So if Manziel flops (not saying he will) what will come of your collection? Wear them any way? Money wasted? Donate to Goodwill? Send them to a third world nation where they believe the Buffalo Bills were four time world champions?
A bit off topic, but most people don't notice this when I wear it, believe it or not:
 That's great!

Any truth to the rumor Purp's starting his own line of T-shirts? I would buy one fer shure! Submit design ideas.   Just kidding (unless the $$$ is good enough). The shirt above reminds me of like a Pillsbury Doughboy for some reason . . . . Disturbing.

I will pass even thought 90 percent of the clothes I own are Cleveland Browns Items. My last purchase was a team issued signed Otto Graham Jersey which I bought 3 months ago.
I used to have a Browns hardhat, a Groza 76 jersey, White slacks with appropriate striping and a Browns varsity Jacket. Lost them all to hurricane Katrina in '05. I haven't fully recovered yet.

Go Browns, WIN or lose, forever!

I don't want to start a whole new thread over a Cleveland sports related figure, but these Lebron James shirts are pretty cool too:

It'd be hilarious to see a shirt with LeBron throwing the chalk in the air, and Manziel trying to snort it.
Ok, it'd suck and it'd be fuel for folks to talk smack, but it'd also be really funny 
Browns is the Browns
... there goes Joe Thomas, the best there ever was in this game.

Well someone else brought it up but I'm here to confirm it, that shirt looks like Manziel is giving the wearer purple nurples.

Yeah, I know. It's a comment I saw someone make on the internet regarding a photo and this was an opportunity to use it myself.

I'm at the point where I'm done buying anything with a name or a likeness.
Been that way for a few years now. Probably since LeBron.
I'll buy Tribe, Browns and Cavs stuff, but nothing with a guy's name on it.

I feel the same way about spending money on a name. No one has lasted long enough in this new era to put any stock into.
From the Kosar era there were plenty though.

The next name I buy will be the MVP of the title game/series. I might be waiting a long time.

j/c You know, I used to believe that was "the money sign". But ever since the picture of him rolling up the $20 in the bathroom, it just reminds me of him rolling a huge joint. 
Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.

Manziel tops jersey sales By Will Brinson | NFL Writer
July 21, 2014 12:33 pm CT
The Browns didn't just draft a quarterback. They drafted a freaking marketing machine: Johnny Manziel's No. 2 Browns jersey is the NFL Shop's top-selling jersey through the first portion of 2014's fiscal year.
Darren Rovell of ESPN reports the league will announce Manziel as the top-selling jersey on Monday, with the Browns quarterback beating out Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson for the top-selling spot.
The Super Bowl champion Seahawks did dominate the list though: Wilson (2nd), Richard Sherman (5th), Marshawn Lynch (11th) and Earl Thomas (12th) check in, as did the "12th Man" jersey many Seattle fans wear (10th!).
Other notable NFC West names include Colin Kaepernick (3rd) and Rams rookie Michael Sam (6th), the first openly-gay player in NFL history. (It's doubtful Tony Dungy purchased a jersey.)
Several rookies will also crack the top 25: Teddy Bridgewater (13th), Jadeveon Clowney (16th) and Blake Bortles (18th).
The biggest surprise of all, though? The Browns are the THIRD best-selling team. In the NFL. Out of all the teams!
Johnny Football is business. And business is good. ...do we have a standard font color for pasting articles? I used to use Orange but I don't like it anymore. Meh. I'll try pink with this one.

I just use the standard color for everything. It keeps people guessing. lol

How did we do last year, or the year before. I don't think Johnny Manzel caused this.

That Sam, a guy who is no guarantee to even make his team, is 6th in jersey sales, says a lot. What it says I'm not sure though. If he doesn't show well in preseason, I bet the NFL tells the Rams to still keep him on their roster, and they'll make it up to them in the compensatory picks next year .....

What it says I'm not sure though.
I think it says there are available markets that the NFL can grow (or exploit).
Look just a few years back with Jeremy Lin. Linsanity didn't just hit NBA and general sports fans, the circus was wide enough to bring in non-sports fans too (though probably a larger impact was from the Asian community). He was a fresh face, good story, and a racial novelty within the NBA. So "it" sold well.
Sam is doing the same thing. It's still a little new because he hasn't played yet.
They'll both end up in the same place in a few years in my opinion. Lin is already kind of an obscure player after signing that big deal in Houston and playing so-so (and most recently being shipped to LA as a "name" and a salary dump). I think Sam will stick, but won't be good enough to match the hype. He'll play in the league for 3-4 years.
I wish him the best, just like any newly drafted player.
