Cleveland Browns Franchise Information


Franchise History:
1999-present Cleveland Browns (NFL)
1950-1995 Cleveland Browns (NFL)
1946-1949 Cleveland Browns (AAFC)

The Cleveland All-America Football Conference franchise conducted a fan contest in 1945 to name the team. The most popular submission was “Browns” in recognition of the team’s first coach and general manager Paul Brown, who was already a popular figure in Ohio sports. Brown at first vetoed the choice and the team selected from the contest entries the name “Panthers.” However, after an area businessman informed the team that he owned the rights to the name Cleveland Panthers, from an earlier failed football team, Brown rescinded his objection and agreed to the use of his name.
