Bengals are clowning our new logo. We've reached a new low.
http://www.bengals.com/news/article-1/Be...b6-e65be3939058
I think that's pretty funny. Made me laugh.
Of course it is, but it's a reason to poke fun at us. Depressing.
Anyways, I thought to start another thread on this uniform topic since the unveiling is just a few days out.
Also, the Cleveland Orchestra did a similar thing today with their logo. Even our own are doing it!
The marketing department becoming even more of a
laughingstock now that April 1st gives others the excuse.

On the April Fools side of things, I gotta admit 100% - I bit hardcore on the draft pick/textgate joke. I bit 100% on it, haha...
Brutal these are, but this one was too funny I instantly had my speculations.
jeez, lighten up... its a joke... are we so woe is me sensitive we cant laugh, ( except Rish.
)
It's pretty funny. Let's just give them two beat downs next season, while wearing that new electric orange!

When told that 18-versions-of-'84-WCO-playbook-packrat Shurmur had his lackeys still carrying boxes out of the office on 4-1-13, most thought it was a joke... for a second or two before thinking.
I'd fire every individual who put together that "new' logo
I'd fire every individual who put together that "new' logo
I don't know about the people who put it together, the logo itself is not bad. I might consider firing the marketing people who made it out to be a significant change, when they knew full well it wasn't.
Im just surprised in this day and age that someone hasnt leaked or hacked into it somewhere to reveal before its announced....the suspense is killing me. I hope they really change things up or we will once again be laughed at like our "new" logo....either change it completely or not at all is my opinion
Those look like Midget Football jerseys.
This Cleveland NFL team continues to ruin precious memories of the real Browns we once knew.
.
That is obviously on display, it looks like in a retail store.
I doubt that's how the Browns will reveal the jerseys to the world.
Here is another design from last year ......
I don't know if I like it, or hate it.
I definitely hate it. Its vomit-worthy.

Which precious memories? The drive or the fumble? Unless you're talking about pre 1960's there are no precious memories.
I definitely hate it. Its vomit-worthy.
It's kind of like the really ugly dog .... that starts to grow on you ..... I is si bad that I am starting to like it.
lol
Its something a fan might wear, but not a professional football team. Don't give them (the Browns) any ideas; I'm already worried they're gonna eff this uni thing up.
Those are not the new uniforms. I would bet money on it. We have heard that gray will be a color in the scheme, and that the Browns jersey will be going away.
We are so screwed. I have a really bad feeling about this.
Because that is one of the primary rumors that has been making the rounds ever since the news of new uniforms came out.
That design you posted (manziel) is the best I've seen! I don't think that will "materialize" though.
The other recent pic (Haden)...I like the orange jerseys, always have. But orange will be an alternate jersey, we might see it once a year.

once a year? Is that an official statement from the team, or the NFL ?
I like the orange leaked (Haden) on a store rack, wear them as often as possible.
Nothing official. I just don't see orange as a regular jersey, more of a special occasion. Once or twice a year is what I expect on the orange.
Hey Grateful Dawg - where did you find this?
The Nike mention caught my eye - is it a real leak?
Boring is better than "Oregon".
It's impossible for an NFL team to be "Oregon"
The NFL mandates a team can only use one helmet the entire season.
My point was. Besides adding the orange jersey, and changing the stripes on the pants, and altering the shoulder stripes a bit..
It's the same thing.
If that is what they debut on the 14th, it's going to flop, just like the Logo did..
So what? I liked the uni's fine before. Improve the team.
How can the Bengals make fun of anyone's uniform, I mean look in the mirror
Here is another design from last year ......
I don't know if I like it, or hate it.
I think I like 'em?

Maybe throwback uni's are an exception?

I'm pretty sure that is a new rule as part of the new concussion protocol. I don't think anyone has had alternate helmets in a couple of years.

The Eagles and Bucs wanted to wear their old school Kelly Green and Bright Orange uniforms this past season..
The NFL said they could, but they would have to wear their current helmets with them.
j/c:
#Browns new helmet will be matte orange with modified brown & white oreo stripe + brown facemask
https://twitter.com/RuiterWrongFAN
That's a fan mock up btw..
That's a fan mock up btw..
You mean the Browns didn't release their new helmets by photographing them on somebodys patio table in a residential neighborhood?
Ha! I know it's a mock up. My bad. I guess I should have provided the tweet comment that accompanied the photo. It says they look similar to that, but not quite.
It also provided a very decent matte finish to it.
It's an intern's backyard, duh.
I like the matte finish, I think the color is a bit off, needs to be a more "candy" orange I think.. Based off the logo..
I like that it no longer looks like a "plastic cone" orange..
I guess the stripe is different.. White/Brown/White instead Brown/White/Brown?
And the "BROWNS" text face is different..
Should be interesting.
I really hope those jersey they showed hanging on a rack aren't what they came up with..
Where are the Nike symbols?
That hint of orange near the collar gets me pumped up..
Mostly because it allows me to believe those orange ones on the rack aren't the real deal..
8 more days...
Even more proof...
Jersey Leak? Are they real or aren't they? That's the question Browns fans have been asking themselves since photos of the supposed Browns new uniforms popped up last weekend on Twitter. Twitter Link
few more days left.. countdown anyone? lol
I really like the brown and orange scheme we've got going on here. I never liked the orange unis from seasons prior as they wore white pants. Now it all blends together.
Even the white jersey pops, too!
I'm a fan if these are legit.
I would still like to see the white jerseys with orange pants.
I would still like to see the white jerseys with orange pants.
My guess is that the will be able to mix and match. Brown with Brown, orange with orange, white with orange, brown with white, orange with white, etc.
If these are the ones I like them.
They were bound to leak as they have to be ready for sale the day they are unveiled. Stores have to have them in warehouses, ready to put on the racks.
I like the helmet.
The rest? Meh.
Love the brown jersey over orange pants. I hope these are the uni's. I think they look great.
It's hard to tell, but I am NOT a fan of pumpkin orange in any which way.

orange pants with the brown jerseys
Those are not the new uniforms. I would bet money on it. We have heard that gray will be a color in the scheme, and that the Browns jersey will be going away.
Taking away the jersey? We playing shirts vs skins now?
Hmm, can I say skins?
I highly doubt any of us have seen the actual jersey yet ... I can't believe it would be leaked.
I'm expecting a gray/silver alternate jersey.
I'm also hoping for a brown top and orange pants ... and vice versa
I absolutely hate the brown on brown (especially with no stripes down the pants)
Those unis are cool, and for that reason I am not confident we will be getting them. I am sure the actual new unis will be a let down, we are talking about The Browns after all
In regards to the leak.. Why is only the Orange jersey? Why is it always #23? Seems sketchy..
In regards to those being our new jerseys.. Blah.
If those really and truly are our new jerseys, then that sucks. To me, it's dumb and ugly looking.
I doubt the leaked store photo is it though. I hope not anyway.
Of course it is, but it's a reason to poke fun at us. Depressing.
Anyways, I thought to start another thread on this uniform topic since the unveiling is just a few days out.
And when we poke fun of another team what exactly does it mean? NOTHING.. Same thing this kinda thing actually means. We're rivals, if we had just won the superbowl, someone would make fun of something/anything we've done.
I guess I'm not at all sensitive about stuff like this. It's pretty childish.

I'll slightly disagree with you on blah, I think they're worse than that.
Here's Whitner's
Love the brown jersey over orange pants. I hope these are the uni's. I think they look great.
I like those. I would hope they get a little more creative with the stripes on the pants though.
Is it me? or are these helmets two-tone? One side matte and the other shiny? When is the release date?
There's too much evidence for those to not be our new uni's. I'm okay with them, I wanted a little "more", but considering nobody else have those stripes where they are, it's unique. And I guess I like the "Cleveland" on the chest too.
I still won't buy a new jersey though.
I'd have to question how those were shipped to stores a week early. I'd imagine someone within the Browns front office is calling a Nike official and asking how jerseys were allowed to leave a manufacturing plant with all the time and money went into this redesign.
I'm going with a 99% chance those are ours.
I'm with you. When newly designed jerseys are showing up in the stores, it's most likely our new jerseys. I plan on buying new gear when they show me a product worthy of me financially supporting.
I'm not opposed to this new jersey, but it also doesn't make me feel compelled to go out and buy one. To me the product is the team. New marketing without a winning team simply doesn't do anything for me.
If those are the jerseys, I'm ok with it. Gives it something a little new without a dramatic departure from the old.
I know I'll be in the minority but I'm glad to see the orange jerseys make a return.

I actually already own an Orange Browns jersey (BE#17 - Used on eBay for $15). I liked them, though the Orange was a bit too light, but I never liked them with the White pants. If they're wearing them with the Browns pants, I'm in. And the same goes with the Orange pants and Browns jerseys, those are the good away or alternate combinations.
I do like the all Brown combination too, but I don't care enough about it to be upset if we never see it again.
I liked the Orange jersey whan we had it some years back.
Based on what was said about having 30 something uniform options, I'd say a Orange jersey is a given.
Blah. I don't like the color orange. Other than Brown's t-shirts, I don't have any clothes that are orange. I don't have orange in my kitchen, my living room, or anywhere in my house. I have never owned an orange car. It's probably the cheesiest color of all time.
I was hoping we would at least go w/burnt orange metalic helmets, but no........we stick w/pumpkin orange.
Those orange jerseys ls just like the one on Cleveland.com of Jamel White back in 2002. The only difference is the words cleveland on the front. Plus I doubt they will say dawgpound inside the collar. I think they are just something that has been thrown out there to get people to buy it.
With all the hoopla about the unveiling, I doubt highly they are the real thing.
If they are, they are about as exciting as the new logo
Joe Thomas, Donte Whitner and Brian Hartline among nine Browns players who will don the new uniforms at unveiling | cleveland.com
http://www.cleveland.com/browns/index.ssf/2015/04/joe_thomas_donte_whitner_among.html#incart_2boxCLEVELAND, Ohio -- The Browns will be dressed to the nines on Tuesday night.
They'll use nine of their top players to unveil their nine new uniform combinations at the Cleveland Convention Center.
The players are left tackle Joe Thomas, safety Donte Whitner, defensive end Armonty Bryant, linebackers Karlos Dansby, Barkevious Mingo and Chris Kirksey; and receivers Dwayne Bowe, Brian Hartline and Taylor Gabriel.
In addition to the current players showing off the long-awaited uniforms, the Browns will have nine alumni gracing the orange carpet: Hall of Famer Jim Brown, Hanford Dixon, Dan Fike, Bob Golic, Kevin Mack, Greg Pruitt, John Thierry, Jamel White, and Felix Wright.
The unveiling, which is open to select season ticket holders, will run from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., and will be broadcast live from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. by Browns' new TV partner Newschannel 5.
Also on hand for the gala will be Browns owner Jimmy Haslam, team president Alec Scheiner and representatives from NIKE, who spent the past two years designing the uniforms in conjunction with the Browns.
"We're cautiously optimistic and hopeful that the fans will really like it and the players will really like it," owner Jimmy Haslam said at the NFL annual meeting in Phoenix last month.
Fellow owner Dee Haslam is confident the Browns struck the right balance between progress and tradition.
"I think I can fairly say that,'' she said at the annual meeting "That was the goal, to balance it well. I think we've done that."
She knows, however, that it's difficult to please everyone.
"There's going to be a zillion opinions on whether (people) like it or don't like it," she said. "At the end of the day it's how you play the game."
Whitner, a Cleveland native and Glenville High grad, enthusiastically gave the new uniforms a thumbs up after getting a sneak preview recently.

Best jerseys in the league! Hands down! 9 different color combos!
6:04 PM - 24 Mar 2015
And at a press conference in February to discuss the Browns new logos, Scheiner promised that the new duds will be more exciting than the logos were.
"I do think we'll move the uniform farther ahead than the logo,'' he said. "We were very respectful of the logo, and I think our fans have given us permission to move forward quicker with our uniforms. We're always trying to strike the balance (between moving forward and tradition). I feel like with the Nike and the NFL and the people in our building, we've done a really good job with that. Even though it will be more radical in the mark evolution, we're still kind of keeping the things our fans care about.''
He added that he was excited about the new looks, which includes a modernized helmet.
"Once again, what's important is we push ourselves forward, match the energy and forward-thinking of the city, but link to our tradition and respect our tradition which is an incredible tradition,'' he said.
Photos of the purported new uniforms have leaked out, including one from a store in Columbus that put a batch of the orange ones its shelves and then later pulled them.

12:09 PM - 12 Apr 2015
The new jerseys might not look exactly like that, but they're likely to be very close. According to leaked photos, the new uniform includes jerseys and pants in orange, brown and white, which can be used in nine different combinations.
With these nine combos, what I want to know, who gets to be all orange tomorrow might?
Brown top on brown bottoms
Brown top on orange bottoms
Brown top on white bottoms
Orange top on brown bottoms
Orange top on orange bottoms
Orange top on white bottoms
White top on brown bottoms
White top on orange bottoms
White top on white bottoms
My guess is Taylor Gabriel.
There is a rumor that brown will not be a primary color for the new uniforms, and that gray will replace it.
It will be interesting to see which rumors were accurate, and which were not.
I'm more of a tradition kinda guy, but change is gonna happen regardless.
I like these unis. Hope this is the way it goes. Anyway, tonight at 7:30pm on Channel 5 WEWS is when we'll find out.
I am hoping for a brown helmet with an orange strip... just to piss everybody off.
Will this be available live online tonight?

I think it is obvious that gray is not a part of the new jerseys. The leaked jerseys are the ones.
Those are the replicas, you can tell by the non-stitched numbers and such. The authentic ones will look much better.
Wow! The orange stitching is amazing...and the Orange numbers! I think I'm aroused.
I may change my initial stance on not buying a new jersey.
I like those jerseys a lot.
Those orange jersey are just kind of "Meh". But those Brown jerseys are pretty nice.
Just wondering Y-Town, is LeBron going to be there? I mean what's a big announcement show without LeBron?
So, we know what the jersey looks like, now we are just waiting on everything else.
Link The new orange seems to be much better than the old orange.
Agreed. Still don't know how much I like the orange jersey but it is an upgrade from the prior version.
I don't mind the Brown ones, not a fan of the orange or white ones.
They remind me of a high school jersey...I guess that is appropriate with the way we've played since the team has been back.
I love those. If that is what we get as one uniform style, I will be psyched.
Just wondering Y-Town, is LeBron going to be there? I mean what's a big announcement show without LeBron?
I heard that he's sending a letter .......
After the unveiling he has an hour show on espn to let us know if he likes them or not.
I like some of these ..... but I will have to laugh if the team has their unveiling, and they are completely different from anything shown so far. lol
With brown and orange that's as good as you can get
agreed on this one. maybe the orange and white jerseys will look better when they show the whole uniform together.
on that image though, the orange strips looks like a different color than the helmet and the rest of the jersey, maybe it is just my screen
So this whole thing is to be aired only on a Cleveland station at 7:30? I'm sure ESPN will be there with mocking comments at the ready...
The broadcast is also available on the Browns app.
Should be something on the Browns' website too, I think.
I really like the dark brown jerseys! However, isn't it a NFL violation to have the city name on the jersey? You think an exception was made for the new Browns unis?
if, that is the new uni's be prepared for:
I don't like it they changed too much
I don't like it they changed too little
I don't like cause it's just a Haslam marketing ploy
they increased ticket prices for this?
major disappointment first the logo and now this... dysfunctional
It's Farmer's fault
It' Haslam's fault
It's LaCanfora's fault
No wonder Shanny left
this shade of orange sucks
This shade of brown sucks
this shade of white sucks
I hate brown, orange or white jerseys
I hare brown, orange or white pants
Per ESPN Pett wanted a different design but he was overruled by a meddling owner and Schneir (sp).
Now they can disband the team and move it to LA
me... I like it
I'm ganna assume there's a Nike Warehouse Distributor, and a few Champs Sports workers that are looking for a new job..

I highly doubt on the Nike side, I'd bet that there was a very specific distribution protocol and that it was followed. Had they not already been distributed, people would complain they were not available tonight/tomorrow.

Thanks! Hmmmm interesting. I thought I read it somewhere in the past. It's odd that no other team displays the city/state on the front of their unis. Maybe cleveland is on the new jerseys because.....crap, I don't know.

I didn't say that, and that isn't within Nike's control unless these pics came from a Nike employee. Nike's responsibility was likely design, production and distribution per league and Browns' specifications.
It makes sense that there have been leaks. The stores need to get their merchandise in the store as quickly as possible. It doesn't make sense to stock the shelves right after the uniform is unveiled. Also, even if they did wait they have the jerseys sitting in the back waiting to be unveiled.
I really hope All Orange isn't something we do a lot..

For all those that hate Grey, there's still a chance you can be upset..

Browns equipment manager gives insight on new jersey design
http://www.clevelandbrowns.com/news/arti...9e-68d57c3c995dUniform change has been years in the making
Less than 30 people have seen the Cleveland Browns’ new uniforms.
Equipment manager Brad Melland is one of them.
After all, he should. Nobody in the organization will be handling the sleek jerseys and the colorful football pant combinations as much as Melland and his tireless equipment staff.
While the Dawg Pound and the players will be frenzied about the fresh look, Melland initially marveled at the overall design change Nike established for the Browns.
“The cut of the jersey itself is better fitting, especially around the upper torso and shoulder areas,” said Melland, who is now in his 10th season with the Browns. “The jersey has evolved from being regular to being a body-hugging jersey that still allows for movement. Nike has just done a phenomenal job.”
Melland’s first glimpse of the uniforms came last summer on the team practice field in Berea. When new jerseys are created, the NFL and Nike work together in what’s called a TV testing to ensure all of the colors look in sync with high-definition cameras. From the testing, a slight tweak was made in the coloring of one of the three jerseys, Melland said.
An influx of work appeared on Melland’s plate when the Browns updated their logo and color scheme back in February. T-shirts, shorts, gloves, socks – any piece of Browns apparel marked with the old logo has been boxed up and saved for a later date.
“It’s really been out with the old and in with the new,” said Melland, who has worked in football equipment with the Seattle Seahawks, the CFL, Arena Football and the World Football League.
In the recent weeks, Melland and his staff got their hands on the uniforms. They wanted to wash the jerseys to see how they would react. They wanted to play with the twill – the actual number and lettering part – to see how it would change their workflow when a new player arrived.
Per NFL rules, each NFL team must designate a home jersey color by July 1 and must wear that jersey for six of the eight regular season home games. Last season, Cleveland declared Brown as its home jersey choice, but white has been chosen in years past, too.
An alternate can only be worn two times throughout the season. But here’s the catch: An unlimited number of pant combinations can be used.
After two years of precise planning and laborious execution, the world will finally get to see the Cleveland Browns’ new uniforms.
“I like them a lot,” Melland said. “Kevin Griffin, Alec Scheiner and Mr. and Mrs. Haslam put a ton of work into this. It’s time to show them to the public.”
I like some of these ..... but I will have to laugh if the team has their unveiling, and they are completely different from anything shown so far. lol
LOL, I was sitting here going through those that were posted and thought, what did I miss, I thought they were releasing them live tonight at 7:30 on Channel 5.
I read on my Browns App for the I-phone that only 30 people have seen them.
I don't know if any of these are real....
..."From the testing, a slight tweak was made in the coloring of one of the three jerseys, Melland said.
No fourth jersey. I don't think we'll see gray anywhere.
We've all seen the jerseys, none of us have seen the uniforms.
They mentioned on 92.3 that the Browns on the side of the pants might be real though. That was by far my favorite part of that link.
The live feed is all choppy and slow. I can't sit here for the next 45 mins watching this. And it's not helping they are doing everything but show the jerseys.
Interesting to see that a home color choice has to be made by July 1. I'd vote for the Orange Jersey, if there is one, just because I kind of like the orange jersey.
... How can a uniform ever pertain to the game of football other than the fact that all the players are going to wear it, unless it's the day of the unveiling of a uniform change, or a new teams uniform unveiled.
How can " discuss the Cleveland Browns" ever be more than the team name, the uniforms, the city and stadium they play in, or the type of game they play.
This unveiling is a big deal.
So, the app isn't working for the live broadcast.
I put it on TV, and they said they'd show them in 15 mins..
Thanks for the warning.. *changes channel*
I keep getting a message saying that the feed is unavailable both on the official site and the app.

Not a fan. Especially the brown jersey.
They're not bad, I just prefer the old ones.
I like them a lot.
And the "BROWNS" on the pants is awesome.
That whole "take coats off all at once" thing was poorly planned..
I was hoping the leaked images were fake, but apparently they were spot on.
Not too pleased in the new look. Whatever, just give me some wins.
Helmet looks like a normal glossy helmet based of the pics they posted on the app.
All three solids are legit.
Like the orange tops w brown pants too.
Helmet looks like a normal glossy helmet based of the pics they posted on the app.
Yeah. I'm disappointed in that..
I'm not sure which combo is my favorite.
Brown on Brown
Brown on Orange
Orange on Brown
White on White
Actually, I'm not a big fan of any of the combinations with a single White (top or bottom - though I think the White jersey looks okay with Brown pants).
Like this a lot. A little disappointed in the helm. Thought it would be something more metallic, but overall nice job.
I would be fine with never wearing the orange on orange combo.
I like them a lot.
And the "BROWNS" on the pants is awesome.
Typical for Browns fans I guess, that's the only thing I really don't like. LOL
All in all, I liked the fact that our "throwbacks" were essentially the same thing but these aren't terrible, just not my preference.
I'm glad my Groza jersey won't ever go out of style.
Cool. No grey. I can live with the change. Subtle. I like it.
I really, really like these a lot.
I was a little worried about what they'd come up with, although I was determined to like them anyway, but liking these takes no effort at all.
I even like the orange. I hated that the orange jerseys we had before didn't match the helmets. It just looked stupid. These good great.
The feed on the Browns site sucked. I thought it was just me, but evidently not.
The only combo I absolutely hate is the Brown Jerseys with White pants.
But I will put up with all of them with wins!
I like the Brown jerseys best. Tired of white on white.
Only one I absolutely hate is the Brown Jersey/ White pants.
I will put up with all of them with wins!
I think the white jersey brown pants look pretty good though.
I think my favorites from that picture are: (in order)
All brown
Orange Jersey with brown pants
All white
I love having "Cleveland" across the chest, and Browns down the leg. I am very pleased with the new uniforms.
Bring on the Super Bowl!
def dont hate them, thought maybe they might go bit crazy with the new uniforms, glad they didnt and brown on brown is def my favourite.
I would be fine with never wearing the orange on orange combo.
I like the white and brown jerseys, not much the orange jerseys and especially orange on orange...pretty bad. Poor Alex got the short straw apparently.
Agreed. The rest of the combo's looked just fine to me.
I don't really like the Orange Numbers.
I would be fine with never wearing the orange on orange combo.
Yeah, that's pretty bad. Poor Alex got the short straw apparently.
Well, that's what he gets for not signing a long term deal. A 2-yr opt out deal means you sport the all Orange.
Don't like the helmets. Man, I was wishing for the burnt metallic orange.
Combos. Pants first, jerseys second:
White/Brown: Don't like
Brown/Brown: Like a lot
Brown Orange: Don't like
Orange/Orange: I actually like it even though I hate the color orange.
Brown/White: Yuck
White/White: Like
Orange/Brown: Like
I like them... especially Cleveland on the jersey..Its a new look and a nice change... Time to move forward
All of the solids on solids look amazing, especially the Orange on Orange.
The all Brown would look soo good too if only...I really hate the white shadow numbers.
The white pants...they can go far far away.
LOVE the Orange On Orange and created this account just to profess my love for it!
Go Browns!
They all look pretty sweet except for the orange jerseys.
The Orange Nameplates.. And Orange numbers..
I dunno.. Just.. Dunno..
Whoa. There's a name we haven't seen in a while.
Where have you been hiding?
Not as awful as I had feared. I think if they took off the shadowing from the numbers I would actually like these.
I've been around, busy with life. But do still come here pretty often, just rarely post much anymore.
I actually like the highlighting/shadowing.
I like them. They look better on someone than they do just folded up or on the ground flat.
The Brown with Orange stitching is my favorite. The pants are sick.
Job well done.
What was the weird nerdy Nike guy talking about the lettering? Plated or some such?
I'm sure the older fans will hate the orange tops. And i'm sure most younger fans will really like them.
What's important to me is ORANGE PANTS ARE BACK!
This has to be the only thread with this many people in a long time, where everybody is not trying to verbally kill each other. Or should I just wait?...
I think most will hate the orange on orange. I literally don't understand how anyone can like them.
I see you just registered, welcome to the forums!
I think most will hate the orange on orange. I literally don't understand how anyone can like them.
Really?
I think they are the best uniform combos they have.

If you're a QB, I'm sure you can spot that easily in the corner of your eye lol...

Thanks! I was on the old browns.com forums for a long time, but have only lurked here.

Lots of us came here when they shut down (for the first time and then permanently on the second time), my name here was the same there. BUT, in any case - GO BROWNS!
Jeez, try to contain your excitement..
I think NFL Shop played this to a T, they have a free shipping promotion on orders over 50, of course a jersey is going to be over $50 lol!
Making that money for the NFL brethren is that Jimmy Haslam! Hahaha.
Like the unis - was hoping for something a little different with helmets... I actually wanted to see a bit more of a change but overall I like it
Jeez, try to contain your excitement..
LOL....I don't really care about the uniforms. I think they look fine.
I guess what I am saying is I am not going to complain about them. There has to be enough there to appeal to everybody. Right?
All's good!
I agree with furious... Really like them all except the brown jersey / white pants, which oddly enough was previously my favorite combo.
Agree with Steve ... the only one I "hate" is the brown jersey with white pants ... and I used to love those with our traditionals
I really, really like the Brown jersey/orange pants and orange jersey/brown pants.
Could take or leave the white jersey/brown pants and white jersey/orange pants
These new uni's exceed my expectations. The organization delivered on its promise to respect the team's roots while introducing a new energy. I like them all. Hope this success carries over to the on-field product.
Well done. Go Browns!
I also think they look pretty good. I'm a design guy and visuals generally do matter to me. I think they did a nice job. I have a few minor complaints but nothing to speak of. It is slightly more youthful and saturated overall and closer to monochromatic in each iteration. I love the block Cleveland name across the chest. Overall a B+, A-.
Now go win.
Not as good as I had hoped for, not as bad as I expected.
I have never been a fan of the brown pants but I like the white jerseys with brown pants the best followed closely by the brown jerseys with orange pants.
Bummed that there isn't a white jersey with orange pants combo.
Don't like the orange jerseys with any color of pant. The orange jerseys with brown pants look weird. I hope to never see the orange jerseys with orange pants again.
I wonder which they'll designate as their "home" jersey.. I'd assume the Brown..
And then if they are away, and the other team uses white, they could break out the orange..
Also for TNF and whatnot..
I don't really care if they're pink and blue as long as they start winning.
Winning is not as important as marketing. Come on, man........get your priorities straight.
On a separate note... Mingo is looking lean. Looks like a CB. Good for modeling threads, don't know how good that is for OLB.
Bummed that there isn't a white jersey with orange pants combo.
There is.
The more I look at them the more I like the brown jersey/orange pants and orange jersey/brown pants
I kind of wish they were our only two jerseys
yeah Hartline was wearing it.
I actually think they look pretty good. Normally I don't like jersey changes.
Then again, I don't really care-- just win.
Bummed that there isn't a white jersey with orange pants combo.
There is.
Came across that on cleveland.com
The guy was on the far right and got cut from the 1st photo I saw.
I don't particularly care for them. Used to be my favorite. Loved the Kardiac Kids version.
I could live without us wearing White Pants ever again..

He had offseason shoulder surgery. He'll get back in the gym. Don't worry.
I like them all. I know it's just uniforms, but something had to change.
Winning is the most important thing period, but to me the old uniforms became a reminder to many young fans of a horrible team. Us older guys understand the tradition, and IMO this in no way diminishes the past history. I look at it as a fresh start.
I believe the culture has started to change as far as player attitudes, and even though many don't think so, I believe this organization has a plan. They are building through the draft, and dding some nice pieces thru FA.
The play on the field, as far as attitude goes, reflects nicely on Pettine. I believe we have found our coach, now it is time to let the FO find their way. I truly believe that this team is on a up hill climb. It may be a slow one, but I think it is coming.
As for the uniforms, don't lie, I bet many of you were just like me, excited to finally see them. I know it is not much, but they are something to start a new image with. Now if they truly build a winner, we can look back at this day as part of the TRUE rebirth of the Browns.
Not really a fan of the all orange unis (reminds me of the Indians all red unis in the 70's). Hate the orange numbers on the brown and white jerseys. Love the pants. Could have been better...could have been worse. I'm not running out to buy any of them. Build a consistent winner and I'll think about spending my money.
I love that it says Browns down the pant leg. I also like the cleveland across the chest. Is their any other team that has the city name on the chest?

I asked my lady which she wanted, she said she likes the new white ones, and the old brown ones, and hates all the orange ones.. So I'm thinkng a new white #23 for her.

No.
The more I see those pants, the more I love them. It's really cool. Didn't realize the texture on them either.
Here is a question for you:
How many of you are going to buy the new jerseys/gear BEFORE the team starts winning?
I'll be buying a customized authentic/replica orange jersey.
I would, but my fiancee literally just bought me a brown authentic jersey with my name on it and...well, until that one gets more wear, I don't see a need to get a new one.
Here is a question for you:
How many of you are going to buy the new jerseys/gear BEFORE the team starts winning?
I don't only support my teams when they win.
And my lady doesn't have a jersey yet, so I will be getting her one of the new ones..
I will continue to rock my old style Brown Red Right 88 jersey.
I really don't like "CLEVELAND" on the jerseys...that's sooo college...The Browns on the sides look OK.
I do like the brown jerseys with the orange player's name.
Overall, I am pretty blah about them. Start winning and I can get over it.
Here is a question for you:
How many of you are going to buy the new jerseys/gear BEFORE the team starts winning?
I already have four Browns jerseys:
Personalized Brown
Personalized White
Edwards Orange ($15 used - I wear to Bears games)
Jurevicius Brown ($19 new - I wear for flag football games)
I actually rarely wear my two personalized jerseys. I might ride around the city on my motorcycle with them. If I bought another, my wife would kill me. I actually want more Browns T-shirts, I only have one of those.
Here is a question for you:
How many of you are going to buy the new jerseys/gear BEFORE the team starts winning?
I won't be.... I could care less what the uniforms look like. If they go 3-13 this year they will look awfully stupid for making such a big deal out of a uniform change.
Why did they have SO many difrerent unis? NINE? You only need TWO. Home and away. Hell, with all the different options they'll be wearing a different style every week.
Not as good as I had hoped for, not as bad as I expected.
I have never been a fan of the brown pants but I like the white jerseys with brown pants the best followed closely by the brown jerseys with orange pants.
Bummed that there isn't a white jersey with orange pants combo.
Oh but there is. They have a total of 9 color combinations. (though only 7 made the one picture)
I join in hugely disliking the brown jersey with the white pants. It just looks "bleh".
If I had to rank them, I would go:
1. All brown
2. All white
3. Orange jersey with brown pants
4. Brown jersey with orange pants.
5. Orange jersey with white pants
6. White jersey with orange pants
7. All orange
8. Brown jersey with white pants
9. White jersey with brown pants
hated the white, it was horrible, loved the brown jersey with both the orange and brown pants. By far my favorite. orange jersey was ok but the brown jersey was awesome
Some look good, some so-so. Fair enough?
J/C
I really like em. I like that they still come off feeling classic though still updated. The subtle orange stitching in the brown is slick. Though I wish they added white around the orange CLEVELAND.
Those shoulder strips are flat out horrible looking. orange jerseys? What are we the Cleveland Oranges? Oh, or maybe we want to become the tennesee vols =(
The Browns name being phased out too. I guess a Team name is in the works too... I know ... we will become the Cleveland Bulldogs ... to fit the mascot I guess.
I liked the old uniform much better.
New uniforms look red and brown. Wassup???
But if they win a Super Bowl in them, who gives a rat's patootie??
Not that I think the ARE going to win a Super Bowl in them ...

Who said the Browns name is being phased out? Conspiracy much?
And if we're changing our name to the Oranges because we have orange jerseys, should we also had been called the Whites in the past? We've had White jerseys a long freaking time.
Well, I was able to see 2 of the jerseys and that's it.
The orange jerseys, I prefer, and note that the shoulder stripes on the orange jersey are identical to the helmut stripe. That'll be great! It'll seem like 33 helmuts out there. Did the player lead with his helmut or his shoulder, they'll not be able to tell.
I want to see the orange jerseys often.
I' think I'd prefer, Orange jerseys for home, White jerseys for road, and Brown pants for both.
Maybe someday the photos will be available online.
If they go 3-13 this year they will look awfully stupid for making such a big deal out of a uniform change.
So, they should only make a big deal if they already know our record will be better than 3-13 next year?

At least you're consistent.

I guess I'm the downer - Frankenstein loves all the stitched together pieces that make the jersey.
Seal Brown and Burnt Orange have disappeared - Tangerine is the new orange.
Whomever said the orange is subtle needs to look up that definition.
'Cleveland' on the jersey - why? 'Browns' on the pants - not subtle. Maybe get them both going vertical so being on the ground is readily identifiable.
Change for change (and Marketing's) sake. Thanks to Mrs. Halsam for all her tasteful influence.
Go Tennessee.
After having the night to let the new uni's sink in, I guess I feel more underwhelmed than anything. I don't love them, I don't hate them. I think that there were multiple fan designs that were better.
Anybody look at the new uni's and think "OMG, these are awesome"?

If that was true wouldn't the name be changed to Bullmastiff's??
YESSSSSSS They made no changes to the designs they came up with. These jerseys are the same as I saw 6 months ago. Now I am still hoping that the orange pants and Brown jersey combo gets worn at least a half dozen times this year
It will be interesting to see which combo's they tend to wear, and when.

If you are looking at all of the videos with this comment, that would be because they apparently didn't do anything to help white balance any of the camera's. I haven't found a good video yet. For all of the talk about testing these on camera, you would think that they would give a chance for everyone to white balance their cameras. It's pretty easy to do, send someone up with a a white cue card before the event starts with the lights up and let them do their thing. If you wanted to get extra fancy, the flip side could have been the new orange color to just ensure that it looks right.
When I first saw the replicas, I cringed. I hated that it said "CLEVELAND" on the front and I didn't like how the jerseys looked on the shoulders.
Now, having seen the real thing with the entire uniform, I get it now.
I would rather it say "Browns" on the jersey and have a solid 3 stripe pattern down the pants, and I also think the brown jersey needed white numbers with orange shadows, but I see how it's cohesive and I'll take it.
My personal favorite part is the helmet with the textured stripes. It's going to pop on TV and in the stadium.
It kind of reminds me of how Nike does the Ohio State "night game" jerseys and I'm very ok with that.
I said the orange stitching on the Brown jersey was a subtle move
I absolutely love the jersey's and all the different color combinations.
I don't know that I'll buy one right away (as I JUST got a brand new Haden jersey) but in due time I will.
I wonder if the new jersey's will mean the NFL will feel inclined to give us a primetime game or two?
Growing Old Is Mandatory, Growing Up Is Optional.
I like the fact the legs didn't go all the way to the ankle.
Great sig. I choose to not exercise my rights on the latter.
The new color scheme reminds me of just how bad of an owner Randy Lerner was. The 2006 redesign (all on-field nonsense aside) set the team back decades.
The darker brown was good, but the more washed out orange, grey facemasks and black cleats looked horrible.
The new color scheme is definitely 2015 but it's still brown and orange in the end. The TV testing and stadium testing is going to go a long way toward making the entire uniform scheme look damn good on TV and in the stands.
All that being said, I doubt these jerseys are around for decades like the old jerseys. I can see another revision in 10 years maintaining the same general layout but with whatever evolves by then.
I really don't like "CLEVELAND" on the jerseys...that's sooo college...The Browns on the sides look OK.
I do like the brown jerseys with the orange player's name.
Overall, I am pretty blah about them. Start winning and I can get over it.
I really like the Cleveland across the front. Brown with orange letters are my favorites, will be ordering a Haden shortly in that version once I can find it in the Elite version.
I like the new uniforms. Some combinations are "meh". The big build up and "show" to introduce them was overkill, leaving me feeling like "will they help the team win? can they QB? will they send text during games?"
New Uniforms, check... now move on already.
Maybe I'm the only one, but I kinda wished they would have spent the entire half hour just introducing each jersey separately. Give us like 3 minutes to see it, have them zoom in to see details/colors, and then have them move onto the next one.
It was sensory overload to see all 9 guys at once ... I basically had to look online to "see" them
j/c
These would have been AWESOME in 2002. In 2015, not so much, they already look outdated and cheap. Should have either went completely modern or kept the traditional like Green Bay and Chicago. I like the additional color combo's but the rest of the execution completely missed. Browns down the side looks like some Victoria Secret's sweatpants, number font and shadows look like they are straight out of a Madden create a team.
Oh well, if we ever win, that is all that matters.
Best looking NCAA outfit in the Bigs. Three jerseys to sell.
"The opposite of "Winning ugly" is "Losing pretty." Sad to see this as the best. As a vendor, Nike is happy. Just overwhelmed by the indifference to this hoopla.
I'm still trying to digest how I feel about the uniforms. My snap judgments like some combo more than others. I like the all brown unis much like I did with the old ones.
I really like CLEVELAND on the front...loud and proud. I like Dawg Pound on the neckline as well. A constant reminder of how great the fans are and who are right behind you on Sundays.
BROWNS on the leg seems a little minor league for me. I'm not a big fan but its not turrible.
Glad to know that the orange will be a alternate jersey. My eyes kinda hurt starting at the all orange combo for too long...like the sun.
The fooled us on that gray!
Could have been better, could have been worse. The pants look good (no more solid brown ones). The orange numbers have to go. They look awful. Best looking jersey is the orange one (because of the white numbers) but it will be the alternate for 2 home games. Hopefully we will never see the all orange unis (reminds me of the Indians all red in the 70's). As long as the are consistently in the playoffs, no one will really care. I'm not running out to buy any of them. I'll stick to my classics. Or t-shirts.
I really like the new uniforms and I'll probably buy one for myself and some for the kids for birthdays and Christmas. New design, new color patterns, 9 different uniform combinations which is really cool because just like others by the 4th game I'm thinking to myself all white uniforms again? How boring, at least now they have different combinations.
For everyone out there that is complaining about them and the helmets, what should the browns have done different? I mean if you think about it what is our logo? Orange, Brown, and White on a helmet. That is our logo, it's not a dog, it's not an elf, our logo is basically 3 colors. If the Browns would have came out with a wild and radical uniform design with grey in it and bolts or stripes people would have complained we didn't keep the Browns tradition or it looks like a XFL team or the Bengals with the stripes, etc.
I think with what they had to work with they incorporated a lot of cool stuff in the new uniforms and made them more modern. We are the only jersey with the city's name on the front of it, Dawg Pound is on the inside collar, etc.
I don't think all of the promotion and hype was necessary but it's Haslam's money if he wants to spend it on promoting the Browns then that's fine with me, he should put on a live event every weekend and let fans come and hang out with the players!

Had something funny happen about a 1/2 hour ago..
Was at Papous Tap and Grill to get lunch. The waitress (who is NOT a browns fan) said that one of her friends sent her a email with the All Orange unis next to an Orange Traffic Barrel. I can't get that image out of my mind LOL
The fooled us on that gray!
Man, that's for sure. I kept reading that brown was out as a main color, and that gray was in. I was braced for gray. Then I saw brown, standing tall and proud on that stage, and was really happy.

I guess I don't understand why that would be a bad thing? Is it the connection to traffic? What if I created a picture of a Chiefs jersey next to a Stop sign, a Jets jersey next to a field of grass, or a Colts jersey to a post office box?
Just because the color may match something we see elsewhere, is that a negative?

Didn't Joe Thomas (and I'm paraphrasing) say he didn't like the orange and white because he didn't want to look like a construction cone?
The only thing I heard Joe say was that he liked the all brown uniforms the best.
The way I look at, our QBs have no excuse for not seeing our receivers since they are now wearing "hunter orange".
The Browns name being phased out too.
Marketing department and JH flunkies already been doing exploratory polling regarding that...

I like them... all of the combos look good!
Now just go out there and win already
I must admit I was worried. However, I think they hit a delicate balance just fine. They changed it enough to appeal to younger fans, without going over the top to offend the older, more tradition based fans.
I believe they did a great job and I'm very pleasantly surprised.
I am too. I actually find myself liking them even more the more I look at them.
I still don't like the brown jersey with white pants though. (which I would have had as one of my favorites going into this who change process)
New uniforms, but WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY 100 combinations? WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY???????????????????????

That's just silly.
Are they so desperate, they need to sell 3 or 4 different jerseys?

91.
And the Browns have three, not four jerseys to sell.
Plus, most NFL teams have three jerseys to sell. If that makes the Browns desperate, then every other NFL team is just as desperate.
JMO, but the orange-on-orange must NEVER be worn. I always liked the brown jerseys on white pants best, but I must say, I don't like the orange 3-D numbers on the brown jerseys. Other than that, I think the uni's are okay.
The only jerseys I'd like to see us wear:
white over white (1/2 of AWAY)
white over brown (1/2 of AWAY)
brown over orange (3/4 of HOME)
orange over brown (ALT HOME)
that's it
I like the Brown Jersey over the White Pants - looks the most traditional. I don't like any of the other combinations. Then again, all of them are better looking than the Steeler bumblebee uniforms
If they go 3-13 this year they will look awfully stupid for making such a big deal out of a uniform change.
"Complain if they did."

At least you're consistent.
"Complain."
On the other hand.....
Praise if they win [they don't]
Praise if they lose [they do]
At least you are consistent.

I like the jerseys for the most part. Disappointed with the helmet, could have done so much more with it. Metallic or fish scale would have been better. I think in the end, the browns just didn't want to alienate the "older" generations. Browns down the side of the pants is a nice twist, and I like the CLEVELAND across the front. The shoulder stripes at first struck me as awkward, but they are growing on me.
Not a big fan of the orange on orange. All other combinations look pretty solid.
I love that orange top/brown pants combo. I thought for the most part all the combinations look good. I'd like to see the jerseys in person, and how they look on the field too.
This change was needed badly. Yes, obviously the more important issue is fixing our QB situation and run defense, but I just love how some of these fans are having this take that you either care about jerseys or you care about winning. Apparently you can't handle both. Just unreal. I think some Browns fans just want to watch the world burn.
A few nice, clean shots (pics) of the new uniforms, then our old ones, just to compare them to. Now I'm thinkin' some of the new ones look better? I'm not certain. I think when they are all on the field wearing them it will be easier to tell?
http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-shutdo...-000912750.html
After a few days of soaking it in, I think my favorite color combo is the brown jersey with orange pants.

No doubt about it IMO ... and it isn't close
I don't want to ever see the brown on white, white on brown, orange on white, or white on orange
I'm just glad the new uniforms aren't fugly. I like them, with the exception of the orange jerseys. I'm more into the traditional look, and I've always been proud that no one will buy a Browns jersey unless they're a Browns fan. Let the steelers, raiders, jaguars, and others have their jerseys bought for fashion.
Gotta say I love the new look! They would look even better with some W's to back'em up! Woof Woof
I don't like "CLEVELAND" on the jerseys. It's not needed and it looks college. I do like the Browns on the sides though. Am I alone?
I don't like "CLEVELAND" on the jerseys. It's not needed and it looks college.
Actually, I went to look at a few other NFL jerseys, most have a name or alternate logo right under the collar and above the numbers. So, it's not really "college", unless you're saying that because its the city/state name.
The NFL jerseys I saw have the team name, not the city, and none are as big as ours, but go look at the Patriots, Broncos, Redskins, Titans, Rams, 49ers, Chargers, Eagles, Giants ("NY" logo), Cards, Falcons, Vikings, Dolphins, Texans, Lions, Cowboys, Bengals ("B" logo), and Ravens. Those all have their team name or alternate logo in the same location.
It's funny, Wilbon RIPPED the new jerseys a few days ago. He said it's so bush league to have your team name or city on the uniform as if the player forgot who they were playing for. Yet, most have it there. He just can't stand the Browns.
I love having Cleveland on the front of the jerseys. I think it's a great touch, and I love that we are the first NFL team to do so. (and watch, as other teams redo their uniforms, others will follow suit)
I love the Cleveland and browns on the jersey/pants. I love the orange the best too.
We are already unique to have a helmet with no logo. May as well be unique to have the city on our chests Dawg Pound on their neck and Browns on their legs.
These uniforms are awesome.. I like them all...Going to be an expensive offseason buying them all...lol. Only thing i wish is they went with like a Matte orange helmet with black masks
I'm just relieved that these new unis got decent treatment, and that our team won't look clownish when they take the field.
It's a nice updating that didn't go too far afield... I can easily live with them.

Hey, Punch- I could have predicted that Wilbon would hate them, just because they were something (anything) about CLE.... what did Kornheiser think?
Tony didn't like them because he thought we were one of the few NFL teams that should never change. Something along the line of, "what they had were classics and shouldn't ever change." But he wasn't mean about it.
Wilbon unleashed. He went off about us being useless, the worst franchise in sports, no reason to ever be talked about, and how our new uniforms are the worst things EVER. Of course, he doesn't follow those same rules when he constantly talks about the Cubs. They can add a video scoreboard, not have enough bathrooms for the opener, sign $155m starters that can't throw to 1st base, and be terrible for over 100 years....but talk about them with respect, admiration, and insist every thing they do is trying to improve the team and fan experience. Just annoying. Oddly enough, Tony called him out the day after the jersey unveiling about him crushing us without mercy.
And I like Wilbon in general. He has traditionally supported all things Cleveland. I guess the recent Haslam+Textgate+Manziel+Handling of Hoyer+jerseys just pushed him over the edge. He'd probably fit right in with a few on this board.
He seems to get unraveled about a few topics and can't see how crazy he sounds. I know we're all like that (me with Pete Rose, the Steelers and AP).
I have decided I am not a fan of the "Browns" down the pant peg. The stripes we used to have were much better. Also, the old jersey sleeves we had were better as well.
While there are things I like about the new uniforms, I think we made a downgrade.
And I like Wilbon in general.
I do too... until he starts talking about the Browns. And he's been consistent over the years-
[in my best Darth Vader voice]: "the hate is strong in this one."

PTI used to be one of my favorite shows. Wilbon is now literally a troll. There are certain subjects (analytics for example) that he is unwilling to entertain and will disparage every chance he gets. The show is unwatchable because of him.
Kornheiser is the best. He is what makes the show (and always has been). You can put literally anyone else out there with him and the show would be great.

I agree Wilbon always seems to have an axe to grind about something and is so obvious about his personal bias, ( and I don't mean just Cleveland), I have basically quit watching it.

You might be on to something Y....
Now, you are swaying my opinion...

I refuse to buy new NFL apparel so this is good for me. Used stuff should hit the market on the cheap.
Time to upgrade my Courtney Brown Jersey. Or, as I've amended it with a little white paint: Browns 92.

I have 10 Tim Couch jerseys if you are interested...
I think that PT Barnum was right when he said there is "an ass for every seat."
Let's get excited about uni changes and TC location changes and let's ignore textgate, coaches wanting out, players wanting out, polls stating that Cleveland is one of the least desirable places to play, seven straight losing season, multiple first round draft busts, etc, etc......
..........and say...........hey, we got new uniforms and I'm gonna buy a game jersey.
Take a seat...........
People enjoy different things, yo. How does it matter how people show their fandom? Does it matter that every fan doesn't overanalyze the decisions like we do on here?
Let people enjoy it. Go make some lemonade with your lemons.

You forgot about us not drafting Teddy.

does anyone know when you can order custom jerseys? I am going to get a new jersey with my own name and number on it tired of buying a new jersey every other season because the players either leave or bust.
i think a thomas, haden, bitonio, or gipson are the only safe bets to purchase
The way I see it is if a player can retire a Brown (whether he left or not)and his retirement actually has some significance....His jersey is worth buying. Thomas and Haden are perfect examples. Or if say I had already had a Cribbs or Dawson Jersey. Cribbs because he actually still has records with this team and Dawson just because. Not saying to buy a Cribbs or Dawson Jersey but if I had one Id still sport it. Wouldnt be wearing a like a Trent Dilfer jersey or anything if you know what I mean, lol
i think a thomas, haden, bitonio, or gipson are the only safe bets to purchase
Oh...... So, you're saying that I should NOT have ordered Manziel's in all three colors?

ahhh, yes. Those can be fixed too. Just cover up the first letter:
"Ouch" #2

I wouldn't even advise you to purchase a $1.00 trading card of Johnny

What if it came with a piece of gum?

That makes it much more tempting Dawg_LB. I only have 3 jerseys and two were gifts. I might buy one of the new jerseys.
I have my custom Red Right 88 jersey. Brown.
A white #34 Droughns jersey, that I got when he was the first RB to break 1000 yards in forever.. I just got a MACK replacement nameplate in the mail..
I also have a Brown #80 Winslow jersey that I got at Goodwill for $3.99

Currently I only have my Joe Thomas jersey. Thinking about getting either a Haden or Whitner jersey, more leaning towards Haden.
I think I might go ahead and get one of the orange jerseys. The tough decision is who I might end jinxing and causing them to miss the season.
It has worked well with all of the bobbleheads I have. Every. Single. One... Traded or hurt for a significant period.
put FARMER on it
