Yeah, but that's unbelievably disingenuous on the part of CBS Sports, to write as though Facebook and Twitter comments are actually valuable insight into anything.

Old School Fool Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 I actually like the Browns uniforms. I'd make some minor tweaks but the overall look is fine to me, plus they have orange pants again which was long overdue. Clearly the classic uniforms are much better but still.

Sykotyk Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 As a Browns fan, my two biggest complaints were that the drop shadow looks horrendous (either full outline, or eliminate the drop shadow and go monochrome orange on brown), and the BROWNS on the pantleg would be acceptable if the pant stripe continued through the BROWNS wording, but still absent in the negative space. By having the name completely out of place given the stripe, it looks horrible. I can accept the chest striping, the textured brown helmet stripes, etc. And I was really hoping maybe to make a break and go entirely with orange at home (even the creamsicle everyone feared), since it actually looks best given the template. And the brown face mask is a complete upgrade over the white or gray masks of the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyersfan Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 there are so many little things wrong with the jersey, thats what makes it bad. browns on the pants. cleveland across the chest. the orange stitching. orange numbers on the brown jersey. i dont have a problem with anything else on it though.

Ben in LA Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 I know the Rams have a mismatched uniform. I also know it's temporary. So I'm not complaining. I can deal with the look for a few more years. The classic uniforms can be considered a treat. I'm worried more about the play on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colortv Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 So are we reasonably certain that when they do make the major change it will be to the blue/yellow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll be the McRibs of the NFL. I gave up McDonald's completely a decade ago but I still miss the McRib (but not as much after I started learning about food and ingredients). If teams stop fixing and keep messing up good uniforms AND play poorly, football is going to disappear (if not from kids not playing due to CTE concerns).

Cosmic Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 I've seen a couple people call this look temporary... but they'll be wearing it for *three years*. It's semi-permanent. "Temporary" was when Nike couldn't get the Eagles' green jerseys ready for the beginning of the season that one year. As far as ranking in the league, I'd put them behind everyone but the Jags.

I would still not be shocked to see a permanent blue/white primary set with a blue/yellow alternate/throwback. Not to rehash last year's debate, but preserving the blue/yellow as a profitable throwback/alternate niche while pushing a blue/white primary still makes the most fiscal sense. The comparison to San Diego is spot-on and supplements this theory. Besides, this is a franchise that isn't afraid to focus on the big picture and make moves that are initially unpopular to their fan base, as we have seen in acts more significant than uniform design.

I've had temp jobs that lasted longer than that. And unlike those, this uniform has an established expiration date.
