Cleveland Baseball team. (New news)

BREAKING: The Indians new name will not be a variation of "Cleveland Baseball Team" or "Tribe."
The earliest the team will get a new name is 2022.
(Bleacher Report on Twitter)

I agree with the name change but why do they have to wait till 2022 for a name, How hard is it to name a sports team.

Cuyahoga Chiefs!

Jerseys
Signage
Copyrights

SDS recoding

It's a little bit more involved than "oh, we're the something somethings now."
