Cleveland with a different color
-
For about a day, when the Browns moved to Baltimore, they were the Baltimore Browns. OK, that never actually happened, even for a day...except in the fantasy of Modell and the Mayor of Baltimore.
What if it stayed that way? You KNOW Cleveland would've gotten a football team fairly soon because, heck, it was one of the football meccas. With a loyal fan base.
What would ya want to be called?
IF, IF, IF that would have happened, the betting favorite was The Bulldogs. (the name of the previous Canton/Cleveland team that was here and won NFL titles)
My favorite name is the Blues. The St. Louis Blues was my favorite song that the accordion band I was in when I was a kid played. (last week I finally bought a Gibson Les Paul)
I'm sure Clevelanders are sick of the 'name' thing....with the Indians changing their name and all. Which, by the way, I think is stupid. What's wrong with the name Indians? - But that's just me.
It is offensive to Native Americans, apparently. Of course, under one theory of how the Browns got their name, i.e. Paul Brown's original story...the Browns were in fact named for Brown people, that is, Joe the Brown, i.e. African-American, Bomber, Louis. Of course, the whole "named after Joe Louis" thing was a facade....window dressing to basically hide the fact that the team was named after Paul Brown. Had he really wanted to name it after Joe Louis he could have called them The Bombers......which may not be a bad alternative name IMO. (except there again, we could run into political correctness in not wanting to name a team after a weapon or something that was an indices of violence....like the Washington Bullets having changed their name.)
OK, that never actually happened, even for a day...except in the fantasy of Modell and the Mayor of Baltimore.
....and every person that I encountered on, The Day After....

Perhaps, yes, every person you encountered suffered from the same delusional fantasy. Again...it was only a proposal that was announced. "we propose to move the Browns" "we propose to call them the Baltimore Browns". Proposals don't necessarily happen.
E.g. how many times had it been proposed that a dome stadium was to be built in Cleveland? Several. None of them, like the proposal to move the Browns to Baltimore and keep the name, ever came through.

Speaking of Proposals, have you all seen the proposal for the development around the stadium:
I do NOT think they should build those buildings that seem to dwarf the Rock N Roll HOF. I don't think that part would be approved.

They should put a 300 foot statue of this guy out there in Voinivich Park:

What no sunfish or lake Erie perch ? Maybe......
Bonneville cutthroats are descended from Cutthroat Trout that once inhabited the Late Pleistocene-aged Lake Bonneville of Utah, eastern Nevada, and southern Idaho. Since the desiccation of Lake Bonneville into the Great Salt Lake, which is too salty for any life other than brine shrimp,
