Wow.
All hyped up.... For that?
Can't wait to see the new uniforms /sarcasm. That was kind of my thought. It took two years to pick a shade darker orange. Mine also. Not sure what I think of this. I mean, it's fine because there is not change, but the build up was nothing more than a let down.

Look at us, a bunch of guys worried about shades of orange. We're guys, we don't worry about things like the shade of colors. We only needed the 8-color crayon box when we were little.
Stop it, all of you. LOL, xactly. I'm only here so I don't get fined

Did this really need all the media hype/attention? No, unless they were going for being poked relentless fun of for the next week. Then it was a huge success.

Maybe I see this a little differently. Did the Browns announce there would be a change? Yes they did. Was there a change? Yes there was.
All of the hype, speculation and build up to this was created by the press and extrapolated by the fan base.

There are no words in the dictionary that match the level of apathy these changes instill in me. Based on this example, I fully expect to fall asleep (or into a coma) at the uni unveiling. If you are going to: 1. announce a change 2. hype that change for more than 2 years 3. promise your fan base 'fresh' 'exciting' and 'new'... ...then do it. Really do it. This effort was so weak, it doesn't even put the 'laugh' in 'laughingstock'... smh. Pretty much sums it up for me.

I will withhold judgment on whether this was a waste of my time and interest until after the uniforms come out.

I would almost rather they came out with an ugly logo that don't really like..
Because then I'd be able to form some sort of opinion..
This is just.. uh.. OK.. Same thing.. Whatever..
Am I the only one that pronounces hyperbole "Hyper-bowl" instead of "hy-per-bo-le"?

fair enough. I just see the new logo as a precursor to another wiiiide yawn. I really, REALLY hope I'm wrong. To be honest, I've always been one of the traditionalists regarding the team's look. When change became a fait accompli, I came around, and even got a little excited about it. I found myself thinking: "hey... a Browns version of the Seahawks makeover might actually be cool..." With today's unveiling, my expectations have been dampened somewhat. AND if the 'new' unis reflect the same degree of change as the logo, well... I'd be inclined to think that they should have just left the whole thing alone. Guess we'll see soon enough, eh?

*Sigh*....this isn't the first knock and won't be the last of tthem, I'm sure. The new Browns logo is ADORABLESo after all these teases we are finally going to see the new Browns logo! The football world has waited with bated breath over what logo we will get. Will they change the helmet? Will they put the dog on the helmet? Will they use the Brownie again? Will they change the dog? Will they really change anything? It’s time to find out! Oh…so it’s just the current helmet but now with a Brown facemask. Okay, I guess we got a little too hyped up there. Wait, something feels odd about the Orange, did they just take it into Photoshop and up the saturation levels? THEY DID. Okay, whatever. Maybe they wanted an Orange that was brighter and looked more like the Bengals orange. It’s a sort of pointless change but they are probably going to be using this new orange in the new uniform and it’s not too different, I’m on board with this. I wonder what they did with the dog logo, though. I hope they made it angrier. The dog should represent the die-hard loyalists of Cleveland who hunger for a real victory, who show up to every game every year despite the same low-level of play. They are tough. Cleveland fans are tough. The Dawg pound deserves a tough, old, proud dog. Alright, Nike, what have you got? *Squeeeee* AWWWWWWWW LOOK AT HIS WIDDLE FACE HE’S SO CUTE AAAHHHHHH omg. Omg. Omg omg omg. I am totally a dog person after this LOOK AT HIM awwwwwwww what’s his name? Hey there, little guy! AWWWW LOOK AT HIM TRY TO SNARL WITH HIS CUUUTE WIDDLE UNDERBITE, DAWWWWWWWW I wanna ruffle his widdle chubby face aww I just wanna squeeze him and hold him and oh my god I love him can we keep him??? You wanna play fetch little guy? Yes you do! YES YOU DO! WHO’S A GOOD 7-9 TEAM MASCOT?? YES YOU ARE! YES YOU ARE! You wanna treat? YOU WANNA TREAT? HERE’S YOUR QB IN REHAB, GET HIM BOY! The Browns are totes my new favorite team now. http://www.footballsavages.com/the-new-browns-logo-is-adorable/

I'd rather have people making fun of us for our logo than our QB who is in rehab, our most talented player being suspended for a year, our GM illegally texting during games, our owner being caught up in a scandal, our not having made the playoffs in an eternity, etc. etc.

I like it !
This is what the owner wanted ..no big changes, but a change in the color of the orange, I'm fine with that.
It's not your decision and not my decision so why act like it is? It was not a contest where fans made the choice so we can stop with our childish disappointment..so you didn't get what you wanted...what are you gonna do, cry about it?
There are more changes to come, with the uniforms, so maybe it will be more like what some of you expected.

Pay $100,000 for a QB study and ignore it. Take two years to come up with a new logo and barely change it. Gotta love our Browns.

I'm happy it wasn't something completely stupid or embarrassing. I'll take the mocking over the 'no change, change'. Personally I'm not much for change when it comes to this part of our tradition. Now I do wonder if they are going to screw the pooch and add grey pants why bother with the brown face mask? I mean at that point grey will be part of our new color scheme. (Because we all know how well brown and grey go together...deep sarcasm.) So why remove it now. My hope is removing the grey facemask is a sign of no further grey to come. As to the desire for a logo. Why do we need a logo? Isn't wearing Browns gear enough? Do you really need an angry looking dog or some other thing? I guess I don't get it. Though I only own a couple hats and a Tshirt. It's not as though I'm longing to spend $100+ to add to a jersey collection. Maybe for those of you that do, this 'no change, change' is going to save you some ¢hange.

I think it has more to do with us being tired of the front office blowing smoke up our asses.
It would be nice if they would actually follow through with what they say they are going to do just once.

I'm not to big on hats that just say "BROWNS" or have the helmet logo on them..
Though I have 3 of them...

I'm kind of relieved that there were no major changes to the logo. I'd like the Dawg Pound dog to be more menacing, but I get the whole image thing as well.

Though I have 3 of them... I'm just not sure what people really want. We're the Browns. After Paul Brown. How do you capture that in a logo? We're not dogs. While that may be a mascot it's not our team name so it's wierd to have it added to our uniform in any meaningful way. I'm not sure how wearing a dog on my hat is 'The Browns'. So then what? Everyone hated the idea of the leaked Paul Brown logo. But realistically that would be the most appropriate. So what do you all want to have emblazoned on ties, and shirts, and hats?

They paid a consultant a million dollars to come up with the metallic orange, but homeless guy told Jimmy to go with the darker orange instead. Please stop ignoring this joke. It is perfect.

And if they would have made wholsale changes evryone would have ben saying how Haslam just made major changes so he could sell more merchandise.
This is not going to prompt anyone to run to the store... guess he is only in it for the marketing bucks.

People complaining over minor changes when the general opinion was they didn't want major changes. Go figure? But typical. As for the dawg logo....who cares? Only children really care about cartoon images. That's the one they picked. I is no lamer then any other they could have selected. Actually, the orange is closer to the orange used in the 60's. I am good with that. It seemed a bit pastel before this change.

J/C ....
I am curious as to what people expected/wanted the new logo to look like.
The Browns changed the color, changed the color of the facemask, and changed the font on the name.
What did people want them to do? Completely change the logo to a person? Maybe they could have used a silhouette of Paul Brown, who the world would have laughed about, saying it looked like Tom Landry ..... and who the Bengaks would ave complained about. Now I wouldn;t have minded something liek a silhouette of a player, all in black, witht he Browns helmet in full color, but that would have been a fairly significant change.
Frankly, though,I like the helmet as our logo, so I am not really disappointed at all. I really like the new Dawg Pound logo. All in all, I am quite pleased.
