CLEVELAND — And then there was one.
Two months after it was first announced, the Cleveland Browns have announced the winner of their contest in which fans could design alternate dog logos that would potentially be adopted by the team. The winner of the contest, which was selected following two rounds of fan voting, includes several Easter eggs that serve as nods to both the city of Cleveland and the Browns’ history.
The Browns’ dog logo contest was first announced in April, with five initial finalists selected before the field was trimmed to two. According to the team, more than 400 entries were initially submitted, including the eventual winner.
“We are fired up to see what ideas our fans come up with and the thought of their logo potentially being selected is a key element in our commitment to creating an amazing experience for our fanbase,” Browns Executive Vice President, Partner of Haslam Sports Group JW Johnson, said in a statement announcing the contest. “We are always looking for feedback from our fans to improve their experience so allowing them to serve as a centerpiece of this contest offers an opportunity to engage with each other in real-time and showcase their love for the team and beyond.”
