The Cleveland Browns franchise that became the Baltimore Ravens wouldn’t be a blue blood by fan support or support from the league, but they’re a very high quality franchise with a ton of history of winning. Being split across two cities and two names makes it seem non cohesive though
Ravens have 2 Super Bowls and 12 playoff appearances in little over 20 years
Browns between 45 and 95 had 8 championships and 27 playoff appearances in 50 years

So Green Bay, Chicago and New York can count theirs but the Browns can’t? Got it. The Browns have 8 championships and there’s nothing you can do to change that.
I'm not changing anything. 4 of those championships are not NFL championships (as you initially labeled them), but rather from something called the All American Football Conference that played only 4 years and had a whole 8 teams.
Green Bay, Chicago and the Giants championships are all NFL championships, not from some minor, defunct league.
You're using the Alabama and Minnesota methods for counting championships. Don't be upset when called on it.

I would think the Redskins are right there with the Giants and Bears.

People will laugh, but historically speaking, the Browns and the Lions are two of the most historic franchises in the NFL. They absolutley dominated the first 3 decades of the NFL. Most people don’t realize the Browns went to 11 championship games. They have 8 NFL championships. They’ve just never been to a Super Bowl....heartbreakingly close, but never been. The Browns are like 5-6th all time in HoF inductees and top 10 all time wins I belive too. Cleveland had 11 losing seasons from 49’-95’...since they’ve come back in 99’, they have 19 losing seasons in 21 years. It’s. sad what’s happened to the Browns and the Lions.
And then the browns moved to Baltimore and became the ravens, who have stayed pretty successful. The Browns of today are expansion team restart suckage. NFL/art Modell screwed cleveland.

Is a blue blood a team with a rich history (eg. Lions, bears and browns) or a team with a national fan base (Steelers, cowboys). Or combination of both (packers)?

Technically, that franchise is Baltimore not Cleveland.

The Browns are as much a blueblood as Michigan football is.
ETA - and that really holds true if you go with the Browns-Ravens instead of the lawsuit driven Browns-Browns.

I'd think 13 championships gets the Packers into the blue blood club...
lmao, IDGAF about nFL cHamPiONsHiPS when it was a bunch of white dudes playing each other and throwing the ball once every 50 snaps.
The Packers have won 4 Super Bowls, and only 2 since the 60s.

Browns, Lions and Giants all had 4 NFL championships prior to merger. If one is a blue-blood, all are blue-bloods.
Good argument for the Chiefs, due to their AFL work.

They won two Super Bowls after the franchise moved to Baltimore.

So Rutgers is a blue blood of college football?

They are of nobility since they started it and the definition also says that they've don't necessarily have to do anything of note or competence.
Strictly by definition, yes Rutgers is a blue blood. Read the definition of a blue blood.

When do we get to start using this logic with the Cowboys?
They haven't been relevant on the field since the Clinton presidency.
