TruColor Posted November 1, 2003 Share Posted November 1, 2003 I got an email from someone named Simon from (I believe) the Yahoo! "Uniform Peeps" group with an idea for a new Cleveland Browns color scheme. His idea is for Brown and Copper, which I wasn't too sure about. However, I played around with some colors, and it's really growing on me. I added Champagne to the mix, and I'm really starting to like it. So, the idea is this - anyone want to take a stab at a Browns concept using this color scheme?Here's what Simon described as his idea:"A copper helmet with a brown facemask and the interlocking CB that is on the side of the helmet. For home games the Browns would wear Brown jerseys with white numbers trimmed in copper and some type of nice striping on the sleeves. They could wear either white pants at home or copper pants at home. For road games they would wear white jerseys with brown numbers trimmed in copper. They could wear copper, white or 'BROWN' pants on the road."Here's the colors I was thinking about:CLEVELAND BROWNS BROWNCLEVELAND BROWNS COPPERCLEVELAND BROWNS CHAMPAGNEThe colors break down this way:Brown 412 C:Red-56, Green-43, Blue-38Cyan-0, Magenta-30, Yellow-66, Black-98HTML-382B26Metallic Copper 876 C:Red-153, Green-102, Blue-64Cyan-0, Magenta-33, Yellow-58, Black-40HTML-996640Champagne 452 C:Red-181, Green-179, Blue-140Cyan-24, Magenta-18, Yellow-42, Black-0HTML-B5B38CI'm not expecting Shark to like this (that's fine), or any of the existing Browns fans, but does anyone else think this looks good?

CDunn Posted November 1, 2003 Share Posted November 1, 2003 I'm trying some unis. the colors make it seem very 1920's. The jersey atleast. Hey, Pantone, could give us some nice clear images of the new dog head logo and the old CB logo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronChefShark Posted November 2, 2003 Share Posted November 2, 2003 of course, you all know Im gonna say brown is never good whatsoever....and Im not backing down on that. but I must say, that pairing it with mettalic copper AND mettalic champagne is a definite recipie for disaster US state flag concepts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

epper Posted November 2, 2003 Share Posted November 2, 2003 definetely two thumbs down........i absolutely love their current orange and brown combo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discrim Posted November 2, 2003 Share Posted November 2, 2003 well, here's what i think of this whole development(c/p)...since this color set includes copper, i thought it was only appropriate that the Browns wordmark and CB logo were in the Copperplate font...ya know, this style i made is damn versatile, i could use it for anybody A strong mind gets high off success, a weak mind gets high off bull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDunn Posted November 2, 2003 Share Posted November 2, 2003 gotta love those Discrim jerseys . I'll add #'s to mine and have them up soon.EDIT: finished. Not to crazy about the colors, but it would be really popular with the urban crowd. Browns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMS1122 Posted November 3, 2003 Share Posted November 3, 2003 you know Sabres, i really like that, maybe it would be better if you swapped the placement of the dog and "B" logos? just my opinion, good job GMS on dribbbleErie Apparel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evan Posted November 3, 2003 Share Posted November 3, 2003 i really dig the color combo (has a classic yet modern feel to it), so i had to try something. http://www.geocities.com/qjjwave/brownsunis.gif copy/pastecomments as usual wantedBTW: Sabers i really like the concept, i really think it works welland Discrim, as always lookin' good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discrim Posted November 3, 2003 Share Posted November 3, 2003 comment wanted...comment gotteni used a champagne bulldog...sabres used a copper dawg...guess no other choice than the football-B. like the use of the LSU-like stripe. comment on sabres...great minds think somewhat alike, eh? very similar helmet and pant stripes...the jersey's the lone difference...gotta love those Evan and sabres concepts :cool:edit: although i don't have a hatred for brown, i did think the color scheme would make anything look like plop. then i remembered it's possible to foul up red, white and blue(see the Bills). so any of these coulda been MUCH worse(thankfully all are good) A strong mind gets high off success, a weak mind gets high off bull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evan Posted November 3, 2003 Share Posted November 3, 2003 well it is a vector templete, and from your designs, i don't beleive you have a program that really deals with vecorized objects.I tried to create one off of that templete in Photomax pro, but it really didn't look very good. Sorry I can't help you out to much, but if you really want to try the blank vectorized templete, i have it hereCopy and Paste Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
