"Brown" represents hard work, dedication, integrity, discipline, innovation and all else that embodied the great coach Paul Brown.
I for one think it is a perfect name. It's not a gimmick, and it's not ment to be pretty or appeal to the masses. I think most of the NFL names are childish/silly to begin with. Same names you'd find representing your local middle school leagues. The name "Browns" stands out from the pack because its different, unique and i for one think, great.
When you think of "brown" think of football, plain and simple football.

Back in the 50's, as well as used by the St. Louis Browns (until 1954) in baseball, the mascot on some football cards I once had was kind of an elf or pixie or like a leprechaun kinda sorta in a brown suit instead of green.
Otherwise for other readers, the Browns were named after owner-coach Paul Brown. I guess if his name was Sanchez, the team would have been the Cleveland Sanchezes? That is not supposed to be a joke, but a lot of people think the team was named for the color. The baseball team in St. Louis was named because they wore brown socks, as in like the Red Sox and the White Sox nowadays.

Back in the day, their mascot was an elf looking thing.
The name was given by Paul Brown, the teams founder. He just named them after himself.

They used to have a pixie as the mascot 50 and 60s also the dog or dawg pound. so some type of mutt is one of the mascots.

It's a colour, similiar to the Varsity Blues. Nothing fancy, it is what it is.
