SFGiants58 Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 I’d say that gray can impact the overall color scheme of a helmet and it’s not the best choice for every team. However, gray facemasks are perfect for the Browns and any team trying to invoke a vintage aesthetic with the brand. It just can’t be a “cool” gray/blue-tinted gray that works better for silver helmet teams.

It would easily be hundreds of pages long at this point. I’ve made a thread for such a thing. I think it would help to talk about the topic more.

In 2016 the Browns decided to wear the football jersey equivalent of True Religion jeans. I hate to break it to you, but almost *all* jeans have contrast stitching, not just the ugly ones. Now, if they had embroidered filigree and rhinestones on the shoulders, I think you’d have a point.

Honestly i think their previous uniforms were close to perfect. If they do go back to a gray mask, black cleats are a must imo. Gray masks (excluding teams like Dal, Oak, etc.) should always be paired with black cleats. Alabama does it best. I wish there were grey gloves and shoes for teams with grey masks. I always thought that would be a nice way to coordinate all the equipment and make a rogue grey mask less of an eyesore for the non-believers.

BucksFan5 Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Has anyone seen the full shirt design that Odell is wearing here? It kinda looks like an updated/redesigned brownie the elf. I believe it's the weight room shirt, but I can't seem to find a clear pic of the logo anywhere. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like a full color version of this graphic, including the text, which is itself a “camera-ready” version of the Browns’ earliest, pre-NFL depiction of Brownie, as seen on their 1946 program covers.

Just make this guy the logo and color him in, and you can roll with him for another 50 years. Just get rid of the grass underneath him. I'd also be happy if their sleeve stripes were similar to what's her in this design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish the team would have used the brownie elf logo they had a decade ago as the primary merchandise logo. But it's clear the team never saw that more than a novelty. Mostly because when they survey fans is always "we don't want a logo on the helmet" means we want the helmet on merchandise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After seeing these on the field tonight, I agree completely, but just with this set. By no means should they ever change the helmet full-time, but it would be a simple and very effective improvement to this particular set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tBBP Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 If the Browns are set on going with a new look based off that (and the game last night), the only way it would work is if the white center stripe is removed--otherwise it'll stick out like a sore thumb. I can see how a redesigned set based on this would look...and with the exception of the "away set", it'd pretty much have to exclude the white--which the more I think about it right in line with the "callback-to-old-school" aesthetic I'm sure both they and the Swoosh are chasing down right now. I wish there was a way for them to lighten up the brown just a smidge so it'd actually read as brown and not some weird shade of muted purple--but they have to be able to see the actual football, so...eh well. In the absence of an actual Browns concept, let me give you what I think (okay, hope) they might be looking at via an old Grambling State concept from many years ago...just swap out black and yellow for brown and orange (and disregard the helmets; just pretend they're orange with two brown stripes like the photo above)... *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iBrockely Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 If the Browns are gonna do a Redo, can they put some brown in their end zone??? The just 2 orange stripes look's lazy or like they ran out of time. I was watching the game last night and it was driving me crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd prefer some type of wordmark though instead of the stripes. I know that's their thing this year but it shouldn't be applied to everything.

If it was just two orange stripes like you said, the rest of the endzone would be green, which it clearly isn't based on that photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seemed to work better when the stripes went vertically last season. More stripes and more orange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
