One Team - One City - One Heartbeat

1980 Kardiac Kids 30th Anniversary
Commemorative Lithographic Print

Nationally-renowned artist Ray Simon of Youngstown, Ohio, has captured the heart, the soul and the spirit of the 1980 Kardiac Kids in this spectacular painting that commemorates one of the most exciting seasons in Cleveland Browns history.

Now available as an 18x24-inch lithographic print, "One Team - One City - One Heartbeat" will hang proudly in your home or office as a lasting remembrance of a season in which the Browns, their fans and the city of Cleveland truly united as one.

"My passion and admiration for the Browns clearly comes through in the many, many hours it took for me to complete this work of art," Mr. Simon said. "This very well may be the best sports painting that I've done to date."

Mr. Simon's paintings are well known to Browns fans everywhere. One of his best-known works, "The Final Play," is a lasting tribute to the original Browns franchise. "The First Play" celebrates the rebirth of the Browns in 1999. "Cleveland's Tradition Will Never Be Denied" honors Browns Hall of Famers such as Otto Graham, Jim Brown and Dante Lavelli.

2. DVD - The Twelve Days of
a Cleveland Brown Christmas

 

Browns fans everywhere remember this classic song played on the radio during the 1980 Kardiac Kids season. A memorable piece of this most memorable season has been recreated as a special DVD featuring photos of each player mentioned in the song. It alone would be a perfect gift for any Cleveland Browns fan, especially fans of the 1980 Kardiac Kids. However, the DVD alone is not available for sale.

3. 1980 Cleveland Browns
Team Photo

 

The 1980 Kardiac Kids players, coaches, trainers and equipment staff are pictured in the official team photo taken just prior to the 1980 season. At the time the picture was taken, although everyone believed, no one knew that a heart-stopping season was about to unfold. These are the men who made it all happen-the 1980 Kardiac Kids. Suitable for framing, it is a lasting memory of the team that made possible the most exciting season in Browns history.
