The Cleveland Indians have officially unveiled their new team name: the Cleveland Guardians.
The team made the announcement Friday morning, with a promotional video narrated by actor Tom Hanks. The new name is inspired by the ‘Guardians of Traffic’ sculptures that line the city’s Hope Memorial Bridge.
It was chosen from a list of more than 1,200 potential names. The team announced back in December that it would change its name after this season.
They will officially become the Guardians next year.
