02Rover Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 For the most part, the Browns wear throwbacks every week. But these changes are subtle enough that I dont hate them. I like the helmet with the single stripe and the numbers. I love the no "AL" patch and like everyone else, I really dig the socks.Browns fans like myself dont want to see the classic look messed with at all, but for a once a year throwback thingy, this will do just fine.

dennisbergan Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Those socks are something to behold, I can't fathom why they don't wear them all the time. .Cause its not 1976 anymore and they look freakin' stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Winslow is not wearing the striped socks.

boardname Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 I really like these, a lot. I wish they'd do this full time. Socks look fantastic, and I actually like the helmet numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEWJ Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Doesn't look like Winslow is wearing the striped socks again. (Below: #80) | BROWNS | BUCKEYES | CAVALIERS | INDIANS | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totc Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 I kinda like the helmet numbers; they're subtle and when they're in formation, don't show up as much as the Alabama numerals do. Or for that matter, Penn State in the 1960s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HatManTC Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 hey i dont care what they wear(for the most part) as long as they keep winning i am alright with that. by RoscoeUA by gingerbreadman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infrared41 Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 I really like these, a lot. I wish they'd do this full time.

infrared41 Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Those are so close to what they currently wear that they may as well not even bother.The "throwbacks" are so close to their current that it really doesnt matter, although they should use the helmets with the numbers...they look great. Having the number one one side of the helmet would be a great change.I find it humorous that there are people on this board of all places that think the Browns throwbacks are too close to their current uniforms to be considered throwbacks. We'll debate a shade of a color or facemask or the size of a stripe etc. for 50 pages but significant changes from The Browns' current set to the throwbacks aren't considered "significant" enough. You have to admit that on this board it's pretty ironic and pretty funny that some people on this board don't see the changes as being dramatic enough to warrant the throwback tag. We're all about the little things around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrewharrington Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 I actually wouldn't mind if the Browns used thin brown numbers like these on the current helmets, but that's the only thing I would ever accept on the helmet. I like it plain orange much better.

AJM Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Helmet numbers are great... they would even look good only one one side and leaving the other side as is.

Gothamite Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 To me, the sock striping and the absence of the "AL" patch make for great improvements. The helmet, however, is an unnecessary step backward.I'd agree. Those are two changes they should make to their uniforms full-time. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

Owned.And now on topic, I'll say it again: This has got to be the laziest attempt at a throwback since the Buffalo Bills busted out their "throwbacks" in 1994.

SmoothieX Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 The Browns couldn't find a way to look good if their lives depended on it.That throwback crap ian't different enough from the boring uninspired look they have today. If you are going to wear an alt, at least make it worthwhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 The Browns couldn't find a way to look good if their lives depended on it.Must respectfully disagree. The silly and arrogant "AL" patch aside, they have the best uniform in the NFL, my own Packers included. Not quite the Platonic Ideal of a professional football uniform, but not too far from it.
