If both the Cleveland Browns and Cleveland Cavaliers decided to change their names to something that is more geographically based or culture based, what name do you think would fit?

Mind you, I know this will never happen but I'm doing this just for fun.

Browns name is already culture-based, IMO. Can't think of anything for the Cavs...

It's already based on the local Indian culture, obv.

My old high school teacher had a theory that the reason Cleveland sports teams always lose is because their names suck. Indians is racist, Browns makes you think of something smelly and disgusting, and Cavalier means arrogant and apathetic.

Some of our minor league teams have better names. I like Cleveland Crunch, Gladiators, Rockers, Force, even Lake Erie Monsters.

I completely agree with this comment. All of the major teams should change their names. Who knows that may even boost the team's performance. Cleveland must have a MLS (major league soccer) team and a cool name!

The Lake Erie Monsters is the best name. Sorry, but the rest of those names suck. Especially the Force. What is that? Also, what's a crunch?

Browns would be the Bulldogs or Dawgs would be probably best. Cavs would have been Rockers (if now defunct WNBA didn't take it) but would be Marauders or Outlaws. Indians would be Spiders. You could change the name to the " Cleveland Super Bowl Guaranteed Winners" and they would still lose because God absolutely hates Cleveland. Take the Miami back to back championships as they most recent example.

I actually kinda like the Cleveland Spiders. I would support a change back to that.
