I'm pretty sure the Browns is short for Brownies, which is the fairy that is in many of the team's early logos.
In fact some of their early name logos do say Brownies instead of Browns.

Utah Jazz. Needs to be given to New Orleans to replace the awful Pelicans and then Utah can come up with something more appropriate. Utah boring? Utah out of touch? Utah sand? Utah Polygamists! |

Montreal Expos, Toronto Maple Leafs, Ottawa Senators (not very intimidating,) San Jose Sharks (who ever heard of a shark that would survive such conditions as on a rink?). There are too many to mention. Yes, because surely a Marlin would excel on a baseball field. They're just animal-inspired team names. Who cares? You're really nitpicking here. Also, the Maple Leafs are named after a Canadian army unit in WWI. They're not named after actual maple leaves. The name Senators has historical meaning in the city of Ottawa. Sorry to just pick on you, but it seems a lot of people need to do some research before they start naming teams left and right. It's the internet, I'm used to it. Opinions matter here more than irl I guess. Although I would not consider it nitpicking, they were the first 3 I could think of and it doesn't go beyond that. I did expect there to be a historical meaning, of course. For instance I also know the Expos were named after the Montreal Expo of '67, it still doesn't make it a good sports team name. Apparently you care more than I do. I'm not picking on you either, I'm just replying and filling in a bit more of what I never said and probably should have. Honestly I don't care if they called themselves the Bushwhackers or Buttmunches or whatever, it would still be a lame sports team name imho. It's all just opinions, man. |

Houston Texans. What a vague name. Does Bud Adams still own the "Oilers" name? If not, Bob McNair should have called them that. Man, I loved the Oilers' uniforms. |

Houston Astronauts would have sounded cooler.

I always thought the name Columbus Blue Jackets was and still is pretty stupid. It all as to do with the Civil War. From the start a vast majority of the general public was confused because of Stinger, the teams mascot, being a bug that sort of looks like a Yellow Jacket. The early jerseys didn't help much either. In 07/08 the team added a cannon as part of the goal/win celebration and changed in jersey/logo to something much less stupid. |

Bristol Shoguns (Rugby Union) always annoyed me, since it was done on advertising alone. Once Mitsubishi Motors pulled out, they had to remove the name. Never stuck and always misfitting for the club itself

Utah Jazz. Needs to be given to New Orleans to replace the awful Pelicans and then Utah can come up with something more appropriate. Utah boring? Utah out of touch? Utah sand? Utah has some amazing parks and canyons. As somebody who expected to be bored by Utah, i had a great time at places like Bryce Canyon. Maybe the Utah Canyons...or maybe, Kanyon's? |

The only good thing is that this logo wasn't the primary but it's still terrible for a pro hockey team.  |

 It's 2013, for God's sake. Change the name and logo already. The name is okay but the logo is awful. |

Tampa needs to get the "devil" back. Devil Rays just sounds so much cooler They also sucked big time when they were the Devil Rays, so it's understandable why they wouldn't want to go back to that. |
