hoorta Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 Just like it would never happen that The Cleveland Browns would move to Balt, just like the Balt Colts would never leave and go to Indy. Just like the Saints would never win a Super Bowl. I have never been wrong about the Browns on what is coming up. I said a million times that I have some inside info on what the Browns are wanting to do. Wanting to do, and will do are two different things. Lerner has final say does he not? In my lifetime, the orange helmet is the "brand". And don't you think the ever "brand conscious NFL" would do a little "Market Survey" with the fanbase before doing a massive makeover to gauge it's potential acceptance? I may be wrong, but I'd say lead balloons and pigs have a better chance of getting airborne than a massive Browns uni makeover. I'll grant you this- and Ghoolie brought it up way back when. 1999 when football returned to Cleveland if they had renamed the team "Cleveland Rockers, or Lakers" all would have been cool to a uniform change. Forget the 1995 Mantra, our name, our team, our colors? And incidentally, Silver isn't one of them. Lerner wants to get run out of town on a rail, go ahead- it won't work, he's made enough stupid decisions already- but this one would be the straw that broke the camel's back. Those "new" Denver Donkey unis still make me want to puke every time I see them. PS Nike can blow me if they want to turn every NFL team into the Oregon Ducks, and it still wouldn't be worth it.

I beleive I already said this, but they are going to bring it out for one game next yr to judge fan reaction, like the Brown pants. They really want to spice it up/ it might be a pre season game, do not know. I do know they want to show off the Helmet at the Draft. we will see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gipper Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 Lets fave the facts, The Cleveland Browns are not winning any most popular team contest. NFL fans really could care less about the Browns. A Couple of reasons 1. Losing Record 11 of the past 12 yrs 2. No Big Names that the Fans can get behind (like Rodgers, Ray Lewis, AP, Etc, Etc) 3. Not growing fan base- People are leaving Cleveland as fast as they can. Example: My brother left Cleveland and moved to Florida when he was 20 he is a hardcore Browns, Buckeyes, Tribe, Cavs fan like myself. His daughter who is 16 yrs old is a big sports fan (great softball player) When ask who her fav teams are she says Florida Gators and Tampa Bay Bucs. People ask how your Uncle and Dad are huge Cleveland Fans, she says why would I root for the Browns and Buckeyes when I do not live there and never have been there. Point is there is A LOT OF KIDS OUT THERE THAT THINK THE BROWNS ARE A JOKE. This Generation is key for the Browns (2-18 yrs old) to build there fan base. 4. Uniform lacks what 2010 and beyond is all about. People want to wear something that they think is "Cool" 5. Really people who care a tradition is people who have not won anything. You think the New England, Balt, Pitt, Green Bay care about what the team did 50 yrs ago. of Course the players will say they do, because they do not want to piss of the old timers in football. 6. ALOT OF PEOPLE HAVE NEVER SEEN JIM BROWn. To us hes the greatest running back ever, but ask a Bears fan who is the greatest? What can we do to pump up the Browns 1. Start winning DUHHHHH This will piss off people, but some do not know the complete history of the Browns. Ready....Change the UNIFORM. What a lot of people do not know is that the Browns use to have 2 helmets..Solid white (1946–1949); solid white for day games and solid orange for night games (1950–1951); orange with a single white stripe (1952–1956); orange with a single white stripe and brown numerals on the sides (1957–1959); orange with a brown-white-brown stripe sequence and brown numerals on the sides (1960); orange with a brown-white-brown stripe sequence (1961–1995 and 1999–present). If the Browns went to more of a updated look, we will draw the younger generation. Kids DO NOT WANT TO WEAR BROWN. The Browns are working on a change. It might piss some people off, but this is what it is. As soon as my "resource gets me a pic" I will get on here, helmet- silver with 1 orange stripe down the middle and 2 Brown stripes next to it. On the side of the Helmet will be a "B" yes it will have a logo. Orange Socks Pants will be same color as helmet with Brown strip highlighted with Orange, Jerseys will will be more modern as well, Silver replacing the white look, with more Brown and Orange stripes down the side, They will have a VERY DARK BROWN for there other Jersey with same striping (replace the Brown with Silver) What it sounds like they will introduce the new helmet and Jersey at the NFL draft. I know some of the old timers will bepissed and I am sure they will tell how stupid it is, but the fact is you are not getting any younger. These kids are ones who are buying the uniforms and gear the Cleveland Browns EVERY TEAM GOES THRU CHANGE. It is coming, so get use to it. You will still root for the Browns because that is your Love. They will just look a little different thats all Pure, unadulterated ignorance. What people want is a winning football team. All the rest of your rant is pure crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cysko Kid Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 Why not just copy the longhorns uniform? They could keep roughly the same colors, colt would feel better and wed look like what we play like, a college team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

San Diego Denver New England Tampa Bay Jets Giants Bills Lions Eagles Falcons So why not us?

I hate the brown jerseys. Kudos to Holmgren for going with the whites this year. I have a white #80 Andre Rison jersy that I still wear and a brown #80 Winslow jersey. They were both given to me as gifts and guess which one I wore the most? I NEVER wore the Winslow jersey. I would rather they wore orange jerseys than brown. Hell, I would rather see them come out in highlighter green with pink numbered jerseys than the brown. No other team in the league even has a HINT of brown in their team colors.

BrownsKidd Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Nike has an NFL contract starting next year. If we ever were to see a change for the Browns then it would happen this offseason. But I don't expect it to be very drastic at all. As much as I love uniforms like Oregon and Maryland, I just don't think it fits the Browns. I did this mock up a few months ago, keeping the same tradition but mixing it up. I like the idea of a different helmet, but I was thinking Brown with matte paint. Maybe white and orange stripes, white numbers on the sides, and brown facemask? a paint finish similar to what Wyoming wears. I love these. Nothing wrong with something new and a side of tradition to go with it. These are very sharp and make our colors wearable. Is it a magic fix, absolutely not, but it helps. I remember playing soccer in High School and we go new uni's my freshmen year, and tell ya what, it does help bring out a little more confidence when you like how you look. But the biggest cure will be winning, hands down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awwww poor little younger generation needs to have flashy uniforms to get behind their team! Too effin' bad! It's football! Not a fashion show! If you're not going to support your hometeam, along with the name history and colors that Cleveland Browns fans fought to keep, then go cheer for another team!
