Cleveland naming the team the Guardians is a name that was off the radar for them. The Spiders and Blues has been thrown around for the last year and they picked a name off the radar, my hope is that is what happens here.

I don’t really care if it is symbolic of the city. Chicago Bears is pretty iconic no?
I just want it to sound cool, and i want to hear howling everytime we get a first down. I swear if they are the Washington monuments or senators im done. Lol.

What does Redwings have to do with Detroit? Nothing. Iconic though.

Exactly. And Redskins had nothing to do with the city, it was iconic because it was iconic. Sports teams use animals to represent the ferocity and the mentality of the sports team. Wolves is so natural to football, I just don't get the disdain and angst over it at all.

1. Redwings have the wheel spoke theme to their insignia

2. The first man brave enough to earn his redwings was from Detroit.

Wasn't "Redwings" the name of the bicycle club that the founder belonged to? If I remember it correctly.
