andrewharrington Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 I remember a thread about these particular jerseys and that pictures of them were hard to come by. I recently found one, so here it is. 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...
rtrich11 Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 I remember seeing these, but can't remember the story behind them. Can anyone elaborate?Didn't they show up on some trading cards at the time? cafepress.com/artbyrichards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshawaggie Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Interesting, can't wait to hear the story on these. @josh_j12 CFA- Fargo Bobcats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruColor Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 I don't know know if there's much of a story...they wore those for a couple of seasons, and then went back to a more traditional set.Being the non-traditionalist that I am, I liked these much more than the traditional (or more traditional) unis.I used to have great close-up pics (Prolog magazine), but don't have them anymore. Darn it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Apollo Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Actually they only wore them for the 1984 season. During the pre season their numbers were orange with white and brown trim. (Sorry, no pics) It was decided that the orange numbers were too difficult to read so they changed to white numbers with orange trim at the start of the season. They went with the more traditional look for the 1985 season."Red Right 88. No! No! Nooooooooooo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swilson160 Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 When they reversed the color of the numbers and trim after the preseason, they should have reversed the sleeve stripes too.Otherwise, these are pretty sharp--I wouldn't be opposed to something like this if they were to try to change their uniforms.

DGivens87 Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 I forgot where I read it, but I vaguley remember a story about how Art Modell and some front office guys were "testing" the visibility of those orange numbers from the owner's suite at Municipal Stadium. He took an informal poll among his colleagues, and they all agreed they couldn't read them from his suite. Goodbye orange numbers...and ten years later, goodbye Cleveland!

BlueSky Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Look at the guy sitting next to Ozzie. The white part of his sleeve stripe is clearly wider than Ozzie's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leopard88 Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Look at the guy sitting next to Ozzie. The white part of his sleeve stripe is clearly wider than Ozzie's. It's that attention to detail that makes this place great.For what it's worth, it also looks like the other guy's orange stripe may be narrower, but they may just be because it looks narrower next to the wider white stripes.
