DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Tailgate Forum Any new news on the Browns uniforms?

I really like those colors. Drop the numbers on the side and you really have something.

Yeah, I don't like the numbers on the helmet ...... but I kinda like the colors as a nice modern take on tradition.

I don't really care, I guess I like the metallic look.

We said we aren't messing with the helmet. I don't think that means it won't change some. I take it to mean no logo will appear. The one you guys like is pretty cool as well. Almost looks like we are wearing leather helmets.

Clearly the Packers, Bears, and Steelers owe their consistent success to their stylish uniform decisions

I can't help but notice that a lot of massive successes seem to be preceeded or intermixed by uniform changes. 1999 Rams, Pats, late 90's Buccaneers, and the modern Seahawks.

It could be they made the switch after the team was noticably good to increase sales...but in any event my main logical argument is "I don't like the color scheme of the browns jerseys currently". I like the crap like seahawks and oregon ducks jerseys so there may be no hope left for me

I'm already a old fuddy duddy Don't care for new uniforms, and hate twitter. I need to stay in more

12 below zero here tonight wind chills of -30 and a high of 2 tomorrow with wind chills -20 all day. People are begging me to go outside lol

What happens when you see your shadow?

New uniforms change nothing but sales for the Browns. It doesn't make players, coaches, decisions or the FO any better.

As a fan myself, I'll buy more Browns gear when they offer a better product. Be that the old look or a new one.

I've never bought much browns gear. The losing doesn't help, I don't like the colors. The brown is terrible, and the orange isn't that far behind. A jersey runs $80, if I'm going to spend that much, I at least want to like the style.

I really hope Haslem changes the colors all together. Know that is a long shot, but the browns are in Baltimore. I'm a firm believer that we should've left the colors, name, and started with something fresh in 99. Most things in life aren't forever, never understood why we were so hell bent on keeping something that left town.

Not sure how to post the actual picture but I kind of like these uniforms from the links you posted.

y'all are nuts. Orange is the absolute best color for a sports team.

I agree about those random stripes on the pants. But remove them and I would like those uni's

Dark Browns with the metallic lid for home.
Maybe a gray theme with orange trim as our aways.

Keep a traditional for certain occasions

I love orange, just wish that we didn't use such a glow in the dark. I'd prefer if we went with an orange more like the Texas Longhorns than the orange used by the Tennessee Volunteeers.

I'd say keep one color the same and change another. I vote keep our orange pantone code and make the brown an even darker, almost black shade.

Denver darkened their blue with the 90s color swap but I believe they kept their orange shade.

Dear god we are so long overdue for this change. PLEASE make it happen!!

I saw this on a joke site ... but this is pretty much how I'd like the a new Browns helmet to look:



Metallic Orange, with something creative for the stripe pattern. Not necessarily what they have here, but something a little more modern. Possibly similar to the Denver Bronco stripes, but with White and Brown.

There are some nice elements there.

I definitely would like a metallic color as our base on the helmet. I think that I would prefer a darker color than that though.

I'm not big on changing things but I have to admit, I kinda like that

That's not bad. Like someone else said........perhaps just a bit darker.

As crazy as it sounds, at this point I might be upset if they KEEP the helmet the way it is...

Even if you keep the same stripe pattern, the metallic look is THE way to go.. So purty...

Are they just going to keep us in the dark all year on this?

I don't know. Someone said it won't happen until 2015, if it happens at all.

They actually might be monitoring this thread. They are probably conducting surveys as to which colors and styles are most appealing in sample groups.

Like you, I am pretty excited about it and I typically don't care about stuff like that. LOL I just think it is time for a change and I really do hate our shade of orange. I really did think there would be more complaining about this proposed change, though.

that looks worse than my ass.

I dunno ...... I really don't get those who want to keep the uniforms the same. I am all for updates. I don't want to completely change them ....... I don't want completely different colors ....... but I do want updates. These uniforms have become associated with losing. I don't think that changing uniforms is a cure all ...... but I do think that it helps change the mindset of a team, and mentally the players think "We're not the same old Browns".

All jokes aside, I've been a staunch traditionalist for as long as I've been a Browns fan.

Even so, I've pretty much embraced every re-branding and 'update' change that My Own Bunch has tried in the last 20+ years. The difference between the two: we've actually improved over the past 20+ years. We're smarter, hipper... and just plain better at what we do- and it had nothing to do with re-packaging ourselves. We simply became a better unit- with better on-field leadership, higher standards, and a team-wide commitment to make ourselves better. Can My Favorite Football Team actually say that- with a straight face?

When I got my job, we were regarded as being just barely outside of the ranks of 'Community Orchestra.' 2 years ago, we smoked NYC in Carnegie Hall... and blasted out a concert that launched an entire annual festival. To date, We and the Oregon Symph are regarded as the "gold standard" for what others aspire to in this event. We helped to set the standard- on a worldwide stage.

THAT'S a "Super Bowl Legacy" in my profession, folks.

If I can get with those efforts with the team I actually play on, why not the team I root for?

Metallic helmets? Go for it.
Updated stripes/uni treatment? No Probs with me.

Here's the deal, for me: even if we go with wholesale changes to 'the look,' it can't make the on-field product any worse than we're used to seeing.

If I'm going to watch the 'same old Browns' for the next 2-3 years, I'll at least get to see them in new wrapping paper.

I still won't buy the product they've 'gift-wrapped' until they start winning- but I'll at least get to see them lose with a new look...

Wrap it up in any package you want- I won't get enthusiastic about this bunch until they win at least as many games as they lose, season to season. Consistently.

I can't be made to care about this issue until the product becomes 'watch-worthy."

Until then, it's all just packaging and marketing.

Give me a product that is watch-worthy, and I'll scream to the high heavens.

I don't care about all the rest.

Change anything you want, regarding uniforms and 'updates.' Just give me players who win games. I'll rock a metallic-looking baseball cap with pink feathers, if you can do that. The rest will sort itself out, IMHO.

I just don't like it bro. I see no need to mess with the helmets at all.
