patsox Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 With this concept, I wanted to give the Browns a fresh new look while keeping them a somewhat traditional-looking team. I love the Browns' colors so I kept them. Their uniform design is pretty boring and they don't have much of an identity. I decided to make the checkerboard pattern their new identity. The checkerboard pattern comes from the design that has been on the walls of their stadium for a while. I took that and ran with it. Some may find this to be a little out there, but I think it would work and I hope you do to. I also added the B from their wordmark to their helmet. Here is the concept. I'd really appreciate some feedback on this:Primary LogoHelmet:Home UniformAway Uniform Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bohob Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Personally, I think this is somewhat of a checker overload. I would probably use it as a trim. Also, with the helmet, I would use the =B= football, instead of a plain B, or you could try numerals on the helmet, like the throwbacks have. Right now, the wordmark is the strongest part of the concept.

logoman Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 I'm sorry, Patsox, but I don't think this is the answer for the Browns. The checkerboard pattern looks too college or minor league. Not to mention the brown pants. I do, however, think the brown facemask is a nice look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elliott Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Sorry, but no. The checkerboards are too small to be effective. And they should not go towards that motif. I'm not a huge fan of what they wear now, but this concept makes it look incredible. Sorry. I just really don't like this. Dribbble ...

logocruncher Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Just make each checker bigger so it's more obvious and that'll go a long way. Maybe even just use the checkers as trim for the collar and armholes. I appreciate the idea, but it just looks a little too busy on the sleeves as compared to everywhere else as is.

w00tness Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 I don't mind the whole checkered look idea - in fact, if executed properly, it could probably look very nice. The only problem I have with your concept it that the checkers are way too small, making the sleeves look like a lighter shade of brown from afar. Make them bigger, and maybe it'll look a tad bit better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firefly Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Yeah, bigger checkers, please.And I am not feeling the B on the helmet. I wouldn't mind seeing a checkered helmet instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chestnutz Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I tried out the checker pattern for the Browns as well, if you want to check that out.I agree the checkers are waaaay too small, it just looks like a pixely stripe. erikas | go birds | dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalktoChuck Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I agree with everyone else that the checkers need to be bigger. Also i think that numbers would work better instead of the B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Imperfect Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 The Browns don't need a logo on their helmet just like the Steelers don't need their logo on the left side of their helmet. It's classic. The only thing the Browns need is a new logo instead of using the helmet itself as a logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patsox Posted February 10, 2009 Author Share Posted February 10, 2009 UPDATE AFor this one I went with more of a Cleveland Cavs look.UPDATE BWith this one I stuck with the checkerboard pattern, but made it a little less gawdy I think. I added the checkers to the bottoms of the pants as well. C&C would be nice. Thank you in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swe3t Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I like version b although I think you should still use the =B= logo on the helmet. On the version a home uni, the two different colored patterns dont do it for me, my only suggestion to be would be to put a small white outline around the pattern and make the pattern orange and brown like the pants, I dont know if that would solve the problem, but it's the only thing I could think of.

KJTALBOT Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I would use a C on the helmet. For CLeveland. Everyone loves a roundel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuordr Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I'll start working on some revisions and post some updates within the next few days.If I had to pick, I would go with Update A. I like the look on side of the pants. But I do not like the helmet at all. Putting a letter B on the side of the helmet does not cut it for an NFL team. The logo should either be one of these or or http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/t..._B_logo.svg.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben5 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Both your updates look better, but neither is an upgrade from what they have now. I really don't think the "B" on the helmets is working. At least not that plain "B". And I recognize that you are trying to tie the Browns to the Cavs, but I think most Cleveland fans would rather see the Cavs uniforms made closer to the Browns. And maybe add a different colored background on these. It's really hard to see where the white stops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
