White helmets

I never knew where did the orange comes from. Thanks for the info. 

On the white helmet... I think that I could stand a brown helmet to match the brown jerseys and white pants, but I'm not keen on other combinations.

I like the white facemask followed by the grey......just think how close we were to NO facemasks at all in the 1990s!

GO BROWNS!

I would not be a fan of a white helmet. 

Ditto Mark. I was well aware watching the old film clips of Otto Graham that the Browns did have a white helmet- way back. But the orange helmet with no logo is such a mainstay, I can't believe they'd mess with it after 60+ years...

I actually like the brown face mask.. it looks badass instead of Wimpy white!

White reminds me of the rather exciting Kosar years......but the Sipe years were also quite exciting. I did grow up watching the successful late 1950s and early 1960s Jim Brown years.

GO BROWNS!

I could see us wearing a white helmet, with a orange facemask, and the helmet stripes could be one orange and two brown. I would like to see that combination. I actually did a home made custom BROWNS  McFarlane figure with a white helmet, orange facemask and the helmet stripes.

Loved the grey facemasks, like the brown ones more than I thought I would, pretty meh on the white facemasks. Always thought they looked like they were made of cheap plastic. 

A white helmet would most likely make the Browns look like the Miami Hurricanes, just switch out dark green for brown.

What a great post. Thanks for sharing! 

White helmets? Heck no. I actually think I like our current ones. In fact, I haven't even SEEN a proposed design that I remotely like. I'd be shocked if we change it.

Would be a cool throwback...

... but only if we can use the white ball as well.

If anyone could screw up the helmets, it would be the Haslams.

Hillbilly decor and style isn't really appealing... Everytime I see the titans or the Jaguars unis.. And TBays I wanna puke!

Exactly!   

Although our most recent turnover differential from "see ball - get ball" implied they're finally seeing the brown ball.   Now if we can just get everyone to keep their heads up long enough to tackle people with that ball - we just might put an end to the musical Defensive Coordinators series.   1 "Horton Hears a Boo + 65,000 more" was enough but of course we got the encore. When you rehire a dumpster fire just to make sure he's really flammable - you can't expect the fans to be reasonable from the unreasonable circumstance you just sentenced them to.  

Jimmy has as much summer school in him as I do when it comes down to how long it takes him to get it.  That's probably because he's just as impatient as me.  Having said all that above, I REALLY do think Jimmy WANTS to win if anyone ever bothers to look into how his passion intercepted a Manning family tradition at Ole Miss with Jimmy's private plane ride.  While Peyton never beat Florida or won a National Championship - he was such a recruiting attraction that UT won the National Championship the year after he graduated.  While the NFL is a different animal with a bigger learning curve, I think Jimmy leapfrogged ego and unicorn to give himself the honest self eval necessary for better program planning.  The last draft and off season reflected that as well as putting someone else with more evolved hiring criteria in charge of latest Head Coaching search. Big reason we didn't end up with Adam Gase after his good buddy Peyton blew that in Jimmy's ear. He also listened to Dorsey when it was time for a mercy flush on Hue.   

Back to our topic.  Rumor has it the color orange works better for Jimmy than viagra when he wants the thing between his thighs to make his Levi's rise.  That being the case, I think we're safe with the orange helmets for awhile.  As always, stay tuned...

We should have football colored helmets, jerseys, facemasks and gloves so we can hide the ball better. Worked well when Texas switched from bright orange to burnt orange jerseys under DKR. Made QB James Street running the wishbone look like a magic man.

Love the white helmet look myself..... just as long as the rest of the uni wasn't designed by Mrs. Smith's 2nd grade class like the current uni was.

Really!?    You had her too in 2nd grade?!   (my 2nd grade teacher was Mrs. Smith...in New England)   I didn't like her.  Once I had to go stand in the cloak room.  At lunch, my father came into the school wondering where I was.  When he saw me in the cloak room this big smile came across his face....as he knocked on the classroom door.  (she said that she forgot I was in there)

.....now back to regularly scheduled programming.

Maybe they're just trying to make us miss the best uniforms in the league D...  If so, YAHTZEE!

Flugel's secret, not to be confused with Victoria's, the current uniforms don't look bad when you drink beer. 

If that doesn't work, we can always just look at the uniform of the other Ohio Team in the AFC North to feel better about our's. The Bengals helmets look like they were designed by some 1st grade Cincitucky art class finger paint session gone wrong.
