dmhtfld Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Pretty cool concept i had after i saw this alternate Sacremento Kings logo. I changed the colors and modified it to look like hes wearing a football jersey not a basketball.I also used the slightly modified version of the old prototype CB logo.Here is what i came up with for the uniform.

dmhtfld Posted July 9, 2011 Author Share Posted July 9, 2011 I mean I guess it looks alright, but uhhhh why would a Lion be the logo....?The same reason a dog would be a logo for the Browns. Just to have a logo for the Browns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lights Out Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 But the NFL's lion quota is already filled. And the dog logo actually makes sense because of the Dawg Pound. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9erssteve Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 I mean I guess it looks alright, but uhhhh why would a Lion be the logo....?The same reason a dog would be a logo for the Browns. Just to have a logo for the Browns.Sorry but that's not a good enough reason. That's the graphics equivilent of a kid saying "because" when asked why they did something. For any logo to succeed, and especially one where there is already a well established identity, there has to be a strong and overiding reason for EVERYTHING done in the logo.Right now you've got a half decent illustration of a lion and made it brown to fit, when what you should have done is come up with a mascot that IS the Cleveland Browns, or at least have a list of cohesive reasons why the Browns should be represented by a lion when there is already a team in the NFL called the Lions.So yeah, obvious brand infrigements aside I think you need to come up with a better reason than "cos it's cool" to throw away the DECADES of association that the Cleveland Browns have with their nickname the Dawgs.9erssteve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGCleveland Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Yeah I mean the dog makes sense because of Hanford Dixon referring to the Browns end zone fans as the "Dawg Pound" and the name just stuck. I hope you would know that the dawg logo isn't just for the hell of it... And for the record, youre the only browns fan I've seen even suggest that we move away from our traditional Orange helmet with brown and white striping. I don't like the concept because it pays no attention to what the organization is built on, which is tradition. And if you're going with a brown jersey, you're gonna need to have white numbers or else watching games on TV would be unbearable. /rant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Impaler Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 I love these uniforms for any other brown and orange team out there. For the Browns it just makes absolutely no sense. At all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Somppi Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 Maybe if you made a dog into the same shape as the lion? Just an idea, then it would be your work instead of a recolor. Auburn University Alum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airmerz Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 That alternate logo you refer to is the NBA's Sacramento Kings, not the NHL's Los Angeles Kings. The Kings use a Lion as an alternate because the Lion is the "King of the Jungle." It makes no sense for the Browns to be represented by a Lion. Sorry, bro.

YessSir32 Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 I like it, but it doesn't fit for the Browns. Maybe you should try it for my hometown Lions. Detroit Falcons (NABL) | Detroit Gears (UFL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Impaler Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Yes. But the striping still doesn't make sense. Also, I would switch up the brown home numbers to either orange outlined with white or white outlined with orange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
