where did the cavs play before the gund arena?
the richfield coliseum
the gunds bought the cleveland cavaliers from ted stepien in 1983 for $20 million, in order to keep the team in cleveland and at richfield coliseum, which the gunds owned. stepien had threatened to move the team to toronto. the gunds replaced the team's logo and uniform design, replacing the "swashbuckling swordsman" with the team's nickname of 'cavs' with a stylized 'v' made of a net and basketball.

coinciding with the move to gund arena in the 1994–95 season, the cavaliers changed logos and uniforms, adding black in addition to the already existing blue, orange and white colors. the uniforms feature a blue splash in the abdomen area in front. from 1994 to 1997 the word 'cavs' on the home uniforms was orange with black line, while the numbers are in black with white line, while 'cleveland' on the road uniforms was also orange with black lines, while the numbers are in white with a black line. from 1997 to 1999 the numbers and lettering were slightly tweaked. the word 'cavs' and the numbers on the home uniforms are in black with orange lines, while the word 'cleveland' and the numbers on the road uniforms are in white with orange lines. in the latter iteration, the blue splash was moved from the right leg to the left leg, surrounding 'cleveland' on the home uniforms and 'cavs' on the road uniforms, with a minor change in striping.
