The Cleveland Browns team was founded in 1946 when it was owned by Arthur McBride, the Browns thought about using the word Panthers as the team’s name. As there was already a team with the same name, they decided to name it the Browns after their coach Paul Brown. Their first head coach Paul Brown didn’t agree that the team would be called like him, but at the end he accepted the grand honor. Now the Browns belong to the AFC north division in the NFL.
The Browns join to the NFL
The team performance in the AAFC was not good, then in the year of 1950 the Browns joined to the NFL. During the six first seasons in the NFL, the Cleveland Browns won the league 3 times, and nine years later in 1964 the team won once more and this has been their last league title till date.
The Cleveland Brown have never won a Super Bowl, even so, the team has won 3 divisions championships in the NFL and six as part of the American Football Conference.
