Well me and my friends got in a 30 minute discussion about Football team names. First 10 minutes where about alot of teams then the BROWNS came up. My friend said "If your to damn lazy to pick a team name go with a color!." Thats exactly what the Browns did. They were thinking into the future to. They though if they were going to be a shitty team then why not pick a color to represent them. Brown as in the color of shit. The Cleveland Browns were born when one more craped on a helmet and made the Helemt design. That is basicaly the Desgin of the Helemet.The Cleveland Shittheads where born!
Actually, if you want to know the REAL reason the Browns are the Browns...here's a bit of NFL trivia for you: The Cleveland Browns were founded in 1946 under owner Arthur 'Mickey' McBride. At first, a fan contest was conducted to determine the name of the team, with the most popular choice being "Browns" after its first head coach, Paul Brown. Brown was uncomfortable with the idea of having the team named after him, and "Panthers" was then selected. However, a semi-pro team was using that name and threatened to sue if the AAFC club used it as well. Thus, Paul Brown reluctantly agreed to use the "Browns" name, but stated publicly that the new team was named after boxing champion Joe Louis who was known as the "Brown Bomber."
thats actually a pretty cool fact, but yea i always wondered why the color of the Browns helmet is orange.
