Indians/Guardians and the Topps History Police

I haven't collected Topps' new releases in a number of years, but I am now going through some to see what's out there.

Sorry if I'm late to the party on this one, but in doing so, I learned that where a player played for Cleveland in prior years on their 2022 cards, the team name on the back is ID'd as "Cleveland" - will it stay "Cleveland" on their 2023 release, or will it read Guardians?

I will say that I have absolutely no issue with the team changing its name, and I can certainly see where it was probably overdue (putting aside the quality, or lack thereof, of the new name and logo). Full stop.

But, this attempt to change history is insidious. Right or wrong, from 1915 through 2021, the Cleveland MLB club was called the Indians. Probably best that Topps didn't get renewed. Of course, the new kids on the block will probably be just as bad.

Terrible.
