The term "Cleveland Browns" can refer to a few different things:

• Cleveland Browns Football Team: The Cleveland Browns are a professional American football team based in Cleveland. Named after original coach and co-founder Paul Brown, they compete in the National Football League (NFL) as a member club of the American Football Conference (AFC) North division. The Browns play their home games at Cleveland Browns Stadium, which opened in 1999, with administrative offices and training facilities in Berea, Ohio.

• Cleveland Brown: Cleveland Orenthal Brown Sr. is a fictional character from the animated television series Family Guy, and its spin-off series The Cleveland Show.

• Brownie the Elf: Brownie the Elf is the mascot of the Cleveland Browns football team. The team was named after its first coach, Paul E. Brown, and the name "Browns" was suggested by team owner Mickey McBride in honor of Brown. The name was initially vetoed by Brown himself, but he eventually relented. The team was not named after boxer Joe Louis, despite some early references to this story by Coach Brown.
