DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Tailgate Forum New uniform reveal

To kind of lighten things up a bit...isn't this the year of the "new look"? Any news out there?

Maybe they'll make a big production out of it since the whole franchise will be retooled. Here's our coach and HERE'S our new unis! OBJ can wear some fancy shoes and a watch during the fashion show or something.

I thought I heard we were going to adopt the color rush uniform as our standard?

I thought they petitioned the league to do it but not sure it was approved. Dont particularly like them myself.

PHOENIX -- This new, exciting era of the Browns is receiving a makeover.

Browns owners Dee and Jimmy Haslam confirmed Tuesday the team will be donning new uniforms for the 2020 season.

The uniforms will embody a "nothing fancy" mindset, embracing the team's rich tradition and its unique distinction as the only NFL franchise with orange and brown as its two primary colors.

The Browns took a radical turn -- by the team's traditional standards -- in 2015 with their look, shedding a uniform that harkened back to the team's earliest seasons of great success for a modernized look. The results included a more vibrant orange, contrast stitching on the jerseys and pants, a matte finish on the helmet, a brown facemask, the team name down the side of the pant legs, and a jersey that made them the first club in NFL history to wear the city's name on its chest.

Fans buzzed over the new threads, which offered three jerseys and three pairs of pants for a total of 18 possible uniform combinations and were given a grand reveal at the Cleveland Convention Center. The Browns have worn just about all of them since, save for one: the all-orange set.

The uniforms attempted to bring the Browns into a new age, but didn't quite hit their mark. This time around, Dee Haslam thinks they'll be a hit with all fans.

"Yeah, I think they're making great progress on it," she said. "I think we got it right this time."


Haslam didn't reveal any other details about the new sets to be worn by the Browns in 2020 and beyond, citing tweaks that have yet to be made by both Nike and the Browns. One key detail will likely soothe concerns of traditionalists: No new colors will be added into the scheme, Haslam confirmed.

Browns uniforms through the years
With the announcement that the Browns will be receiving new uniforms for the 2020 season, take a look back at the team's appearance from its inception in 1946 all the way through 2019.





A tradition-rich franchise, the Browns have stuck with a brown and orange scheme since their inception in 1946, first donning a white helmet before making the switch to orange in 1952. At one point, brown numbers graced the helmet along with a single white stripe down the middle. Eventually, the numbers gave way to brown stripes running along each side of the white stripe.

Jerseys largely remained the same, with the team ditching an early drop shadow on the numbers for simple, block-style digits. The team kept the look, eventually switching out a gray facemask for a white one in the mid-1970s and tinkering with stripe spacing throughout the 1970s and 1980s.

Orange got its time in the spotlight in the 1970s, when the team switched to orange pants paired with the brown and white jerseys. The team did wear orange numbers during a brief dalliance with a change in design in 1984, but they were so unpopular, the Browns switched back to white numbers (with an orange outline) for that campaign before ultimately returning to their usual look the following season.

Orange didn't return in a dominant role until the early 2000s, when the Browns brought back the orange pants and eventually added a third jersey that was orange with white numbers that included a brown drop shadow (a nod to the 1940s). Then, the team adopted the current orange-heavy look in 2015.

Until their 2020 release, Browns fans can mock up their dream sets in an attempt to envision the future with Baker Mayfield under center. He just won't look exactly like he did in 2018 when it comes to fashion.

I figure it’ll just be the color rush brown for home and white for away, with maybe an all orange alternate.

For some reason, the prospects of new uniforms aren’t as intriguing as they were 6 months ago

Give me the old brown over white, the all whites and maybe an orange over white 3rd. NO Browns down the pant legs!!

I like the old school unis.

They should change the shade of brown to paper bag.

I like it. I think winning games should edge out the dress-up doll priority. Selling new gear for the wrong reasons. I like the Elf and the older uniforms from when we were respectable. Hope we are pretty on gameday.

Browns need a logo on their uniforms... and possibly on the helmet. hell with the rich old history. thats years...years ago. last time team was relavent was in mid-late 80s. Dawg or Elf on the sleeves at least... and possibly on the helmet.

Uniforms : Browns
Deck chairs : Titanic

Do we get to listen to Celine Dion as we lose year after year?

My heart will go on, but my ass is tired of this [bleep].

New logo on the side of the helmets

Now where have we HEARD THAT before.

Disagree, and I am someone who would be considered younger.

I am not against the idea if we actually had a logo.

You see, the elf and dawg are mascots, not logos. Theres a difference. Its hard to have a logo of a name.

In 2015, they revealed in mid-April. I’d imagine it’ll be the same, depending on draft marketing, since they’d need to be out ahead of that.

Who can forget. . .



Joe Thomas, #95, Barkevious Mingo, Donte Whitner, Karlos Dansby, Dwayne Bowe, Christian Kirksey, Taylor Gabriel, Andrew Hawkins, and Brian Hartline revealing the uniforms. Epic.

I just wonder how many forget that a few posters suggested how the uniforms may make a difference.......

I'll never forget the uniform reveal show on Channel 5. The pageantry was over the top.

Then the players walked out in uniform and it was complete flop. People even thought they were red because of the lighting.

Classic Browns.

Please God just let them release the new ones in a press release.

What kind of innovative marketing strategy would that be?

So no red carpet? Or interviews with Jimmy, Dee, JW and other luminaries on said red carpet? I was thinking they might even break out about a dozen of those giant sky searchlights to make things look even more festive!

I think they should have Cardi B perform at the unveiling.

Armonty Bryant!

Am I the only person who doesn't really care about the uniforms? I barely even notice them, except when they are in some hideous color scheme, usually something monotone.

Just win.

No way. I don't even believe you.

Amen. If this is what Dee is ramped about it says a lot about the wow factor driving us. Watching unis is like Super Bowl fans crazy for halftime performers.

I tune in for the game.

I don't mind a uniform change, for some teams it's a symbolic way of putting a bad past behind them, and moving forward. Of course it doesn't always work, but gotta start somewhere.

I wouldn't mind a burnt orange metallic helmet color though, or even a flat matte orange.

Well, if that's the case we should be on uniform change #5 with the Haslam's!

The fact that we are now on uniform 2 in their short tenure as owners (not to mention all the coaches and GMs they have hired and fired) is a pretty sad state of affairs.

This looks pretty good, but I remember all the speculation and mock ups leading up to the last uni change. Guess we will see when we see.

I think I would like that if they would take the shoulder stripes and carry them down the sides of the torso, lining up with the pants stripes. I do not want to go backwards.

Lol, those look ridiculous and appear like a bad photoshop.

Not sure if this will be aligned in any way w/ new informs. but the "Browns" type seems a bit different. And the color Browns looks much darker....but that could just be my eyes.

Maybe the elf will be the "official" logo moving forward?

Hope not.

That logo makes me think of Grossi and Baker for some reason.

Have heard that the elf will be making more appearances on team gear going forward... #Browns

He won’t be part of the uniform, but just sideline gear, etc.

All the teams hats are black. They are the draft hats. They are supposed to look like neon lights because the draft was going to be in Vegas.
