Cleveland Guardians Logo - Official Team Branding & History #3479941 (License: Personal Use)

This image displays the former Cleveland Indians logo, used from 1973 through 2021, characterized by its distinctive red cursive “Indians” lettering with a navy blue outline and swoosh underline. The trademark symbol (™) appears at the upper right, indicating registered branding. The design was central to the team’s identity for nearly five decades before the organization changed its name to the Guardians in response to longstanding concerns over Native American imagery.

This logo is commonly used in historical retrospectives, sports journalism, fan memorabilia discussions, and museum exhibits covering MLB team evolution. It serves users seeking context on the franchise’s branding history or researching the transition to the Guardians name.
