Browns in brown pants?

[PackerBadger]

Yeah really. That grey facemask is a dumb affectation.

Another plus to all the brown and orange is how autumnal it looks in a generally autumnal sport. The Browns never make it into January, but if they ever should,

Hooray! Lots of white with brown here and there! Looks like midwestern winter to me.

Yeah, because we all want to be reminded of our 14-month-long winters ...

[PackerBadger]

The Bears are wearing blue pants tonight. I hope this happens all the time when the games count.

Fixed it for you.

Dennisbergan: showing up every preseason to tout a modern NFL uniform design and call the rest of us "old fogies" since 2005

I said it last year and I'll say it again, these pants need to adhere to one our favorite sayings around CCSLC, "needs stripes". The striped socks look so much better, but they would actually be tolerable and match the uniform if they employed an orange-white-orange stripe. They'd be the reverse of both the white pants and the stripes on the helmet. It would look great.

I actually think the brown pants look pretty slick with the striped socks. I think the Bengals would look sharp with plain black pants, as well (as long as they ditch that stupid white stripe on the jerseys).

I think it would work better to go with white-orange-white, to match the brown jerseys.

This kind of crap doesn't belong in the NFL! For that matter, nor do the Cleveland Browns.

[njmeadowlanders]

There's a reason the blue pinstriped suit has been around forever dude. Looking classy never goes out of style. Looking like a -ing clown never lasts.

Amen brother. Nobody can put it better.

I won't argue your first point. Unfortunately, I can't seriously argue your second point.

I don't see how a lack of pant stripes completely ruins this look. I think they would look BETTER with stripes, but the striping of the socks matches the jerseys. The solid socks were much worse.

[Captain Poncho]

White over white is boring, and overdone.

The brown pants on the road are a good thing.

Let's hope we never see these pants with the brown jerseys, but an orange-white-orange stripe wouldn't necessarily not match the brown jersey. I took some time to make this spectrum (if you will) of the browns stripes across the various parts of their uniform and how orange-white-orange stripes would look on the brown pants

from left to right it goes: white jersey, brown jersey, brown pants, white pants, orange helmet. The brown pants (with my preferred striping scheme) would match the brown jersey just as well as the white pants match the white jersey.

The lack of pant stripes does ruin the look because the other uniform elements (socks, jersey, helmet) all have very strong and noticeable striping. The pants, which would have the biggest amount of striping, are plain, throwing off the balance and the aesthetic of the set.

I still think the orange pants would be a better option (to balance out the helmet) but if they are going to use brown pants, there needs to be striping.

For what it's worth, the brown pants are NOT in Madden 10. (I looked.)

Yeah, that's what I wrote a few pages back. Madden always seems to have them when the team has them in the closet (like the Rams' white pants) and when the team uses them or uses them regularly, they are gone. They don't even have the orange pants with their throwback sets. In fact, the Browns are so badly mislabeld. Their 1960 helmet has a white mask, their 1960 jersey is the 1984 (I think) jersey with the orange outlines on the numbers. I won't even get into what they did with the Chargers and Titans.

[Korkie]

As mentioned earlier, the socks make all the difference. The striped socks looked great with the brown pants and makes everything pop.

I don't know why this is so hard to achieve? Hands down classic look if it ever hit the field IMO!

Nothing says a good old fashioned cold football game than the Browns wearing white on white. CLASSIC!

id have to say the green bay packers at lambeau says a good olf fashioned cold football game a tad more than the browns whites

I totally agree.

Those four are my particular favorites for any of the unis they've worn. Especially note the 2 brown stripes on the white pants instead of the 2 orange. Looks much better and balanced to me.
