The Ravens' team naming contest was held shortly after the franchise relocated from Cleveland. 2 names stood out in all of the voting - Colts and Ravens. Colts owner Jim Irsay wanted 50 million to transfer the rights to use the Colts name; in the end, it was just too much money, and the city and fans just decided to make a clean break with the past.
