I've worked in marketing for more than sixteen years, with graphic design being a significant component of my portfolio. Imagine how I felt looking at the misalignment.
This was a design that was floated last year by some guy and I like it much better:
After Chief Wahoo, they probably wanted to stay away from any iconography that includes human-similar mascots.
You're most likely not wrong, but they still could have done better than that abomination of a logo that looks like something a high school intern sketched out.
I have no idea what the blue lines are supposed to be or represent.
Generally speaking, the lines in a design should be congruent. In the Guardians logo as-designed, they're all over the place and nothing matches up. It's incredibly shoddy and looks like a rush job.
Everything thing should line up, The line along the back of the "front" "G" should line up directly with the back of "far" "G", but they don't. Same with all of the lines on the G, the wings, and everything else. It should all line up and be parallel. They're not.
I mean, it ties in with the city's history (and the statues on the bridge are pretty badass, I remember them when I traveled across Ohio a few years back ... wait, sweet Jesus, that was eight years ago, I'm old). My only gripe is that the logo is incredibly half-assed from a design perspective, none of the lines are in alignment. It's breaking several fundamental rules of graphic design:

A friend of mine said that the new Guardians logo reminds her of the old After Dark "flying toasters" screensaver, and now I can't unsee it. 
At least it's a better name than "Climate Pledge Arena." And there are at least two tie-ins I could think of that might be fun...
The Cleveland Guardians of the Galaxy and the Cleveland Sailor Guardians.
The Cleveland Guardians of the Galaxy and the Cleveland Sailor Guardians.
They could always name the team after a small stone. Then they'd be...the Cleveland Rocks.
I still have my "CRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUZ" Orioles T-shirt from the year he absolutely mashed in Baltimore.
's or Da Bums?
Phillies are interested in any relievers. Their relief staff sucks.
