quantum Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Maybe it's my eyes, but I always pictured them to be more like this: "One of my concerns is shysters show up and take advantage of people's good will and generosity". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcgd Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 If the brown didn't change at all, they are fine. But from waht I remember seeing the replicas and such, the brown was more...well brown.I'll trust PANTONE for sure. Until I see otherwise on the field, I'm going to assume the brown fabric will be exactly the same color as before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColeJ Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 i'm no expert, but i think pantones can be very misleading.2 things can be the exact same pantone, but look completely different, depending on the style of fabric.maybe the browns just changed fabric a little bit, to something more "shimmery"... which makes the color look less saturated, and thus greyer/purplereither way, i AM happy to see brown pants... although i'd put stripes on them.i've wanted to see the browns in brown pants for years.

SoxSteeler Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 will they really have brown pants? i thought they were ditching the orange and staying with just white pants for both road and home. They better not wear a brown/brown combo or else they are just asking for more nicknames in the vein of "the stains". The league doesn't need a team of poopsicles. As of now i think the browns have made good improvements all around. The stripes are better, the color will probably look fine and the grey facemask is a major plus. now, no more talk of the browns making good moves.

BawlmerOreos Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Speaking as a Ravens fan, I've always heard the story that Lerner was one of the guys most instrumental in bringing Modell to Baltimore. I know for a fact that he was on the plane the day the papers were signed. So if that's true, even if he did help bring an expansion franchise back, how does that earn Lerner a permanent uniform tribute????Some Brown fan...please explain.

BBM Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 My guess is there's nothing else to be excited about in Cleveland, so in order to make it look like they have a deep "history" (which we all know is an expansion team from 1999) they put a tribute on the sleeve ala Chicago. Seems silly if you ask me, seeing as all those great Cleveland teams from the past are actually residing in the history of the Baltimore Ravens, albeit not officially.

dennisbergan Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Just to compare old vs. new...New Version:Old Version: WOW!!! What a difference!!! The Browns already had a "retro" uniform. Now they are trying to be 'extra' retro. Yawn. All those stripes on the sleeves and socks will look goofy. But, hey, if they wore them in 1963, they had to look good, right?

Blue Falcon Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 This whole thread is an oxymoron! "New" and "Browns Uniforms" should NEVER be in the same sentence. It's like that "New and Improved" Speed Stick I bought yesterday for my B.O.: it's the same old crap, but I just pay more $$$ for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True enough.He was more instrumental in moving the Browns to Baltimore than he was bringing a new expansion franchise to Cleveland. If anything, the Ravens should have a sleeve patch tribute to him.

Blue Falcon Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 The Browns paying tribute to Al Lerner on their uniforms makes about as much sense as Baltimore naming their stadium Robert Irsay Field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawk36 Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Would be nice if they actually used a brown that was more brown than black.It's seems we are gradually moving toward team colors that are various shades of black:Chargers- royal to black with a blue tintBrowns- brown to black with a brown tintRams- royal to black with a blue tintSeahawks- royal to black with a blue tintBroncos- light royal to black with a blue tintetc. etc. etc.I'm sure we're not far away from:Packers- green to black with a green tintRaiders- black to black with double black tint Design Hovie Studios Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Would be nice if they actually used a brown that was more brown than black. They do.These photos look awfully dark, but I've seen them in person. The brown is very brown.They didn't change the color. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

-(dp)- Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Brown pants instead of orange? I hope this isn't true.Orange helmet /brown jersey/brown pants..................NOOrange helmet/ white jersey /brown pants..................NOBoth combinations would look horrible. The orange pants looked alright with both jerseys because they matched the helmet, I can't imagine brown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LEWJ Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 being a browns fan-- i agree, they have been wearing they AL patch a season or two, too long. I respect Al Lerner but if it becomes a permanent change to all their unis i will be very dissapointed.(plus i believe his son randy lerner owns part of the team now, that's half th reason they're keeping it, IMO.) |Â BROWNS | BUCKEYES | CAVALIERS | INDIANSÂ | Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
