Sport Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Here's all I meant by it... a drop shadow is just meant to look like a shadow (a 2D plane) behind an object. These jerseys look like the numbers are actually 3D, with the depth portion being black.The left I would call a drop shadow effect and the right a 3D block number effect. The real jersey leak is the latter. Very subtle difference obviously, but I like the 3D block look better.Almost every drop shadowed number in pro sports has what you're calling a 3D number effect. the only difference is the Browns shadow goes the opposite direction and the top layer doesn't have an outline that matches the color of the drop shadow. It's no more three dimensional than any other drop shadow anybody else is using/has used. The only team I can think of at the pro level who used what you call a drop shadow was the Mets old BFBS unis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTrainGBR83 Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Yeah, these ones as well I would call true "shadow" effects since they look like flat shadows being cast behind the numbers rather than trying to make the numbers appear to have a depth to them: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sport Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 yeah, they're all drop shadows. You can't just change the meaning of that term. and that Ravens jersey is a knockoff and doesn't display their correct number style because they actually use what you're calling "3D" shadow. Though, the rest of us have been calling them a drop shadow for over a decade round these parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTrainGBR83 Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 OK we're just into semantics now. My initial point was that, at first glance, I thought the Browns jersey was "A" and then realized it's "B".In terms of what "drop shadow" means, I would point to the Photoshop layer style which will give you a 2D plane behind something but not that 3D block look. Obviously in the cases we're looking at it is nearly identical. I was just pointing out the minor difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the love of all that's Holy. Yes it is a drop shadow! Yes the numbers at also not outlined. Yes it's also being used in a more 3D effect.

Cosmic Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 I can't get over that these are *almost* changes that just get announced with a standard, no-frills press release out of the blue one day. Different facemask. Logo updated because it has the facemask on it. New secondary logo. Different shade of orange. Wearing a different color as your home look. The stripes are at a different angle and it has the CLEVELAND, yeah, but this is the most low-key rebrand ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, everyone labelled it as one, but this is nothing more than a color change and uniform update. A jersey change doesn't equal a rebrand. I've got a dribbble, check it out if you like my stuff; alternatively, if you hate my stuff, send it to your enemies to punish their insolence!

A jersey change doesn't equal a rebrand.I'm not sure its that simple though.Sure, they changed the shade of the 1 of the primary colors, they are also rumored to introduce gray. If the gray rumor is true, then modifying a color, updating a logo, completely changing the secondary mark, as well as changing the uniforms, with the possibility of adding a 3rd color of pants and 3rd color of jersey, that's a bigger change than just updating the stripes on the shirt.

AgentColon2 Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 I'm still frightened to see what kind of truncated pants stripe they will have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burgundy Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 I'm guessing the pants will say "BROWNS" down the side, possibly breaking up a traditional stripe that runs above and below it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLEstones Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 I'm guessing the pants will say "BROWNS" down the side, possibly breaking up a traditional stripe that runs above and below it.I don't think it will be gong down the side... like Boise State or the old Arkansas uniforms. I think we are going to see some sort of tramp stamp though. I wouldn't be surprised if BROWNS or CLE is somewhere on thebackside of the uniform. Possibly on the belt, possibly on the butt.As for the truncated pants stripes... I don't think it would be TERRIBLE, assuming its the tapered look at ONLY the top, liek we seen with the original Pro Combat uniforms at the college level. I think the truncated stripes would compliment the elongated sleeve stripes from the leaks (assuming the leaks are legit... which I don't think they are).

AgentColon2 Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Sweet baby Jesus. I didn't even think of that. It would play off that equally stupid Cleveland on jersey.The explinike would be "we really want to let everyone know who we are since there is no helmet logo." Jimmy Haslam trolling all the Browns fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lahaye7 Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 yes, the CLEVELAND, this is stupid for a NFL team. It's not CLEVELAND HIGH or CLEVELAND U. I don't mind the Orange and the dropshadow (it was worn in the past) Sweet baby Jesus. I didn't even think of that. It would play off that equally stupid Cleveland on jersey.The explinike would be "we really want to let everyone know who we are since there is no helmet logo."

JTrainGBR83 Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Maybe the orange jersey is a sort of throwback style, whereas the yet-to-be-leaked ones are an entirely different, more modern look. That's the only theory that avoids the tin foil hat while still making sense of the tweets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VikWings Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 The stripes extending onto the chest are awful. I hate on the Seahawks and I hate it now for the Browns (at least the Browns' doesn't extended all the way to the collar though).And the gigantic Cleveland wordmark is dumb.Other than those 2 things, these leaks, if true, are a lot tamer than I thought the jerseys would be.Hopefully the pants stripe is closer to traditional like the Vikings and not some terrible abstract design like the Bucs or Jags.
