    The hill I'll die on is the should swap grey, white and brown facemasks depending on combos. Grey with brown jersey/white pants, white with brown/orange & white/orange, brown with white throwbacks & any time the insist on brown pants.

     

    I can live with that.

    Why would they need special dispensation to wear an orange facemask??

     

    That's what I thought. It's also why I said "take this with a grain of salt." Maybe I should have used a bigger font and put it in bold.

    Yeah Reflog is a Cleveland sports fan account that usually just posts memes. He's not connected to the team and I wouldn't use him as a source for uniform news. Orange facemasks make so sense. Especially since ownership already confirmed a few seasons ago that white was coming back at some point.

     

    White facemasks are already back.

    Given that the account in question on that Browns facemask lists themself as a parody in their bio, I'm going to assume there is no orange facemask. 

     

    He's also a co-host on a pretty popular podcast in Cleveland. I'm not saying he's right, thus my "take it with a grain of salt" disclaimer, but he's not a guy who just makes things up for engagement. His Browns news is pretty legit.

    I hope that, if this is true, it is only for certain games and not full-time. It might be kind of cool for the Browns to match their facemasks to their pants. 
     

    If they are trying to switch to orange facemasks full-time, then that simply proves that Browns still gonna Browns. 

     

    Best I can tell, the orange masks are only going to be an alternate.  For now, anyway.

     

    That said, the Browns are always gonna Browns. 'Twas ever thus.

    Hell, why not have different animals for different stadiums? Thanksgiving afternoons would certainly be spiced up with a lion on the field. 

     

    Let's make it interesting and allow the road teams to bring their animal too. Tell me Panthers - Lions wouldn't be a straight up banger. Then again, Rams - Jaguars could get pretty ugly. Bears - Bengals would be an epic battle. I guess we'd need a tank for the Dolphins. Turning an eagle and a falcon loose in a domed stadium could be fun. Teams without animal names can opt for using the gorilla.

    As long as the Bucs can shoot off real cannon balls from their ship, I’m good with it. 

     

    Only if they have no idea where the cannon balls are going to go. Aiming takes all the fun out if it. Let's keep it equal and random.

    Besides - what are the Browns going to do - excavate and bring out Paul Brown's skeleton for a play?  To let the defenders throw his bones at the other QB?

     

    I don't see the problem with this.

    Weather satellites and technology are better, not tv meteorologists. They just relay us what the Weather Channel is telling them. Their only real talent is being able to work a green screen backwards.

     

    Where did I say that local TV weather hairdos are good at forecasting weather? I said weather forecasting is better and it is.

    So now we're cancelling games because of "forecasted" weather...I miss the old days when the call was made on the actual gameday.

    If it ends up being nice and sunny, then it was called for nothing...

     

    Weather forecasting is much better now than it was in the "old days." For example, last week a meteorologist I follow on YouTube said that Minneapolis was going to get blasted by snow this week. Guess what happened in Minneapolis this week. It snowed. A lot.

     

    If the forecast says there is a 99% chance of rain and the radar shows that it's 99% going to rain, what exactly are we waiting for? I like that teams are being proactive and not making fans waste their time sitting around for 4 hours in the rain to see if the game gets called.

    The returners can only move once they catch the ball or the gorilla is within 5 yards of them, in which case they must run towards the gorilla, to make the catch. This will be known as a "Kamikaze Kick-Off". If they make the catch AND survive, they get the ball from the 50 yard line. If they only make the catch, the surviving team members get the ball from the 40. If the returner survives, but fails to make the catch, from the 30. If they fail to survive or make the catch, the ball is given to the kicking team, barring a touchback.

     

    Works for me.

    Maybe instead of kickoffs they could do free kicks like after safeties? Then a team could either kick it off or punt it, and the “on-sides kick” would just be a special punt that either falls fast, or is so hard that it bonks off of someone’s helmet and is caught by the kicking team. 

     

    We gotta get the gorilla involved in this somehow.

    And by that time the Pittsburgh Pirates will have been mathematically and unilaterally eliminated from playoff contention...

     

    That's already happened, my friend. In fact, the Pirates are currently eliminated from playoff contention through 2027.

    True, but that's kind of my point. Cautious optimism is a good thing, and all the D-Day talk gets old. I'm not asking everyone to say "The new jerseys will be awesome!", but some teams did correct the Nike errors (Browns, Bucs) and Nike is capable of getting a new uniform set right (Chargers). So I want to acknowledge when someone suggests a quote about a uniform may not lead to disaster. 

     

    CCSLC lesson #2: Know when someone is joking.

    It's nice to see someone urging calm while we wait.

     

    This your first day here? We don't do calm in these parts. 😎

    Way better?  Meh.  IIRC that player unveil was the first time anyone saw that black to red gradient and the WTFs could be heard from miles away.  

     

    Those WTFs were heard in Antarctica. Good lord, those new Falcons uniforms were awful. They still are, they just don't elicit the WTFs any more.

    Narrator: They weren't excited. In fact, they thought it was all very stupid.

    The most common elements of Colorado are quartzite, sandstone, agate, and gabbro. So make of that what you will. 

    And weed. And fentanyl. And too many soccer moms rolling around in Chevrolet Tahoes.

     

    "The joint the horse is smoking represents the indomitable free spirit of the frontier that still lives today in Colorado. The sandstone and icy blue highlights on the pants stripes are a tribute to the Xanax addicted soccer moms who populate the Denver suburbs. The sublimated 5.2  at the top of the left pants stripe recognizes the miles per gallon they get in their Chevy Tahoes."

    "What's important for Broncos fans? Wanting to evolve and be new and different but also be respectful of our history and our traditions,"

     

    The old "looking forward while respecting the past" bit. The next time that approach results in a great looking uniform will also be the first time. On the bright side, the Nike-speak will be glorious. "The horse stomping across a snow covered mountain sleeves signify that Broncos Country has never lost the pioneer spirit of the 1850s. We ride in all weather. The icy blue stitching you can barely see represents the battle tested craftsmanship of the frontier. The arrow stuck in the horse's neck honors the brave wagon trains that were attacked by the Commanche. "

     

    I hope I'm wrong, but I think this is going to be a disaster.

     

    You have our sincere condolences in advance, Broncos fans.

     

    Signed,

    Browns fans in 2015.

    No color version for the Browns either, only monochrome. Speaking of which, are the Browns hiding in plain sight that they are officially changing back to white facemasks?

     

    Probably not, but one can hope.

    You also share a birthday with a certain historical figure from Austria. 

     

    Yeah, I don't like to draw a lot of attention to that one. I much prefer people going with "you were born on 420? That's so cooool!"

     

    In a related story, Don Mattingly and I were born on the same day and we were both scouted by Major League Baseball teams. He did a little better than I did with the baseball thing.

    This is also something important to remember. If Easter is closer to the end of April, baseball is already starting and college basketball is done. 

     

     

    For example, Easter is on April 20th next year. (Nice of them to have it on my birthday. Wonder how they feel about the weed thing.)
