Team color vs team name sake
-
Dogs are already part of your brand, plus dogs have too many negatives...butt hole sniffers, toilet water drinkers, vomit eaters, plus they lick their own private parts (now thats talent!).
And instead of calling you the Cleveland Dogs, they'd be calling you the Cleveland Underdogs.
On second thought "dogs" has the same connotation as "underdogs".lol
Cleveland is the Rock & Roll capitol so how about the Cleveland Rocks?
The discussion came up when it was still a question mark about the "Browns" being retained here.
By far the largest consensus on a possible alternate name was "The Cleveland Bulldogs". And it was simply a matter of tradition.
The Canton/Cleveland Bulldogs won the NFL Championship in 1923/1924/1925.
So, the restoration of that traditional name....to me....would have been the only viable option in terms of a team name.
But that didn't happen so we don't have to worry about it......and this team is not going to change its name any more than whatever team you root for will.

Agree 100% cant argue with any of that...just patronizing the thread topic.
I still like the Cleveland Rocks! Hard to visualize a logo though.

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

Cleveland Bulldogs is the only alternative to the Browns imo. I can see why there would be an interest in changing the Browns since the Brown family are Bungals, but it does increase the divisional rivalries somehow. That is definitely a question only you natives can decide on though! How realistic is it in the near future for something like this to happen and is it discussed in the local press?
Loyaultie me Lie. If I hadn't seen such riches I could live with being poor! -

OP ,saying Paul Brown left is a bit deceptive, art modell fired him.

I wouldn't mind the bulldogs. In any case though, no chance a rebrand changes anything in Berea.

The black clouds. It'd be an apt description.
This shit ain't nothing to me, man. -
The Cleveland Clevelands? Someone on this board has an avatar that's a picture of a Browns helmet with Cleveland from Family Guy on it. We can use that.

Keeping the Browns name may be just another way to stick it in Mike Brown's ear.
But perhaps you don't know DD.....the Brown family contends.....perhaps rightly....that the Browns are NOT named after Paul Brown:

I read it as South bLeachers for a second.

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

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.
(Hey you got to laugh now and again during such a miserable season)

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.

I was wondering if your wife was using your account again... almost to the end.
"... you got to..." gave you away.
