I always liked the elf.  The gay looking dressed up on the field needs work .

The elf is an awesome logo, glad it is coming coming back. They got rid of the gay one on the field, glad about that too.

Absolutely awful for a professional tackle football team.

.......besides I thought the Girl Scouts had that locked up.

Art Modell hated the elf. Go figure.

I like it.  IMO, it's always been associated with us.

I grew up with the Elf, was 4 years old when updated to this... in 1950, but I prefer THIS Elf...

which is what they have used for TC & hope they stick with. I have a feeling (hopefully a correct feeling) that they are bringing back the looks of when we were a WINNER! Let's bring back the winning LOOK, winning LOGO, & winning TRADITION!! the time is NOW!!

What's everyone's thoughts on the Dawg Pound and dawg-related logos for the Browns?

Ingrained now into Browns lore or something that is dated and needs to be moved on from?

I don't mind the elf but would be very unhappy to abandon the Dawg pound branding.

The east end zone should forever be "The Dawg Pound" in my opinion. Sitting there, or having sat there is an honor for the most rabid Fans. The last time I sat in the Pound was with my then 5 year old Grandson, Michael. We beat Cinci that day. He goes to at least 1 game a year with me, but nothing beats the fun he had with the Dawg Pound crowd.

Dawg related logos? They're ok but I don't care for this...  .  I would rather see a growling mastiff face wearing a Browns' helmet.

Just my thoughts.

The dawg thing was Dixon & Minnifield.      The elf is the Browns.

I love dogs....though dogs are not Browns.   But that's just me.

F Art, Elf told Art he would be back!

      but for the love of all that is browns, no more of these!

  sorry mjp28,butt no wonder we have no cheerleaders.

  The power of the Elf shall rise this sunken treasure..(bottles of Captain Morgan as back up, just in case)

I agree. The Dawgs were created by Dixon & Minnifield as a nickname for the D, much like the old Orange Crush in Denver, Doomsday D in Dallas, Fearsome Foursome in LA, etc. The difference is that the Dawg Pound is a location that has been there since the mid 1980s. Younger Fans (35 & under) have basically grown up with that & the Dawg Pound is one of THEIR traditions. The Elf is traditional for us old folks. I see nothing wrong with keeping both although the Elf is the MAIN ONE!

Was this the season we beat Buffalo next on TNF? If so, sister & I was right above you.On a gorgeous football weather day. Went back thursday to sit with season ticket holders in Dawgpound with Bills. Thought Weeden's bomb to Gordon was targeted for me when in the air..Great week trip, left town in 1st place. Let's do it again..

I'm fine with keeping the dog pound. I always thought that little guy with the pointed ears was a Brownie, another mythological Woodland Sprite, rather than an elf. Not particularly choked up by the modernized dog face but dogs also Harkens back to the seminal, or at least one of them, football team the Canton Bulldogs.

And I Brownie. Just don't put it on the fukkin helmet.

In looking back, Michael was only 4, year was 2010 & we were sitting in row 9 of the Dawg Pound. all he wanted to eat was an order of nachos, took a "mini tour" at halftime. when it started raining, he zipped his jacket, put his hood up & kept watching the game, Browns beat Bengals. He has been a rabid Browns' Fan ever since.

I was at both those games too, with a bunch of guys I met on here.

That was my favorite moment since 2007, winning those two games at home, and I was there for both. I think we beat the Vikings(?) previously on the road and we were actually on a 3 game winning streak and then Hoyer went down in the Bungle game and Weeds took over and the rest was history. But that was a fun week to be a Browns fan.

The little wr we had that went to SD scored a punt return against the Bills that changed that game. Can't remember his name right now ... early onset?

Most ridiculous football logos of all time......
