Will the Cleveland Indians become the Cleveland Steaming Manholes?


Now that the Redskins trademark has been taken away from the NFL's Washington Redskins, the article Case Won't End With Just The Redskins, Says New Canaan Businessman suggests that other teams will suffer the same setback. The Cleveland Indians are another team that may find their trademark protection removed. Several years ago Stanford University decided to change their mascot from the Stanford Indians to the Stanford Tree. Stanford rejected the ideas of the mascot being a steaming manhole or a giant french fry. Personally, I think if the Cleveland Indians have to change their mascot name, the Cleveland Steaming Manholes would fit just fine.
