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.

I don't collect football, but I had that same thought - any football collectors reading this? What do cards use as the team name prior to the Washington Football Club?
