The ads make the page take forever to load, it almost never loads all at once on the first try, and frequently the entire page falls apart mid-scroll and I have to refresh several times to get it back to a proper readable website. Writing a post is nerve wracking because you have no idea when the website will spontaneously combust and you have to start over. I’ve tried the notes app strategy, but whenever I paste text from an outside text box, it shows up in this font that is much bigger and uglier than the rest of the website. I know this community runs off of a generic message board shell, so whoever is responsible for that shell has some damn work to do web design-wise. It’s almost 2023!! I know the font thing can be fixed at the time of pasting. At the bottom of the pasted text, click the “place as plain text” link and the big font will go away. I still don't have a website, but I have a dribbble now! http://dribbble.com/andyharry [The postings on this site are my own and do not necessarily represent the position, strategy or opinions of adidas and/or its brands.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc... Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 I think the Giants should have switched to white facemasks when they went to the white pants. The grey seems out of place now. And I don't know why the 49ers gray facemask doesn't look out of place to me? Maybe because with that style uniform it's just always been that way? Their current design with anything else would take some getting use to. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second lesson comes from UCLA and how good a gold face mask can look with a gold helmet. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indigo Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 And yes, the Browns' brown did not change from 2014 to 2015, but it did change from 2019 to 2020. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They aren’t explicitly saying it’s for a redesign like the Broncos and it probably means there won’t be any changes quite next year. Regardless, it’s very important that they’re finally letting the fans voice their near unanimous attitude on the matter, cause we could’ve avoided a lot of messes if they’d ever thought to do so before. Look at those numbers for the classic era! The Duval faithful wont let us down on this one. Hopefully something close to the original unis or even this concept 1 1 trueyankee26.wordpress.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is how the Browns are suppose to look. It's so good. The brown facemask looks like s*** and from afar, is too similar to the Bengals in terms of orange helmet paired dark colored facemask. I always thought the white facemask helps make the distinction between the two more apparent. 4 Cowboys - Lakers - LAFC - USMNT - LA Rams - LA Kings - NUFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I pointed it out in terms of orange helmet and similarly dark face mask. There's only two teams with orange helmets in the league. They both shouldn't have dark face masks. Look how much better the Browns helmet with the white face mask contrasts when compared to the Bengals. The Browns white face mask looks better with the uniform overall, not just when playing against the Bengals. 12 1 2 1 Cowboys - Lakers - LAFC - USMNT - LA Rams - LA Kings - NUFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HopewellJones Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 I've revised my stance on Browns facemasks. The new shade of orange changes things. With the current helmets, white is better than gray. And I love gray facemasks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GFB Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 I’ve realized that my preference is always for a facemask to be the least-gaudy color possible because it brings attention to the most non-uniform aspect of every helmet/uniform. When the Browns use their regular masks, my eye is drawn to the loudest object: the orange helmet shell… which generally is the most uniform aspect across all players/suppliers. But these white masks grab my attention first and foremost, which foremost underlines the individuality of each player and generally creates a less-uniform effect. A lineman’s mask with several bars crisscrossing over the entire face is going to have much more white visible than a kicker or a quarterback with only a few bars. All of the Ravens look like they’re generally wearing the same helmet from a distance, but you can see clearly that every Browns helmet is wildly different from the TV broadcast. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJD7 Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 The white facemask looks a lot better in action than it did in the promo shots. I still prefer the brown though, as it connects better to the helmet, in my opinion. As @GFB suggested above, the white stands out a bit too much to my eyes. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never assume that all the helmets are exactly the same. Obviously different players will have different facemasks. Many teams have had non-white helmets white facemasks (Chiefs, Giants, Jets, Broncos, Falcons, Vikings, et al) and I’ve never found this to be an issue 3 Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
