The Ravens originated when Cleveland Browns owner Art Modell decided to relocate his historic franchise, and he reached a deal with the city of Baltimore to move his team in 1996.
The 1996 season was the inaugural season of the Baltimore Ravens, and the first time a regular season NFL game was hosted at Memorial Stadium in 13 years.
The Arizona Cardinals are the oldest established team in the NFL. They were established in 1898 as an independent team and joined the NFL in its founding year of 1920.
When originally unveiled, Poe was one of three costumed mascots, all raven brothers named "Edgar", "Allan", and "Poe". Because the Baltimore Ravens were named after the poem "The Raven" by Baltimore resident Edgar Allan Poe, it was natural that the team name their mascots after Poe himself.
After the Baltimore Colts moved to Indianapolis, the Cleveland Browns moved to Baltimore. The NFL wouldn't allow them to continue using the Browns name as they said that belonged to the city of Cleveland so they became the Ravens.
Upon choosing the nickname that won out in a Sun naming contest, the Baltimore Ravens chose the color because it said it resembled the shine of the bird in sunlight. The color choice irritated some Minnesota Vikings fans, whose NFL team once monopolized the color purple. Several other sports teams use it, however.
Another said: "Question: Why is the “MO” in Baltimore gold. Any sort of significance or just random?" The answer is rather heartbreaking. The golden 'Mo' is a tribute to Baltimore superfan Mo Gaba, who died from cancer in 2020, aged 14.
Under the threat of eminent domain from the city of Baltimore, the franchise moved to Indianapolis in the middle of the night on March 29, 1984. The city of Baltimore did not give up and sued to condemn the franchise anyway and seize ownership.
A power outage at the Super Bowl put the nation's biggest sporting event on hold for more than a half-hour Sunday, interrupting an otherwise electric game that ended with Joe Flacco and the Ravens as NFL champions thanks to a 34-31 victory over the 49ers.
BALTIMORE -- Jacoby Jones, former wide receiver and kick return specialist who helped the Baltimore Ravens win their last Super Bowl, has died, the Baltimore Ravens confirmed on Sunday. He was 40 years old. The Jones family said in a statement that he died at his home in New Orleans.
