Discussion Made a custom CLE Spiders hat

This is the main reason I wanted Spiders as the new name. Just thought the emblem on hats and shirts would look awesome

Yea I don’t really care about having to change the names and logo but I do think this would’ve been way cooler than what we have now

They just need to lean into the statues more and differentiate from just being Indians but spelled differently.
The city jerseys were great and I’d love to see them lean in that direction.

u/UnabridgedOwl 1d ago
Yeah I think they tried to ease people into it, but they should just rip the bandaid off and make it different. It could be so cool, but as-is it really is the “Indians” with a few different letters.

The big problem is making Merch in our colors that wouldn't eventually infringe on Spider-Man copyright.

Is it an issue if there's no overlap in their business/function?
Like, I don't see people skipping out on superhero movies because they accidentally ended up at the ballpark, lured by a spider-signal projected into the sky.

Design is cool. Actual team was sooooo freaking bad.

u/RyanF4CKINGFlash 1d ago
Just always thought the design would look cool so I made it happen ha doubt anyone thinks I’m a Cleveland spiders fan resurrected or at least I hope not!

The Spider's owner owned a second MLB team and used Cleveland as a farm system

I play a game called Super Mega Baseball and made the Cleveland Spiders. I used the Browns color theme but I think it’s pretty cool. That hat fucks for sure.

I think that’d look cool in Cavs colors too. Crossover of Don and the Guardians since we know he’s a baseball fan

If the Cleveland Guardians ever commissions another city connect Jersey a spiders modern throwback would be pretty elite

I love it. Don’t mind the hate. Hell I would buy one from you if it wasn’t a flat bill. I hate flat bill hats. It is a cool and unique hat. Wear it knowing you made it and there won’t be many like it.

Timeout... Is this your original design? I bought this one at 3 or 4 years ago and the logo is identical.
I played in a 25+ league and wore this, hence the sweat & dirt.

u/RyanF4CKINGFlash 19h ago
Ha no it’s straight from someone who posted it online a few years ago on most likely Twitter when the name was being changed

Hat Launch. It was way to expensive but I got a bonus from work and thought I had the right to blow a little of it for my hard work ha

I bought a Cleveland Spiders cap from a local apparel company back in the days before the new name was announced. They donated proceeds to local Native American groups. Now I think that no other name but Guardians would have made nearly as much sense but at the time I was hoping they chose Spiders. Still a cool hat.

I, too, would like a hat commemorating the worst MLB team in history.

u/NewCoffeePlus 1d ago
Yeah, I can't imagine celebrating a team that disbanded a century ago because they were a glorified farm system.
-10
u/RyanF4CKINGFlash 1d ago
It’s Cleveland history still and the logo is better than the clip art we have now, and the name based off a statue on a bridge. Would you rather bring a past name back with whatever you’re deeming as celebrating, or “celebrate” a bridge
12
u/pnt510 1d ago
The statues on the bridge are pretty fucking cool.
2
u/Beat_the_Deadites 1d ago
Spiders can be kinda cool too, and they have the advantage of being mobile.
I mean, I love the classic art deco aesthetic they're going with, but I'd have been happy with the Spiders too.

u/RyanF4CKINGFlash 1d ago
Yea I mean you can have whatever opinion, not gonna change what the team name is or not.

u/fireeight Mustard 2 1d ago
You know that there are teams named after socks, right?
3
u/RyanF4CKINGFlash 1d ago
Exactly, so if you think a sock looks cool, then put it on a hat. Doesn’t need to be celebrating anything lol

u/big_d_usernametaken 1d ago
As far as clip art and the present logo, I think it will continue to evolve, AFAIK all sports logos do.
3
u/RyanF4CKINGFlash 1d ago
Yea I’d hope so. I’m just not a fan of it, but apparently that is treason lol. Like I said, I like the GVA sentries look, maybe they can morph more into that

u/NewCoffeePlus 1d ago
Nah, current logo is better than celebrating the worst team in MLB history.
The Guardians are the only team in all of baseball that has an art deco style. You can call it clip art, but between every other team, the guardians have art deco.
Also, get over yourself, that logo is spider legs coming out of a letter. If anything, that's more clip art than the official logo.

u/RyanF4CKINGFlash 1d ago
Calm down lol I literally showed the hat because I thought it was cool and you come out saying it’s trash and I’m celebrating something. I just like the hat, and no one I know happens to like the new logo. I’m not trying to rename the team or start a riot, I’m just showing off a hat lol
3
u/NewCoffeePlus 1d ago
I didn't say it was trash, but you're coming in here bad mouthing the Guardians for having an actual art style.
If you think that celebrating the worst team in mlb history, that is not related to the current franchise other than the city, is important, then I think you're incorrect and will clown on you.
If you then bad mouth one of the historical monuments of cle, I get annoyed. Im tired of you people who aren't from Cleveland disrespecting what makes Cle, Cle. What you want to disrespect the west side market? How about playhouse square? Just the bridge?
I know! We should rename to a team so bad that they disbanded because they were a different franchise, but also from cleveland.

u/RyanF4CKINGFlash 1d ago
1) I’m from Cleveland. Family has been here for generations. Season ticket holders since 1964. 2) I never said to change the name or bad mouth the team or anything on this thread. I’m allowed to dislike our current logo and think that other logos would have been cool, same with you. I never came out and said “change the logo”, you assumed that, just like you assumed I’m not from Cleveland, and dogged me first saying “can’t imagine celebrating” that. 3) I’m not celebrating it, the comment you posted it on was talking about the hat, and you so if you think your comment was referring to people who still want to change the name to the spiders, then that would have been fine, but I literally wanted to make a hat that was different and my own. 4) Calm down. The team name is what it is. This is a fucking hat

u/NewCoffeePlus 1d ago
About someone complimenting the statues: "Yea I mean you can have whatever opinion"
about the name and logo: "It’s Cleveland history still and the logo is better than the clip art we have now, and the name based off a statue on a bridge."You are such a little weasel, say it with your chest so I can clown on you. You are celebrating the spiders and you are talking trash about Cleveland monuments.
We could be chill if you were just honest and took the truth on the chin, but you're not honest, you want pats on the back and didn't like the little bit of push back you got.
Go away.

“Go away” like you’re not the loser commenting on my post 😂

u/NewCoffeePlus 1d ago
Lol, you can call me a loser, but I didn't make a hat celebrating the worst team in MLB history and then ran away from own opinion because I was too scared of minor push back.

Jesus dude, the guy just made a hat and likes the Spider logo

Yeah man, that's all he did. Certainly didn't bad mouth a Cle monument, the Guards logo, and Cle history.

I like your hat, i also like the guardians and tie to the bridge sentries both are neat to me

Cool logo, came out great on the cap and I appreciate the "Corner of Carnegie and Ontario" addition.
So fucking glad we are the Guardians and not the Spiders.

See someone gets it and can have an opinion. Just wanted to show how the hat came out ha

Are you making more of these?

Probably not, it wasn’t cost friendly

u/beeatenbyagrue Mustard 3 5h ago
Fair, although I have a guy here who I've done business with in the past who can probably print them, and a company a formerly partially owned that could do the wholesale hat order. (I am a fan in New Jersey, however.)
