Bump.

You'll learn why very soon.

He gone

It's gotta be gone, or at least there's got to be an "end date". Manfred sternly said he was "dealing with that this offseason" towards the end of the 2017 season.

Or you could just post the Twitter rumor that MLB is going to invoke the 'Best Interests of the Game' clause to force the team to give up the logo.

My source isnt a Twitter rumor.

We all know this is about an exit. The questions are only how will it be done and when? I'd imagine before the 2019 all-star game, if it's not going to be removing the chief like a band-aid in the coming days/weeks. If they're done with it after 2018, mark this creative....

So what? Point is this isn't anything secret, it has been on Twitter for hours that MLB is going to do this. Could have just posted it.

You can feel free to post it, too!

To use your figure of speech, they've slowly been pulling on this band-aid for years and there really isn't a whole lot left to pull off. I imagine we have seen the last of the chief on the uniform.

Just bumping the thread because you'll find out the full details this afternoon from a non-media source.

Top line, you won't see the Chief on the field. You may still be able to purchase gear, for the time being.

Why didn't I get my creative rating @AZ_ ?

Yes, you're right. I was more thinking as a moving forward, rather than where we already are in that band-aid rip.

Hope that revenue bump the Indians are sure to see in merchandise this year goes into free agency next summer.

I would rather they use it to redo the OF upper deck like they were originally going to do it.
