On the left is the logo of the Cleveland Rams, who played in the NFL until 1946, when they were moved to Los Angeles. The logo always looked like a ram’s skull to me. The logo on the right became the Rams logo after the move to L.A. It’s pretty much the same ram skull with the California sun adding some color to the horns, and the ram’s mouth is open. Ironically, the Rams moved from Cleveland to L.A. to avoid competing with Paul Brown’s new Cleveland Browns franchise in the All America Football Conference. The Browns moved into the NFL in 1950, and promptly won the league’s championship game in their first season in the league, 30-28, over the Rams.
