MUNI WATCH PART 1
By Phil Hecken, with James Lansdowne and William Weible
Good morning Uni Watchers — hope everyone is staying safe and well, and that those of you who are eligible to get your COVID vaccination have done so.
I’ve got a really special lede for you guys today: A little less than a week ago, Mike Joseph (whose work has appeared on Uni Watch and who actually created the uniform template used below) introduced me to two gentlemen who have created a new visual identity and name for the Cleveland Indians: Cleveland Municipals co-founders Will Weible and Jamie Lansdowne will weigh the options and explain how the Cleveland Indians can “get it right.” It’s part one of two, and today will focus on Jamie and Will’s uniform vision for a redesign of the Cleveland baseball club, who have announced they will be jettisoning the name “Indians” (now expected in time for the 2023 season), and have yet to settle upon a new moniker. It’s quite an in-depth project, so let’s get to it straight away. Enjoy!
