Nobody knows for certain how the Elf Brownie came to be the first mascot of the Cleveland Browns. The elf was put on the shelf by Art Modell after he bought the team. Modell told reporters at the time that he would be getting rid of that little f---er. Brownie is larger than before. Brownie returned as the team's logo after topping a preseason online fan vote. The latest caricature of Brownie spans the 45 yard lines horizontally, exceeds the hashmarks vertically, and can be easily seen from the sky. The @Browns' new midfield logo will be Brownie the Elf. pic.twitter.com/C5W0bz3UD8 You're not alone if you're confused about Brownie's role as an NFL mascot. "I'm not sure what to think about it," said Cleveland pass-rusher. It is unique. I like the dog a lot. Is it possible that we've got an elf? We're a little confused about what we want to do. Brownie's grandiloquent debut was ruined by one of the most inexplicable losses in franchise history. The Cleveland team blew a 13 point lead in the final two minutes. The New York Jets scored a 66-yard touchdown, recovered an onside kick, and then scored a second touchdown to stun the Cleveland Indians. More than 5% of voters blame Brownie for the defeat in a fan poll. Heading into Thursday night's clash with Pittsburgh, Cleveland's logo may be 0-1. Prime video. Brownie was the boyish face of the most dominant dynasty. He almost became the helmet's logo. The legend of the brownies started in Britain around the early 16th century. The first mention of the Brownies came in 1522. The mythical creature is a small, hairy creature that lives in houses and farms with people. He takes a range of domestic and agricultural chores in order to get free board and lodging from the humans. As Brownie The Elf re-debuts onto the field for @Browns home games, we look back at the first time Brownie debuted. It was the day the Browns played the first game in team history. pic.twitter.com/5l9UaOhcDT
Brownies can be difficult to please.
Milk and bread are left out for Brownies at night. They don't like being spied on while they work or eat. They don't like either compliment or criticism.
Any gift of clothes makes him angry. It's seen as an insult or something. He will ruin the house, then leave forever.

Brown relented on the name of the group.
The team needs a logo.
Barry Shuck has been researching the origin of the Brownie the Elf for years. Is thatMud? There is a dessert. Do you know if the dog poops?
Is it possible that Brown came up with the idea for Brownie the Elf? Is it possible that Small produced the drawing?
Shuck said that Obie and Brownie are the same character. Both of them are running." They both had a hard time with their arms. Both of them are wearing hats.
The Cleveland-area newspapers didn't mention Brownie until he appeared in an ad promoting ticket sales days before the first game of the Cleveland Brown's inaugural season.
Steve King has been researching the conception of Brownie the Elf for many years. He asked Mike Brown if he knew where Brown came from.

Murphy told King that he had a secret to show him.
King said that the man brought out the helmet. The Elf on the side has a helmet on.
Murphy passed away in the year. It's a mystery as to what happened to his helmet.
