Browns, the Cavs, and the Indians. The three photographs show – how the sign for the Indians was edited over the years in keeping with the times -- as they moved from Go Tribe; to Go Tribe, 2016 World Series Runner Up; to now Go ?.

 

I will update the photograph as soon as the new name for the team is agreed upon.

 

And I have been supporting the logos of the three teams on caps I wear under my turban.

 

A few years ago – I switched the Chief Yahoo logo on one of the caps (the cap was a gift from my late wife) to one with the latest block C after I had been accused of not being sensitive to the needs of the native people and subject to sustained harassment.

 

I wear caps under my turban all year round as a sign of support. In the winter months, the caps help a lot to keep my head warm.

 

I am not a fan of major sports – I hardly understand them – let alone play them.

 

But I take a lot of pride in carrying the signs all over Cleveland and outside the major playing venues. However, I have never been inside any of the venues.

 

A number of names have been suggested --- here is a sampling obtained from the following link which covers the background to the suggestions:

 

1. Cleveland Spiders

2. Cleveland Rocks

3. Cleveland Midges

4. Cleveland Wild Things

5. Cleveland Naps

6. Cleveland Dobys

7. Cleveland Guardians
