And don't forget, the new kids on the block are also partially owned by MLB, who was party to and at least partially behind the push to see the name change in the first place.
So, wouldn't leaving the Indians name on cards going forward then make MLB look a bit hypocritical? Or how about when creating any heritage, throw-back or other type cards showing old, retired players, are they going to automatically scrub and remove old Cleveland player photos used to then airbrush out the Indians name on uniforms, or the Chief Wahoo images? Great question, and will be interesting to see what they end up doing.
And you can probably pose the same question in regard to future football cards of the Washington players.
