BBTV Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 I guarantee they don't think they made a mistake yet. If they did, they would have just cancelled or delayed the project before the final sign off. They won't thijk it's a mistake until after they unveil them (unless they actually are good.)

There is now a track record with the Nike Redesigns.Vikings: AMiami: A-/B+Seattle: BJacksonville: D+/DTampa Bay: D+/DI think they can look at what Nike has come up with, and place the new uniforms somewhere comparable. They can look at the mock ups and think "ok... we have a custom font, it has a little flair, but nothing crazy like the Buccaneers. We have the addition of a non-traditional color, but its not overbearing, good. Our shoulder/stripe pattern is completely non-traditional and nothing similar in the NFL, not so good of a choice considering our fan base."

WSU151 Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Agreed with the two posts above...there's no way they went through this process and signed off on everything, then one day in January, prior to any unveiling, thought "The decisions we made were terrible". You'd have to think the organization thinks the new uniforms are pretty sweet. . Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

mmajeski06 Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Has there ever been a moment in the entire Browns history that they've used the phrase "the decisions we made were terrible"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you graded on a curve all of these would get bumped up I guess a grade.Vikings: B To many mistakes to be a great gradeMiami: D The reduction of Orange alone brings this way downSeattle: C To many inconsistencies Jacksonville: F Nothing I would keep on the whole uniformTampa Bay: F Same goes for this one My Fictional Football League Version 3 My Fictional Football Leagues WebsiteMy Church Website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckeye Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 I doubt it, but I wonder if it's possible these new uniforms will be on the new Nike template that the college teams wore in the playoff, or do they stay consistent with the previous one.

Fifty8_Black O Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 As far as I know there's only one Nike NFL uniform template- Elite 51. I don't think they're going to change the template in waves the way they do in college. I'd assume it'd be all or nothing, so I can't see the Browns having anything other than an E51.

buckeye Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 I'd actually prefer they keep the E51 anyway, to me it just looks better aesthetically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayMac Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 I'll throw my $.02 in here with my Nike grades....Vikings: B...much better than the previous set but the numbers are terrible Dolphins: B-...I miss the old logo but for some reason I love the new aqua.Seahawks: C+...I don't like them being predominantly navy and it is by far their worst uniform in franchise history. However, it has grown on me a bit. Maybe a little bias has crept in.Jags: E...for effort? The helmet is atrocious. The uniforms are forgettable. Bucs: F...Honestly, what were they thinking? The oversized logo on the helmet? The awful numbers? All huge downgrades.So...my prediction for the Browns is not good. I feel they may keep the classic logo-less helmet intact. I'm very afraid of what will be done to the uniform though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mach Speed looks great and the sweat stains are on the sides instead of the front and belly. If tehy roll out a word mark on the front though they'll probably stick to the Elite 51's.

Diamond Dweller Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 It's gonna really peeve me off when the Browns' new set isn't quite as big of a trainwreck as the Jaguars or Buccaneers (I think Nike will make the ugliness a little subtler for a traditional team) and people give it a free pass because of that.

All but the buccaneers were upgrades IMO. But a good point in that there's a chance these come out somewhat like the Dolphins design (nothing to crazy, pretty simple uniform with a unique number type, etc) and they get rave reviews because they don't suck to the level that some think the recent designs do. I think, because of the team and the fact they're the only ones getting new sets this year, this has a chance to immediately be everyone's favorite Nike set or least favorite set with little middle ground.

I wouldn't be surprised if they upgrade the template this year.They were just paying homage to the Jaws of the Husky Stadium & tusks of the Razorbacks! However the Nike spill on this one is that the "spikes" represent the pro bowl players coming together as one team the spikes are pointing inward to show the heart of an All-Pro!

infrared41 Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Call me crazy but this Brown doesn't look bad! Just needs some brown in place of the gray.My first thought when I saw those Pro Bowl uniforms was "there's the Browns new look. " The Browns going with something similar wouldn't be good by any measure, but if my choices are that or something like Tampa Bay's disaster, I'll take the Pro Bowl look.
