Yes ~ The Ravens were established in 1996, when Art Modell moved the Cleveland Browns football team to Baltimore.

The name "Ravens" was inspired by Edgar Allan Poe's poem “The Raven.”

Chosen in a fan contest that drew 33,288 voters, the allusion honors Poe, who spent the early part of his career in Baltimore and is buried there.

Poe is also the name of the mascot of the Baltimore Ravens. 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”, it was natural to name their mascots after Poe.
