Geezus the Browns need a freaking logo.  That helmet honestly just looks stupid. It’s ridiculous that this is the logo they use to represent the franchise most often. They should be embarrassed that it is mostly what they have available for fans to wear. A basic varsity block C would be better. Brownie would be better, but the helmet as the “primary logo” is just plain crappy.

As a Browns fan, I completely agree.. It's frustrating a little bit... The helmet looks so dumb on merch.  On the other hand, not quite sure what creative direction the team could go with.  Our Indians use the block C, and people hate it.  I guess Brownie could be a little better

I have long thought this. The current “logo” looks more like a picture of the helmet you’d see on a pennant or on a TV graphic.

 

I really like both of these concepts below. They convey a timeless and classic look. They aren’t overly detailed and don’t need to worry about whether the helmet design is outdated. Most importantly, they feel like real logos, unlike the current design.

 

 

 

The concepts are the work of Gridiron Labs.

This is such an elegant solution to the Browns logo problem. Perfect.

OBJ wearing a helmet with a gray facemask, but with the new “Browns” on the front and “Cleveland” on the back so it can’t be an old one from 2014.

2 blue stripes is "even more" than 1.. but it has absolutely nothing to do with "balancing the helmet".. it's the aesthetics of having more pop of the darker color.. the helmet is irrelevant in both cases

Two blue stripes is indeed even more than one, but I was referring to the part where you argued for blue socks over orange, which is the ultimate support for the point I made.

No where do fans complaining about the helmet being our logo to they imply they want a logo on the helmet. You have can have a plain helmet and still have a logo. Ohio State has figured it out. Bengals have figured it out. Penn State did. 

 

They're not mutually exclusive ideas. Logo for merch, but not on the helmet.

I know I'm late to the party, but if I had to change one thing about the Browns new unis...I'd have the AAFC drop shadow numbers, at least on the color rush ones.

I'd say only on the color rush. Then they'd have something to break up the orange and brown.

But the whole point of those uniforms is to be just brown and orange.

 

If they added a slight orange drop shadow to the primary uniform numbers, I wouldn't hate that at all - but maybe the longtime fans would.

I would hate the drop shadows unless they were part of a fourth jersey.

Get that drop shadow/helmet logo bullcrap out of here.

It's about the logo, forget everything else. The logo is perfect for them.

Horrible thought: how about wrapping a brown C around the simple profile view to form a near roundel like the Cubs logo?

This is pretty darn cool.

I love that old Mark Duper facemask helmet logos. And yea a million guys wore it but I associate it primarily with Duper as he was the last guy who did and I saw him play all the time being a fan of an AFC east team.

 

The 49ers still use the Duper helmet facemasks in their endzones

 

 

And it works better for the Browns as well. That style of facemask used in the current Browns logo is defunct and wasn't really iconic in any way. Don't like how the helmet is slightly turned too.

 

Crazy how the similar the Marks bros Duper and Clayton were in size, career span, and stats.

except i advocated for the BOB striping and blue socks.. you took a pretty hard stance on the either/or side of things.. so, while you may be concerned with "balancing the helmet" (which i agree can be a great role for the socks to fill), i don't think that's the primary purpose of the pants - especially when the pants can mimic the helmet striping (either exactly, or at least in principle, to create a more cohesive look)..
