02Rover Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 Not sure if this is going to be a full time change or a once or twice a year change, but the Browns owner Randy Lerner was looking at different throwbacks on NFL Network last night.99% of Browns fans would prefer a change to something like this to a change to the garish, horrid orange jerseys of years past.Current look:The changes are very close to the classic Jimmy Brown-era unis:Changes Lerner was looknig at: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hormone Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 First of all, how much different is that jersey? All it really seems to be missing is the wordmark and most importantly.....UGH!! THE DREADED GRAY MASK!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STL FANATIC Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 That would be a horribly pointless alternate. Only real difference is the lack of brown stripes on the sleeves and the grey facemask.And if they are looking at that as a fulltime thing, then it'd be a downgrade.

rmackman Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 It seems like "Gray Mask Disease" is starting to take over in place of "Black Jersey Disease".

02Rover Posted November 25, 2005 Author Share Posted November 25, 2005 It seems like "Gray Mask Disease" is starting to take over in place of "Black Jersey Disease". Grey masks do have a history for some teams, and for the game in general. The Browns used to wear them. Most of the teams that return to them had worn them at some time in the past.I dont think its on par with unnecessary black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think EVERYONE had grey masks at some point, but that doesn't mean it looks good. As far as UGLY goes I think it is on par with the black. "Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up.

MarkAtnip Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 I for one have NO problem with the grey mask color. It's better than some of the supposed "matching" masks that have made appearances over the last few years. Gray masks are unobtrusive and really call no attention to themselves as opposed to teams that have bright white masks on dark helmets or worse yet, accent colors.

lilgump Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 Personally, I think the only reason the browns helmet looks any good without a logo on it is because it just looks plain good with a white facemask. Grey facemask=notsomuch. The World Basketball Championship, the Davis Cup, Ryder Cup, Iraq: Every day there's further proof that we, as a nation, are not very good at international competition.

FiddySicks Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 I think that the grey facemask looks ok on most teams, like the Colts and Cardinals, but i feel that certain teams desperately need a colored facemask, like the Patriots and 49ers.

Sodboy13 Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 You know, everyone wore unstriped, tan canvas pants at one time, too. Quite a bit of precedent and history with those.Let's go back to that then, shall we?And while we're at it, bring back rotary phones!*cough* On 1/25/2013 at 1:53 PM, 'Atom said: For all the bird de lis haters I think the bird de lis isnt supposed to be a pelican and a fleur de lis I think its just a fleur de lis with a pelicans head.

DGivens87 Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 Yeah, kind of a pointless change.But if they're gonna do it, they should put the numbers on the sleeves IMO. Gray facemask? I guess it's ok...some teams can get away with it (Colts), some teams can't (Cardinals).They should also go back to the striped socks too. I think a general rule of thumb is that if you have stripes on your sleeves, you should wear striped socks. Creates better symmetry, IMO.

GeorgesL Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 I think the only change I would make with the Browns' uniforms is to return to the original stripes on the pants, 2 orange stripes with the brown stripe in the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STL FANATIC Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 Grey facemasks look okay on white and silver helmets. However, when they are on white helmets, it's still a mistake to use them if they aren't part of the color scheme, and especially if they don't fit the jersey design (see Cardinals). They also look okay when grey is part of the color scheme (see Giants).When grey isn't part of the color scheme, grey facemasks have absolutley no place though. NONE. I'll say it again, tradition should only make a great look better, not keep a bad one around.Grey on orange specifically looks AWFUL.
