The Browns set up an online poll asking fans to pick the logo they would like the team to have for the 2022 NFL season. Brownie was the winner, and the team used him as their official logo on the FirstEnergy Stadium. They unveiled the new design on Tuesday with a short clip featuring it on Twitter. This is the first time since 2016 that the Browns have a midfield logo! We hope it brings them lots of luck and success in their upcoming matches.
Brownie’s History
Brownie existed way before the Browns came into being. He is part of British folklore that dates back to the 16th century. According to Legend, he is a small, hairy creature living on farms and houses. He can help out in agricultural and domestic chores as long as he gets free lodging from humans. Moreover, this brown elf hates being spied on or given compliments. If you compliment him, he will create a huge mess, and he may even permanently leave!
