There is 2 separate Baltimore franchises, the original was the Baltimore Colts who later moved to Indianapolis. The current franchise Baltimore Ravens was actually the Cleveland Browns who left Cleveland and the their name behind with the city after a lawsuit. So the Ravens are all new with no old ties as far as records, and mascots, and history.
The Baltimore Ravens are an extremely well run franchise. They are in the playoff hunt year in, year out. Chances are good that they will eventually win another Super Bowl title in the future.
