Cleveland's Major League Baseball team has hit a speed bump as it prepares to rebrand with a new nickname.
Per TMZ Sports, the Cleveland Guardians roller derby team has filed a lawsuit this week against the MLB club to block it from using the nickname.
The lawsuit alleges the MLB team "surreptitiously" filed for the Guardians trademark "in the small, East African island nation of Mauritius, effectively hiding the application unless one knew where to look."
TMZ noted that Guardians derby team owner Gary Sweatt said at one point the MLB team did reach out to make a deal about the name, but the offer was "a nominal amount, likely no more than fifteen minutes of annual team revenue.
