It's actually a fauxback as the correct helmet would have been white and didn't have a facemask. Therefore, I believe a white facemask would have looked better since they can't wear the white helmet until next year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therefore, I believe a white facemask would have looked better since they can't wear the white helmet until next year. A white facemask would have made no sense for that helmet design or the reason for the uniform in general. Nothing upsets me more when a team makes a throwback but it ends up being some totally new thing like what Washington did. If you can't find a way to do some form of throwback then why even bother? If the helmet and the jersey have to be from different years that's fine, but it's atleast doing something that is throwing back to history. Thankfully, 2021 will be the last time the mismatching will stop. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All over Reddit the comments were complaining that it looked like a Bengals jersey... A set the Browns have basically worn before. That is mostly the same as our current road uniform. With a throwback helmet we've worn before (essentially). And it's not just the drop shadow, which of course the Bengals used to wear, but some were arguing that the sleeves were too similar.

In order for the Squares to notice that these alternate uniforms are actually alternate uniforms, teams have to go so far outside the box that they don't look like themselves anymore. 7 The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database!

flyersfan Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Ravens have military-like patches that must mean something internally, and use different templates for their same uniforms. They're also one of the few teams that don't wear specific mesh or lightweight practice jerseys w/ screen print either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d say those are more pride patches (like Ohio State puts on their helmets) than military patches. They have always used basically game jerseys for practice since Nike took over. It does look like they are probably debuting the new template this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JW's response in an interview was to laugh it off and say "we were here first." Honestly I wish they didn't even acknowledge it, because it is so absurd. You'd either have to be blind or a complete idiot to think the Browns copied off the Bengals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PittsburghSucks Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 I ordered my jersey after midnight Friday. Shockingly it arrived today. Only 5 days after I ordered it. It looks really nice. Can't wait to see it on the field. I wonder how it would look paired with their modern helmet and their brown pants? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s easily the worst look they have (assuming they never wear the color rush again), and there is no need for 4 possible combinations they could wear with a white jersey. I would wear brown/white for home 1:00 games, brown/orange for home nationally broadcast games, white/white for road 1:00 games, white/orange for road primetime games. I would sprinkle in the throwback for 1 home game, and maybe the Christmas Day game @ Lambeau. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like wearing the jersey of someone that muight be traded or leave so I usually get them with my name and number on instead. 9 hours ago, PittsburghSucks said: I ordered my jersey after midnight Friday.

The brown pants would be okay if they had a white stripe in the middle, but the white and orange pants are all they really needed. The color rush pants are annoying as hell since they're plain brown. 18 hours ago, dont care said: I’d say those are more pride patches (like Ohio State puts on their helmets) than military patches.

I never understood why they cling to Elite 51 when there's nothing the template does that helps the look of the jerseys.

WSU151 Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 On the 2021 sideline attire front, New Era released all the sideline hats this week and they're using this alternate logo for the Ravens, which does look better as a hat logo than the regular helmet logo. It's kind of reminiscent of the 90s Hawks and Timberwolves logos and current Grizzlies front-facing mark, but I sort of wish they'd use it more: 15 Smart is believing half of what you hear.

guest23 Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 The pattern that goes from the crown to the bill is one of the worst elements I've ever seen from new era. On some of the hat models it doesn't even line up correctly. Not sure what look they were going for here...looks like the embroidery machine got jammed. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
