Raiders Look To Continue Recent Trend vs. Baltimore Ravens
The Browns left Cleveland after the 1995 season and relocated to Baltimore. Leaving the team’s colors and franchise history in Cleveland, the Ravens were, and are, considered an expansion team in terms of franchise history. They adopted new colors, a new logo, and a new team name that spoke to Baltimore’s literary history. Inspired by one of longtime Baltimore resident Edgar Allan Poe’s most famous works, the team became the “Ravens.”
