1:35Now PlayingMajor League Baseball’s Cleveland Indians will be known as the Cleveland Guardians beginning in 2022, after saying last year that the team would review the name it’s had for more than a century.
The team announced the name change in a video posted Friday morning. It also has a new logo: a winged baseball adorned with the letter G.
The franchise in December said it would talk with stakeholders and the community to determine whether it would change the name. A year before, it stopped using the Chief Wahoo mascot, a Native American caricature, after longstanding criticism.
In the video, narrated by Tom Hanks, the team nodded to its history and called for unity.
“And now it’s time to unite as one family, one community, to build the next era for this team and this city,” the actor says.
