Original team was named thew Browns... Around the turn of the last century, the uniforms were changed, leading to a new nickname...

The following passage is "pasted" from The Cardinals website. I take credit for none of the work--its all from their own mouths.

"The Robison Brothers, Frank and Stanley, discarded the name of Browns, calling the St. Louis National Leaguers the Perfectos. The ownership also discarded the old Sportsman's Park name in favor of League Park. The team was outfitted in red striped stockings and red-trimmed uniforms. When sportswriter Willie McHale, of the St. Louis Republic, heard a lady fan remark, "What a lovely shade of cardinal," the new nickname was used in his column, and struck a chord with St. Louis fans.

The team officially changed its name from the Perfectos to the Cardinals in 1900. "

They were briefly called the Perfectos in 1899 before settling on their present name, a name reportedly inspired by switching their uniform colors from brown to red. There was already a "Reds" team at Cincinnati, so the St. Louis team became "Cardinals"
