BBTV Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 1) I could definitely get behind a Cleveland Baseball Browns and a Cleveland Football Browns.  2) I ran into Wendel Pierce on Bourbon St. one night. My friend was telling me how cool it would be to see him, because he's from New Orleans, and was just going on and on and on and on about him. So by complete chance, I actually see him - just standing there in the middle of the street. I'm elbowing my friend, who's still talking about how cool it would be if we saw him, and he's like "stop elbowing me, that's annoying" until he finally looked over and saw him too. So I'm talking to him, tell him I'm from Phila, and his first words were "what the hell is Chip Kelly doing to that team? He's a damn fool. Ain't gonna win nothin' till they get rid of that guy." Well, history shows that they fired Chip Kelly and went on to become Super Bowl champions by winning the Super Bowl, and to this day, they are still the Super Bowl LII champions, and it's not likely that they'll ever lose that title. Bunk knows football.  4 hours ago, colortv said:  "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

BroncoBuff Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 You don't need Sigmund Freud to tell you the crazy big "Cleveland" on the jersey and "Browns" on the pants was a spastic over-reaction to the insecurities that resulted from decades with no logo on their helmets (my wife pointed out the negative imagery that might be associated with the word  Browns printed down your leg )  I didn't like the orange stitching on their Brown jerseys. You'd have to see them in closeup to notice, but it looked like an 8 year old's new Levi's or something.  Anyway, I always loved the orange pants, especially with the brown jerseys and orange helmets!  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But please don't take me too seriously. I'm just yakkin' ... and that doesn't always translate well in written form. Please know I don't REALLY think the Browns organization is run by mental patients, nor do I think 'Browns' is a particularly funny euphemism.  When I first saw those words on their unis, I was literally shocked. Exactly like that ridiculous 49ers logo and helmet ... shocking. They announcedthe change, but soon after canceled when the fans went berserk. The 49ers ever played a game in 'em. I thought the Browns would cancel, too, but ......    Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroncoBuff Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 I'm not complaining, not really, but you guys are kind of touchy around here.  I once posted in a thread called 'Players in the Wrong Uniforms' ... like Joe Namath with the Rams, or Peter Forsberg with the Predators, the thread is still active.  Anyway, I posted a big pic of Peyton Manning with the Colts, and some guy got pretty ticked off. We had signatures then, and mine was all Broncos, Nuggets, etc ... I figured it was obviously a goof. But he asks "can't you read?" and stuff.  I dunno ... maybe I'm just an a-hole, but only in writing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they moved to Sacramento, as it was rumored, the change would already be made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just logged on there to view the sports section and its the first thing I noticed - it jumped right out at me. I don't think it can be a coincidence - can it?

dont care Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 I see it but since it’s the only image of a helmet on the entire site I’m gonna assume it was just someone picking the wrong helmet image by mistake for the thumbnail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carolingian Steamroller Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Anyone else feel that if the Browns are going to use an out of date facemask style they should with the one that's actually connected to the Browns? Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pa02 Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Keep the Brown face mask helmet. Â Use regular white numbers for home and brown for away. Â Go back to traditional sleeve stripes but little larger in width. Â Keep pants but remove Browns and have the stripes go all the way to the bottom. Â Keep all orange socks, all brown socks and white socks. No stripes. Â Easy and clean. Â Â The hell with the grey face mask. Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
