Kansas City Chiefs

Known as the Indians since 1915, Cleveland’s Major League Baseball team will next be called the Guardians. The ballclub announced the name change last month with a video on Twitter narrated by actor Tom Hanks, capping months of internal discussions sparked by a national call for clubs to permanently drop names and logos considered racist. Cleveland’s new name was inspired by the large landmark stone edifices — known as traffic guardians — which flank both ends of the Hope Memorial Bridge, in Cleveland. The name change will become effective at the end of the 2021 season.

The Answer: The correct answer is Cleveland Indians.
