I believe this has been discussed earlier in the thread, but the idea that "Indians" was supposed to be named in honor of Louis Sockalexis has been studied by scholars. See this link for an article from the Sociology of Sport Journal in 1998 (click here for a link to the actual journal page to show this isn't just a random website---the first link just has the text for free).

I highlight the following section of the article:
Please tldr that thing
 
What a way for the Chief to go out. And on Columbus Day too...
 
On top of phasing out Wahoo, the Indians added a red alternate and changed the font of the blue uniforms from script to block while making it read Cleveland instead of Indians. Caps are all blue and blue with a red bill. Obviously ASG patches are added for this season on the caps and jerseys.

The block C is just so damn vanilla, I hate it. Nothing unique or interesting about it. If you're going to use a letter-based logo, at least put in some effort... And I say that as someone who thought it best to retire Wahoo.

The red alternate is nice though.
 
The blue jersey needs piping like the others. The Red Sox don't have piping (other than their white jersey) and it leaves their uniforms looking so plain. Wish they would've put the block C on the left arm and All Star logo on the left. Maybe we see that change next year (minus the AS logo, of course)

Reds look great
 
I still can’t get over how much I LOVE the all star logo

What a creative and fresh idea. Did you guys know that Cleveland is home to the rock n roll HOF?! Rock on!!!!
 
The new navy alternate is horrible. Looks like a practice jersey or one of those player shirts you would get at Kmart.
 
That new blue uniform is awful. As is the all-star logo.

Everything else looks clean. I love the hat with the red bill.

As far as I’m concerned, the crooked C should be the permanent team logo. It’s unique and has the relevance to the area with Cuyahoga, of course, translating to “crooked river.”
 
Which Indian would you be most interested in including in a Lucky Pierre with Baker @David.

Block C is better
