<![CDATA[Team color vs team name sake]]>The Cleveland Browns were based on their long time coach Paul Brown. The team color of brown also was connected to the coach. Paul Brown left the Browns team and created a new team in Cincinnati. Decades have passed and the Paul Brown family has no connection to the team in Cleveland. Could the new ownership of the team have the right to change the team name if they wanted, an keep the team colors of brown, orange and white?

If the team name BROWNS were to be changed, what name would you come up with? THE CLEVELAND _______ ???

Keeping with our infamous endzone fan section the DAWG POUND, Would the Cleveland Canines be appropriate ??

No reason why not except positional prejudice. No one thought much of white receivers for a while but the patriots seem to be doing ok with them.

There were at least white recievers who excelled well before what the patriots are doing (blitnikoff, clark,collinsworth etc) . Cornerback not so much ? Do you really think a coach wouldn't play a guy who can actually COVER a guy.]]>https://brownsboard.com/post/558838https://brownsboard.com/post/558838Mon, 14 Dec 2015 14:39:03 GMT<![CDATA[Reply to Team color vs team name sake on Sat, 12 Dec 2015 20:24:37 GMT]]>

As long as he's 6'2 and can be a shutdown corner, i don't care what color he is

We have a bar called the Clevelander here, though it doesn't look as cool as the south beach variant.

Very interesting. Totally off the point, but this phrase got me to thinking, "I've seen some reports argue that Brown was not a fan of the team being named after a failed franchise anyways..." .

I have noticed that many of you from Ohio use that word "anyways" kind of like we use the word "ya'll" down here. Technically it is a word recognized here http://grammarist.com/usage/anyways/ , but is considered more informal than "anyway". Now I have heard that word used a lot with the Neaderthal descendants who inhabit deep east Texas, so it's not like it isn't used here.

Anyways I was wondering if ya'll are somehow related. 😛

So if this were true we'd have teams dubiously named poorly as two different minorities. No wonder we can't win.

That is correct.......We would have the Native Americans and the African Americans

And Cavaliers were English soldiers in service to the King. Not sure how they fit in there.

The Cleveland Browns are one of the top 5 oldest NFL teams in the league. Starting back in 1946.

Actually, all of the following teams are older than the Browns: Bears/Cardinals/Rams/Lions/Giants/Eagles/Redskins/Steelers/Packers. 49ers are the same age.

This team has had many championships, and playoff wins. Many successful seasons, and many forgettable seasons. This season adds to that losing column. With a fairly new ownership, its time for a major overhaul with the teams historic existence . First, is get rid of the old ways and bring in a fresh new program. The new ownership made a big move by giving this team a completely new looking uniform, and it does look nice. My only dislike of the uniform is the orange numbers on the brown, and white jerseys. The brown jersey should have white numbers, and the white jersey should have brown numbers.

I wish they would go back to the traditional uniforms. They were much better looking than this mess.

Also, perhaps a change in the teams name. Keeping the team colors and historic records, but maybe let go the team name BROWNS, and perhaps change it to a nick-name like all the other team names.

If a name change was to take place, I would keep the endzone fan section, our famous Dawgpound name remains, but with that following, change our team name to the Cleveland Canines.

No, no need for a change of name. They just need to be operated better and play better. We had this discussion elsewhere....If a team that is bad do you change its name when it starts to play good? No, that would be absurd.

Beat me to it on NFL history Gip.

As to a name change, too late for that, been the "Browns" since 1946. Now if you want to start another (and more interesting discussion) we can bitch why the Bidwells didn't change the franchise name "Cardinals" into something more apropo to Arizona- like the Rattlers or Scorpions. (Yeah, I know Cardinals is the oldest NFL name, but that should have been left behind in Chicago or certainly St Louis. Arizona Cardinals is even dumber than the Utah Jazz- Pioneers would have been far better. Just my 0.02 🙂
