I feel the Baltimore Fighting Ravens, which has not been the Working Title compared to the Baltimore Fighting Colts, Brand is Aggression, not fight or discipline. We know that the Aggression came Full-Stop after the Gateway Rams and after Ray Lewis had a Serious Murder Trial that would have kept him in Prison instead of a Pillar, Beacon and a Pedestal.
The aggressiveness is On-Brand, namely with how the City of Baltimore never recovered from the Loss of the Baltimore Colts. Baltimore always runs from their Football History, with Good Reason, and that behavior is evident.
I'd have problems with the Ravens Families being the Same Ambassadors as the Johnny Unitas Baltimore Colts Families are Still Ambassadors in the Baltimore and Tidewater Areas. It is not the Roseanne Contracts, or those Roseanne Contracts Cradling to Graving Potential Hall of Fame Careers (Joe Flacco) to Hall of Fame Behaviors (Ray Rice, Be Careful How You Say that to Owings Mills) and Doubling Down on those Roseanne Contracts with degrading those same Hall of Fame Careers (Lamar Jackson, Hollywood Brown) and shutting off a Late Term Career Burst to a Hall of Fame (Mark Ingram).
The character was spotted when Bart Scott yelled "Red Dot! Red Dot!" on National Television and compared to the Plight of Washington DC, it would be a Winning Culture. But, the Reality of Ravens Culture is it was built out of Fear and Aggression, not Fight and Discipline.
Last Year, it was bad enough Buffalo beat your City in the Playoffs for the 1st Time in City History. Then, Last Summer, it was Josh Allen getting Paid before Lamar Jackson and Lamar Jackson is not even worth the Kind of Paper he is Printed On. I'd always say if the Ravens won 6 Super Bowls like the Patriots, it would have been more of an aggressive NFL than it is currently than what it is.
Black and Blacker would take a Darker Turn, especially if both the Ravens and Steelers would have Black in their Color Patterns and the Nastiest NFL Rivalry would be stuck in a Rebuild Set of Years if the Ravens get as tired of Lamar Jackson's Actions as much as the Steelers having Mike Tomlin try to turn into Bill Belicheck to make up for Antonio Brown, Le'Veon Bell, Martavis Bryant and Ben Roethlisberger, among other things.
