    Default Bye-bye 'Chief Wahoo'

    The Cleveland Indians are getting rid of their logo for the 2019 season.

    Interesting that they make this statement before the 2018 season... but are not going to eliminate it to 2019.

    Seems like it is being forced from authorities rather than a decision by the team brass.

    If the team brass really though it was wrong they would eliminate it immediately, would they not?

    Likely not happening until 2019 because MLB uniforms will be changing from Majestic to Under Armour. I believe the news release did mention that Rob Manfred was leading this and that Cleveland brass were on board with the decision.

    I don’t think they’re uniforms will change much as it’s been their alternate logo since 2014. As far as I know they only use it on two of their current hats and on the sleeve of some of their jerseys.

    I don't think they are changing it... just eliminating the one logo and will use there other two logos... and then they might create another logo...but no word on this.

    Deal is actually for 2020, so I guess this change with the Indians does not relate directly to new uniforms.

    It's all bout the money. Let people know a year in advance that merchandise with this logo will be discontinued, and watch the sales go boom.
