Not the only team named after a person

It says, "[the Browns] are the only team named after a person." That's not true: the Buffalo Bills are named after Buffalo Bill (aren't they?). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thegoldenconciseencyclopediaofmammals (talk • contribs) 05:21, 27 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have reliable source for this? 107.0.17.203 (talk) 13:40, 28 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Adding the line "Named after original coach and co-founder Paul Brown"

Who added that part in the article? Cause I don't rememberseeing that before. The King Gemini (talk) 01:40, 11 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Logo part 3

Just like last year for the center field design and the 75th anniversary logo in 2021, this new logo is not the primary logo. The Browns specifically refer to it as the "dawg logo". It's a secondary logo on par with the Brownie elf logos. There has been no announcement that this is the new primary logo and the infobox space is for the primary logo. The orange helmet is still the primary logo and should be labeled as such in the infobox. --17:09, 13 June 2023 (UTC) JonRidinger (talk) 17:09, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

In the history section, change the following sentence:

   The Browns have only posted three winning seasons and two playoff appearances (2002, 2020) since returning to the NFL.

to the following:

   The Browns have only posted four winning seasons and three playoff appearances (2002, 2020, [[1]]) since returning to the NFL. Crepuscul1 (talk) 22:05, 18 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question: Are you asking for a wikilink to the page in the ref tag to be added? Shadow311 (talk) 22:07, 18 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. M.Bitton (talk) 01:06, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done: the Cleveland Browns made it to the playoffs this year, and Crepuscul1 wants the data in the history section to reflect that, like it already has in the lead section and infobox. I've also added a citation as a reference. Left guide (talk) 06:57, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Helmets (current uniform)

Team just changed to white face masks permanantly. 2600:8806:910F:B300:6D14:C012:5969:9CC0 (talk) 03:37, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

https://www.clevelandbrowns.com/fans/white-facemask

both "Logos" and "Uniforms" should be edited to reflect this; facemask details are pretty thin throughout the article METTAZASHI (talk) 16:10, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
