sealbrownandorange Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 If the gunmetal gray rumor is true, I wonder if they will have them for pants only, and possibly ditch the brown pants. Brown-Orange-White jerseys and Orange-Gunmetal-White pants.Is it a foregone conclusion that the gunmetal gray will be used as a jersey and/or pant color as part of this set? When I heard about, I assumed it would be an accent color or a numeral color - utilized like the silver (gray?) in the Pro Bowl uniforms below...BTW, its just my opinion, but I would be okay with the uniforms above as the new set, including a full-color helmet logo on the sleeves in place of stripes...

Teal Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Have the Browns ever had orange pants before?In the 80s and the early 2000s.Oh ok, cool thanks. Jaguars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas718 Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 So a plain jersey with the sleeve stripes extended onto the front is considered "modern" ? I guess "CLEVELAND" was added because with these crazy new jerseys and the radically changed helmet, some people might not recognize them anymore.

If these are the real jerseys, kudos to the Browns and Nike for keeping it simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDGP Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 I'm starting to think that grey being a part of the scheme is extremely unlikely. From everything we've seen, grey isn't a part of the color scheme whatsoever. It doesn't make much sense to have a helmet with absolutely no grey, a jersey with absolutely no grey, and then grey pants... If they were to do it, it'd look terrible. If they follow common sense, wouldn't they not be allowed to use grey in the alternate because it isn't a color on the primary uniforms? I feel like the NFL wouldn't allow a color to be in the "color scheme" but not used on anything but an alternate.Also, as someone said before, the Vikings were guaranteed to have grey as a part of their uniform, and that didn't happen. Of course, this is all based on common sense, so knowing the Browns, they'll wear random grey pants. I've got a dribbble, check it out if you like my stuff; alternatively, if you hate my stuff, send it to your enemies to punish their insolence!

Tigers6884 Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Am I the only one who's ticked off by the over abundance of orange in this redesign? They're the Cleveland Browns , not the Cleveland Oranges!They aren't named after the color, they are named after Paul Brown Yet they have a long history of wearing brown as their primary color. To suddenly decide that they're an orange-first team now would be dumb regardless.At least somebody understands what I was saying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, fools, we realize that. But the word "brown" is still a color, and it would be dumb for a team called the Browns to *not* prominently feature brown (i.e. orange helmets with primary orange jerseys). If someone made a concept of the St. Louis Blues in green and orange, it would get trashed equally. Take into account the fact that the Browns have worn brown jerseys for their entire history (when they weren't wearing white at home), and it's even more silly to picture a rebrand which makes them an orange-first team.

If these are the real jerseys, kudos to the Browns and Nike for keeping it simple.Not mad, just saying that after the joke of a logo change they said the uniforms were going to be a lot more modern. I'm not seeing that in these jerseys. I never thought the uniforms needed to be changed, so if this is the actual jersey then I'm fine with it. But to call it modern is a bit of a stretch.

pluggerplugger1 Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Awesome update on the jerseys. That top-shadow on the numbers is subtle and goes well with the overall look, too. Not too tacky like the giant drop-shadows of the 90's. I'm not so sure about those stripes, but I'll reserve judgement for the actual reveal date. I like what we've seen so far, though.

Island_Style Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 If that is it, I'll allow it. My only complaint is the wordmark gives it a generic vibe, but pleased they kept the design tame. I hope brown is still the main jersey color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
