SFGiants58 Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Well Browns, you managed to not screw things up like before! The home and away sets look fantastic (I really like the road Brown pants, as I didn’t like white and orange touching), while the alternate is as gross as it used to be. The number font is close enough to traditional block where it’s not an issue, while the sock stripes are very welcome on the designs. Overall, the Browns are back! Orange pants at some point would be nice, but it’s not a dealbreaker. MLB: Project 32 (Complete), MLB: The Defunct Saga (Complete) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carolingian Steamroller Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 I'm shocked by how natural the updated numbers feel. Some easy rounding of the edges of the numbers is a nice way to modernize while keeping in the spirit of the original. I'm really happy with this. Browns back in the top 10 uniforms in the league. I'll wait for that game against the Steelers for the orange pants to come back.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLEstones Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Highlights, for me, include: Removal of the carbon fiber on the helmet Maintained the satin finish Narrowing of the pants stripe Bringing over the same font from the word mark to the uniforms Besides the brown pants, the colors seem to all be balanced No wordmark Sleeve stripe - not infringing onto the front of the jersey, but also not being neutered by the cuff of the sleeve My only gripes: Thank God they put orange stripes on them this time, but they couldn't put a white stripe between the 2 orange stripes? The thickness of the helmet, jersey, and pants stripes all seem to differ. I wish they would have done SOMETHING a little unique, i.e. make the TV numbers orange instead of brown/white. I know that nitpicking, but it could have been SOMETHING. The alternate is stupid. They should have just kept the color rush from last year or inverted the brown and orange colors. Other than that, great update. I would have done a few things differently, but can't complain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scraw28 Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Pros: tradition is back Retained the color rush pants Striped socks for home and away Traditional 5 stripes Stripes shrunk so they won't get cut off No nameplate on front of jersey carbon fiber goodbye Cons: no orange pants or jersey Brown facemask preferred white or grey but not the end of the world Screen printed sleeves Color rush Shade of orange ( prefer the tennessee or clemson orange they used to have ) Not sure : updated numerals Other than that....9/10 Chargers next week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOEYxFRESCO Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Would’ve really loved to see Cleveland do some different on the Color Rush and add the elf to helmet. Give it some pop to bland uniforms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kramerica Industries Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 I have no earthly clue why they didn't retain the orange stripes on last year's Color Rush set - this version quite literally looks like crap - but big thumbs up on the home and away. Wish they had brought in an orange alternate but that's not a big deal and might be something for the future anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In they video the team released yesterday, they really focused on white facemasks so I was hopeful. Disappointed, but not mad about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Akronite- Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 PROS: Back to old stripes WHITE AND BROWN STRIPED SOCKS No helmet logo and no carbon fiber, but this was obvious Classic white pants rather than changing striping CONS: Color rush is boring and ugly No orange pants Brown pants without a white stripe is inferior to other potential designs NOT GOOD OR BAD IMO: Keeping brown facemask Custom number font instead of classic block No wordmark My hope is that the plain brown pants and plain brown socks will stay with the color rush jerseys and we stick to the presented combos strictly, only wearing these crap-suits once a year. I'll take the stripes on the brown pants but I really think it needs white in there to make the set complete. The lack of orange pants is honestly bonkers, but I guess I prefer limiting the looks instead of having three different colored pants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbofox Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 I, initially, was asking why no white between the orange stripes on the brown pants. But just orange and brown matches the sleeve stripes. I think it was the right move. Along with the striped socks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

infrared41 Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Love the all white and the brown over white. I could do without the brown pants and the CR is pure garbage, but other than that, my team looks like an NFL team again! Welcome back, Cleveland Browns.

MDGP Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Beautiful. As a disciple of the brown pants and an orange pants hater, I'm a big fan of this. The alternate is pretty dumb, but honestly I'll take it over the garbage that was their last set. 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!

Not color rush. It's just the alternate now. Color rush, if that's still a thing, would be different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crashcarson15 Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 I'm primarily annoyed by the game they're playing where they'll delay orange pants for a couple years so they can make a big deal out of another unveiling or an enhancement or whatever, and have never liked brown pants with the away jerseys, but these largely get the Browns to where they're supposed to be and how they're supposed to look. (I like the new numbers, I think. They're a good way to add some flair to a classic jersey.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upperV03 Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 A look at a few more numbers in the new font: Overall this font isn’t perfect, and still slightly inferior to just going with classic block, but it’s close enough to be pretty harmless and still complement the rest of the look. I’m glad they maintained the proportions of the classic block numbers instead of making them thicker to better match the wordmark font (which they’re using for NOB’s).
