That the Cleveland Browns logo is the team’s helmet is a source of pride for many Browns fans. The simplicity and the legacy of the orange helmet with the oreo stripe down the middle perfectly encapsulate the franchise’s history. It also highlights the difficulty of making a logo for a team called the Browns.
A silhouette of Paul Brown despite the fact he later started the rival Cincinnati Bengals which his family still owns? Probably not. The other two identifiable characters for a logo, the elf and multiple variations of a dog, could be okay but don’t represent the word “Browns” per se.
With the NFL allowing more flexibility with helmets moving forward, some have wondered if Cleveland would add something to their iconic ones. It seems unlikely but rookie WR David Bell had an idea.
