DCarp1231 Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 How did the Browns decide not to remove the helmet stripe for the alternate? Probably would at least look a little bit better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8BW14 Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 I know it kinda defeats the purpose of the whole “Color Rush” idea, but a pair of orange or white/cream pants instead of brown would make for a sharp look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The combinations include all-white unis, all-brown, brown jerseys with white pants, and white jerseys with browns pants. The all-brown version, a spin-off of the Color Rush worn at home last year, includes orange numbers on the jersey. “Did people like the orange pants?’’ Johnson said. “I didn’t realize that.

AndrewMLind Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 And by "get to work," Johnson just means they'll go into their equipment room and pull them out for an unspecified game later this year as was already (secretly) planned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's because they never bothered to ask anyone, other than 15or 20 Gen-Z Twitter posters. Sounds like Arthur Blank saying the Falcons rebrand was because they "listened to their fans"...if that's true, Blank must not really like the fans. Wouldn't surprise me if Johnson is one of those non-uni guys who never even noticed that the Browns had orange pants before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even just the regular white pants make for a decent alternate look: Gives off sort of a Bears Monsters of the Midway vibe, but definitely better than the solid brown. With striped orange pants: I wouldn’t wanna see solid orange pants, so just used the striped orange pants that we’ll hopefully see sometimes this year. And with the O/B/O striped brown pants: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether intentional or not that definitely was a little Easter egg that nobody seemed to catch. I hope it is the new field art at their home stadium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We know there is a "secret" the Browns haven't shown anyone yet. The actual interview yesterday his tone seemed very sarcastic and he mentioned how popular the Kardiac era uniforms and orange pants were. They also wore orange pants a lot the past two years.
