Searching for perspective on the 2013 Indians
August 13, 2013Peter King: “I was just as wrong for jumping on Kosar”
August 13, 2013
It’s been a while since we’ve done a contest with our partners at GV Art and Design. They have certainly been busy, launching a brand new beautiful store in Lakewood, Ohio on Detroit Avenue! The grand opening was last weekend and they had a fantastic turn out with a line that stretched around the block on Saturday afternoon.
Not only did they open the new store, but they debuted six new shirts as well. They launched new Bernie Kosar and Webster Slaughter designs, as well as a couple of landmark shirts of the Terminal Tower and bridge guardian. The Cleveland beer tap shirt is certain to be a hit, but the biggest reaction so far has been for the Team Cleveland design.
So today we are giving away one of the Team Cleveland shirts. To enter, simply leave a comment with an answer to the question below. Be sure that the email address you use to comment is current, as that is how the winners are notified. One entry per household please.
Today’s Question: Which Cleveland team’s uniform would you like to see completely redone?
Please restate the question before you answer. Good luck, and congratulations to GV Art on the new store!

Usually love the shirts you guys hawk, but that design is a prime example of failed pastiche
Would like to see the Cavs uniform redone.
Which Cleveland team’s uniform would you like to see completely redone? Actually, I would love to see the Indians uniform redone without Chief Wahoo symbol. I am one that believes that it is a symbol of racism. I am sure many would disagree…and that is their right.

Indians uniform could use some minor re-tooling. Not a fan of Wahoo on the uniforms. I would prefer them to continue to move toward the block “C” or some other new logo. I was a fan of the dark blue throw-backs, but that might be a little much for everyday unis.
I’d like to see the Indians uniform re-done. I agree with Tony that it’s time for Chief Wahoo to go and maybe the Indians nickname. Maybe it will bring us better luck.
The Browns!! Need to feature the Orange more and less of the White Jersey!!
Which Cleveland team’s uniform would I like to see completely redone? It would have to be the Cleveland Cavaliers. I think it’s time for a fresh start on the basketball front. I mean they already have about 8 different jersey colors as it is, so the transition would not be that hard. Tribe is classic, Browns cannot and will not ever change unless you mean style or design. I’d like to see the Cavs bring back the classic Blue and orange of the Price,Daugherty era.

The Indians, preferably with less (as in no) Wahoo.
I want the Browns uniform to be completely re-done. I understand and love the history and tradition but I think it is time to solidify an actual logo for the team. I don’t like the orange helmet as a logo. Bring back Brownie the elf or go with something totally new!
It’s a toss up of either addition or subtraction. I would love to add the brownie elf to the Browns and I would like to remove Chief Wahoo and the the script I. I like the plain and simplicity of the yellow block lettered Cavs uniforms… Now that I think about it – I would redo the Indians Uniform: Block lettering on the jerseys, Block C on the hat and no more Wahoo.

The Cleveland Browns uniform. After years of minor tweeks, it’s time to see what is possible creatively. I would be intrigued to see what kind of changes could be made if given a chance…
Which Cleveland team’s uniform would you like to see completely redone? Cleveland State basketball uniforms.
Which Cleveland team’s uniform would you like to see completely redone?
Cavs. I think I am one of the only people who think that their current unis are hideous.
Which Cleveland team’s uniform would you like to see completely redone? The Cleveland team’s uniform I’d like to see redone but not completely is the Browns. I think we can have a brownie elf logo with an aggressive look to it. Keep the Brown jerseys and orange helmet can’t be touched. Bring back orange pants and have a sick alternate!
Which Cleveland team’s uniform would you like to see completely redone? The Browns: The colors are great but some updated lines/design would be nice (and wouldn’t mind the elf being incorporated on the helmet).
The cavs I like the colors but I think they need a Lil more flare,that shirt is awesome!!!
Which Cleveland team’s uniform would you like to see completely redone?
I’d have to go with the Browns. I love them and I love the tradition, but I think it’s time to create a new identity for the team. The only thing I’d leave alone is the helmet, but I’d make some changes to the uniforms. As someone else said, I’d emphasize the orange more and white less. I love the brown uniforms and orange pants and would like to see some more experimentation with Brown and Orange.
Browns
Which Cleveland team’s uniform would you like to see completely redone?
The Cavs for sure. Wine & Gold is a pretty crummy color pallette. Worse even than Brown and Orange.
Which Cleveland team’s uniform would you like to see completely redone?
The Cavs. I have always been a fan of the late 80’s uniforms. I would like to see the Cavs go back to the Orange and Blue colors.
Which Cleveland team’s uniform would you like to see completely redone?
I would like to see the Indians get a chance to wear the throwbacks from 1921 again.

Which Cleveland team’s uniform would you like to see completely redone?
The indians uni’s need to go. The font and style on the front, while its reminiscent of the 90s and brings good feelings, it only makes me sad when I think of how low the team and city morale has gotten. I know uniforms cant change the team’s ability on the field but it might spark fan interest.
Which Cleveland team’s uniform would you like to see completely redone?
Cleveland Crush. I like all the real sports so this was the only logical choice
Just use the same as the reds but add some blue too?
Maybe we can wear that opening day next year. April 1st.
What? They already have liked 10 versions noone would notice.
I’d like to see the Indians uniform redone without chief wahoo and without the block C.
They have already begun to faze the chief out and it’s sad.
LoL nice matt only one problem: they need to win a world championship first!
Too easy: The Gladiators baby! Btw like the shirt it’s time $hamWow win’s one just for all of the great material he provides on a daily basis!
Gonna go check out the Bernie Kosar tee now in support of BK!
Brown jersey/orange pants AMEN!
Which Cleveland team’s uniform would you like to see completely redone?
Agree with many here: the Tribe, sans idiotic, racist Wahoo. Tired of people twisting all logic to protect an ugly symbol that was a mistake from the start, and which even the team, by periodically modifying the facial features, has implicitly acknowledged as offensive.
Which Cleveland team’s uniform would you like to see completely redone?
Cavaliers. The current uniforms just don’t do it for me, I would like to see a redesign.
Today’s Question: Which Cleveland team’s uniform would you like to see completely redone?
I would say the Indians. As much as I loved Chief Wahoo growing up, it’s time for the team and the city to move on. I love the old school block C and I would love to see it incorporated into their uniforms as well as the caps. I’d probably go for a name change as well. A close second would be the Browns – Bring back the orange pants with dark brown jerseys!
Would like to the Cavs uniforms redone, they are too basic and plain. The color combo is also ugly, especially the yellow jerseys. A fresh start would also be nice, there is no hiding the fact of Lebrons shadow and I feel the recent jerseys are just a reminder of the hopeless couple years right after he left. Also pick me !
Which Cleveland team’s uniform would you like to see completely redone?
The Cleveland Team’s uniform that I would most like to see COMPLETELY redone is the Cavs. I dont like the color combo anymore. I would like to see them get away from the wine and gold. It is getting stale as far as I am concerned. And please… PLEASE leave the Cleveland Indians uniforms alone. We are NOT the Cleveland Cs. Chief Wahoo is an icon and needs to stay.
Which Cleveland team’s uniform would you like to see completely redone? I would have to say the Tribe. The Browns are classics, the Cavs already have some good options, but the Indians need some work. I can’t get myself to like that ‘C’ on their hats. The ‘I’ was okay, but we need something better.
Today’s Question: Which Cleveland team’s uniform would you like to see completely redone?
The Indians. But mainly I would just make players stop wearing pants that are comically over sized and honestly look like Hammer pants. Have more guys wear the high socks.
Which Cleveland team’s uniform would you like to see completely redone?
None
I’ll be unoriginal and say the Indians as well. Wahoo needs to go!
The Browns are overdue for a uniform change. I don’t want anything drastic that takes away from the history of the franchise, but we could modernize them to an extent. Primarily, I would love to see the Browns Elf get back in the game. I love the new shirt and would love to land a free one! If I don’t, Ill probably buy one anyway!
No. I think they should wear them anyway.
Gotta be the Tribe. Bring back the Cleveland Spiders!
Which Cleveland team’s uniform would you like to see completely redone?
The Indians uniforms are most needed redone. The Cavs updated their color scheme and focus a few years back and the Browns is iconic. Some people do not like the name or the Chief Wahoo on the Indians but that is not the primary reason for needing change. Uniforms either need to be iconic or hip and up to date. The Indians will never reach the Browns level of iconic so they should focus on hip and up to date. What is keeping them, besides money, from being the Oregon of professional baseball? No team has yet done so. Take the market by storm, draw in fans and sell more merch. Blow us away and make it cool again to wear Indians gear.
Which Cleveland team’s uniform would you like to see completely redone?
I’d like to see the Browns uniform updated and brought into the 21st century. It seems so old and outdated.
Which Cleveland team’s uniform would you like to see completely redone?
The Browns! I understand that most love the fact that the uniform has been consistent, but some changes need to happen. Lose the dog they use for branding and go with the elf. Put the elf on the sleeve or under armour under the sleeve. The numbers should be highlighted with an orange border. Space the white and brown stripes on the helmet. Place 3 wide stripes across the middle of the jersey with brown, white and orange depending on home/away.
Either way, they need to do a throwback with brown jersey and orange pants just for 1 game a year against the steelers.
Which Cleveland team’s uniform would you like to see completely redone?
The Browns obviously! The tribe gets new logos and colors it seems every year, and the cavs have more uniforms then they can count, I would like to see some changes to the browns, but not that drastic.
Which Cleveland team’s uniform would you like to see completely redone?
The Indians, less Wahoo
Today’s Question: Which Cleveland team’s uniform would you like to see completely redone?
Indians. Love The Cavs Unis And Its Blasphemous To Touch The Browns. Process Of Elimination Has To Be The Tribe.
Which Cleveland team’s uniform would you like to see completely redone?
I think they’re all fine jerseys now, but what I would LOVE to see is the Browns bring back the brown jersey/orange pants combo.
