The Cleveland Guardians roller derby team and the Cleveland Major League Baseball team jointly announced the settlement of a lawsuit over the organization's new name on Tuesday.
In late October, the roller derby team sued the baseball team alleging they knew the Guardians roller derby team existed "months before announcing the name change."
“The Cleveland Guardians Baseball Company, LLC and Guardians Roller Derby are pleased to announce an amicable resolution of the lawsuit filed by Guardians Roller Derby, whereby both organizations will continue to use the Guardians name," the announcement read.
In July, Cleveland's baseball team selected Guardians as its new name beginning in 2022, culminating a project that saw nearly 1,200 potential choices to replace the franchise's previous moniker.
