The Browns just can’t get rid of Brownie the Elf

Brownie returns to the 50 yard line again in 2024

For the third straight season, Brownie the Elf will be on the 50-yard line of Cleveland Browns Stadium after a fan vote. The new dog logo came in second place, with the traditional helmet, now with the white facemask, coming in last place.

I personally thought the helmet with the white facemask looked best, and the popularity of the facemask color change would be the winner of the fan vote. The Browns continue to let fans make decisions with things like that something that you don’t see other teams doing often.

Now that the first preseason game of the year is over, the Browns welcome the Minnesota Vikings to town for a pair of joint practices in Berea. The teams will also square off in Cleveland next Saturday at 4:25 p.m. for their second preseason game, the last one they will have at home before closing the preseason in Seattle on the 24th.

Steve Smith Jr. tells Brownie the Elf to stay off his Jordans

The life of a mascot can be difficult.

He made an appearance on NFL Network Thursday as the Browns played host to the Pittsburgh Steelers and presented former great WR Steve Smith Jr. with a “necklace.”

The only problem for Brownie was keeping his feet off of Smith’s Jordans.

Stepping on them once, maybe. Twice and you get the big-time warning.

Keep your feet off the sweet stuff on my feet … or else.

New Cavs star Donovan Mitchell is down with Brownie the Elf

Cleveland Cavaliers All-Star Donovan Mitchell reps Brownie the Elf in a photo with a fan

The Cleveland Cavaliers recently pulled off a blockbuster trade to acquire All-Star guard Donovan Mitchell from the Utah Jazz. Mitchell hasn’t suited up for the Cavs yet, but the newest Cleveland standout is already ingratiating himself with the local fans.

Mitchell posed for a picture with a fan, and it’s circulating on Twitter. Abby Mueller got a quick pic with Mitchell, who was rocking a sweet white Cavs hoodie. But it’s his choice of headgear that grabbed the attention.

Mitchell was wearing a white Browns hat featuring Brownie the Elf, the team’s mascot. He knows how to please the fans with the iconic Brownie, who now graces the midfield of FirstEnergy Stadium.

That’s how you win crossover fans, Donovan!

Photos: Brownie the Elf at midfield for 2022

Love him or hate him, it looks like Brownie the Elf is hanging out at the 50-yard line all season at FirstEnergy Stadium. Team video confirms:

The Cleveland Browns gave fans the decision of what belonged at the 50-yard line of FirstEnergy Stadium this year. With no logo outside of the team’s helmet, FirstEnergy Stadium hasn’t had anything at the 50-yard line since 2017.

Based on the comments from the team’s announcement, and our post, it seemed fans were very passionate about the “Brownie the Elf” options. Some fans believed it was the only option while still others mocked the idea of a cartoon elf that has nothing to do with the team’s name being at midfield.

It looks like those passionate about the elf in a positive way have won out. First we saw this from high above the stadium:

Then, Brad Stainbrook of The OBR reported the same and included a picture from inside the stadium:

According to a source, the art was added to the field on Monday with that area being covered over the weekend during the rain.

The team has now confirmed the art at the 50-yard line with this video of it:

What do you think of the team’s new design at the 50-yard line?
