I hadn't really put this into my own thoughts, specifically, but now hearing it, it rings true. I like it.
The new identity of the #Browns is "You want us, come and get us"
Micah 6:8; He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.

If only things like this actually made any real difference.
Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.

Every team has an identity of one sort or another.
Freddie has said that the Browns want to be a tough, physical team. They also want to attack in all 3 phases of the game.
"You want us, come and get us" seems to fit that identity.

An identity isn't a slogan that you create, nor is it a hype video.
That stuff is all just make believe crap that you sell to people.
Your identity is what just naturally comes through and people see without you having to point it out. It isn't words, it is actions. Repeated, consistent action.
Let's hope this team can deliver equal to the hype.
Browns is the Browns
... there goes Joe Thomas, the best there ever was in this game.

New uniforms don't change anything and some silly "team saying" doesn't change anything.
It's about being prepared and executing on game day.
If a team needs a saying to have an identity? They have real problems.
I mean it's nice fodder for the fan base. It "sounds cool" and all. I'm sure someone will make a lot of money putting it on T-shirts. But that's where it stops.

Whatever it takes for the guys on the roster. Whether that’s acting disrespected, being underdogs, trying to have swag, etc
"First down inside the 10. A score here will put us in the Super Bowl. Cooper is far to the left as Njoku settles into the slot. Moore is flanked out wide to the right. Chubb and Ford are split in the backfield as Watson takes the snap ... Here we go."

JMHO...a team establishes an identity by the way they play.
I'm hoping the offense proves that it can score against any defense...
...and I'm hoping the defense establishes an identity where they can counted on to make the critical stops when needed, to win.
No more giving games away that the offense won only to watch the defense fail to hold the lead.
I want to see the Browns perform on offense, defense and special teams...the Browns could turn out to be a very dangerous team, regardless of who they are playing.
"Dangerous" would be a great identity buy only if the Browns can back it up on the field.
Home of the Free, Because of the Brave...

I never thought I'd see the Browns on T.V. without the single stripe on their helmets, that they are so known for,
but uhhh, what do I know, I've only "watched" it for three and a half plus decades,
I'm sure nike execs, and owners since about 2016 or what or whoever, know a lot more than me.
------
Mac said identity is repeated action, if that, then,
part of the Browns identity, whether I hate it or not, is They'll part ways with an offensive player who played a significant role in the previous years games,
pretty much on any day of the calendar year.
Can Deshaun Watson play better for the Browns, than Baker Mayfield would have? ... Now the Games count.

Browns played without helmet stripes in pre-season 2018.

I don’t mind the no-stripe thing (I actually didn’t really notice until just looking back)

Man, that no-stripe thing was a huge deal w/some posters last year. It was another example of how lame Hue was. I doubt those same posters will have a problem w/it this year. LOL

LOL I think this is a good point. One of the things that really hasn't been discussed much on here are people's take on Hue. It would be interesting to hear people's opinions on that.

Yes, let's turn the conversation back around to Hue. Anyone know how Sashi felt about the stripes? I bet he hated them.

No stripe is lame no matter who is the coach. Honestly....what I think is lame is that there is even a discussion as to if it is lame or not...
I thought I was wrong once....but I was mistaken...
What's the use of wearing your lucky rocketship underpants if nobody wants to see them????

When the Browns were founded, they wore a White leather helmet .. it was changed to all Orange when the NFL wanted to contrast the helmets to the White football used for night games. When they went to the "Plastic" style helmets .. they added a white stripe.
