bowld Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Is it me or does the wordmark on the pants make it look like they just have a big orange stripe down their legs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJ Sands Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 I showed my GF a picture of the Browns playing tonight and asked her about their uniform. "I think it's stupid." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JESSEDIEBOLT Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 I don't think the word mark on the legs is the worst thing in the world but I think it'd all look better with the stripes continuing down the leg instead.Also, I think the brown socks look okay.

jp1409 Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 According to their Facebook post annoncing the combo for tonight at least 1 person out of 3 mentions being embarrassed by the pants wordmark or are hoping it is removed asap. The brown pants brown socks also comes out as problem for almost everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveindc Posted August 21, 2015 Author Share Posted August 21, 2015 I think the word mark on the pants works here, because the word "Browns" is a symbol of the team the same way tiger stripes are to the Bengals. So it works the same way the Bengals have tiger stripes going down their legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiddySicks Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Watching the Bills Browns game tonight, the only part of the Browns set that REALLY annoys me are the pants. The rest isn't that bad. The new Orange is definitely better. Everything else is just as meh as it was before. On 11/19/2012 at 7:23 PM, oldschoolvikings said: She’s still half convinced “Chris Creamer” is a porn site.)

fouhy12 Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 I think the orange numbers really stand out in a bad way with the brown pants. The pants look like they belong to another uniform set. From head to waist, the browns look like an orange colored team. From the waist down, they look like a brown team. It's really throwing me off. fouhy12's NFL Concepts 2020 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenD Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 i was never a fan of the switch to orange numbers and i can only imagine how bad it'll look with orange pants. btw i actually really liked the orange pants from the 80's, but these will just be overkill with the orange Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jungle Jim Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Now that I've seen these in action I think they're awful and a big downgrade from what they had. All they had to do was tweak the old set by adding striping to getting rid of their brown pants and they would have been fine.My edit to your post.

Call it an unpopular opinion, but I didn't mind the old brown pants, even though striping would have made them a lot better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCL Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 The new Browns unis really look like something Bowling Green should be wearing, I predict the Browns return to a more traditional set in the next 4-5 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodboy13 Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Someone posted a pic last night of the Browns' punter, and it genuinely looked like the pants and sock tops were a single piece. I know we've been tossing around this term for over a decade now, but it genuinely looked like he was wearing leotard pants.

MJWalker45 Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Is it me or does the wordmark on the pants make it look like they just have a big orange stripe down their legs?From far away it does, which in a way I like. But I also want the striping to run further down the leg instead of stopping long the upper thigh.i was never a fan of the switch to orange numbers and i can only imagine how bad it'll look with orange pants. btw i actually really liked the orange pants from the 80's, but these will just be overkill with the orange I'm in agreement. The orange numbers might look ok with orange pants and pretty good with white pants but with brown pants I feel brown numbers work better. I still feel the brown jerseys should use white numbers too.

TheOldRoman Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 The new Browns unis really look like something Bowling Green should be wearing, I predict the Browns return to a more traditional set in the next 4-5 years.Some of us have been saying it since the unveiling. They look like Bowling Green. Not just a MAC school, but a poorly-dressed MAC school. I fully believe that considering the team history and what they should have done in a rebrand, this set is a bigger failure than the Buccaneers' new unis. It's the worst in football, and literally every element is worse than the corresponding element from the previous set.As for changing back, we'll see. The current owner is likely horrible, so it's possible he'll interpret fan hatred as them not going modern enough. They might try to make something even worse in a few years.

Sport Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 If I didn't know better I'd say that Baby Hawk looks like he's wearing brown athletic tights. My girlfriend has a pair of brown leggings exactly like those except they're more tasteful because they don't say BROWNS down the leg. She wears them for casual outings in Fall and Winter. The Bills look great. They're dropping navy blue away from having the best unis in Football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Noire Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 The horrible wordmark stripe goes without saying, but aside from that I thought the Browns looked good. I wish they had the orange socks on for sure, but it wasn't bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayMac Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 No NFL team should ever have a large wordmark on its jersey or pants. It's such Sun Belt Conference amateurism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to get off topic on the Browns, but I'd rather see the Bills put red in the center of the sleeve stripes (particularly on the road) for consistency with the helmet and pants before dropping navy. I think that would do much more to improve their look. Nike + CFL 2015 | 2015-16 NBA Concepts | Complete College Football Redesign Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bills look great. They're dropping navy blue away from having the best unis in Football. Pairing up those pants and those socks makes this the worst look in the NFL, currently. I'm sure not all of the Browns various combinations would be worse than what Tampa or Jacksonville can pull off, but this unbalanced, mostly orange from the waste up, and the most laugh inducing leotard from the waste down look is amazingly ugly to me.Brown dance tights with giant lettering? It's like someone set out to make the players look like absolute morons. And succeeded. http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
