ESTONES6 Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Man, these unis are going to look crazy nice!if by crazy nice you mean keeping one squinting eye on the past while looking at the future with a bold new look, heavy emphasis on futuristic. So which one of you actually has the inside track?

guest23 Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Man, these unis are going to look crazy nice!if by crazy nice you mean keeping one squinting eye on the past while looking at the future with a bold new look, heavy emphasis on futuristic. So which one of you actually has the inside track?I do. They are going to be consistent with the rich browns tradition but with a modern and cutting edge twist. Essentially recolored tosu rivalry uniforms with a brushed metal finish. The orange will be tweaked slightly to vol orange as an homage to haslam's deep ties to knoxville and not coincidentally nike's upcoming contract with the university. This will be a true example of nike leveraging it's modern design synergies while capturing the rich spirit of classic and nostalgic football.

TruColor Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 University of Tennessee Orange (circa 1997-present) = Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1977-1996; 2014-present): I would find it hard to believe that the Browns would go Creamsicle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will be the haslam signature stamp on the browns' new identity. You heard that here first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soarindude Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 I wouldn't mind a slight change to a Tennessee orange or Tampa Bay creamsicle for the Browns, but I'm not sure how well the fans would take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wonderbread Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 I wouldn't mind if they made the brown darker, just not lighter, and i dont want them to touch the orange at all, especially to Tennessee orange that is so ugly to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ESTONES6 Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 The brown is basically black, currently. A LITTLE bit lighter wouldnt hurt.

rgrn2777 Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 I heard that the helmet is staying the same. My prediction with the uniform is, that it'll only be minor changes. Nothing changed wholesale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSoundofThrowingPennies Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 I heard that the helmet is staying the same. My prediction with the uniform is, that it'll only be minor changes. Nothing changed wholesale.If it were minor it would have been unveiled this year. The two year process is reserved for teams completely revamping their look, like Seattle, Jacksonville, and Tampa Bay. Minnesota and Miami went with the one year process.

TheSoundofThrowingPennies Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Was Miami really a "minor" change?All they did was brighten the aqua and relegate orange to a teritary color. Even the logo change wasn't as drastic as people thought. Many of my friends who are casual fans didn't even notice the change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wonderbread Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 And change the stripesAnd the wordmarkAnd the fontAnd the helmetIt wasn't minor, neither was the Vikings. It's just some teams decided to take 2 years to change, others took 1, the Seahawks were another team that took 1 year to change as well. The length it took for a design to come out does not determine how major or minor the change will be, just that they descided to wait is all, or decided to change after the deadline for letting the league know so they have to wait another year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hawks took two years. They started working with Nike as soon as it was announced that Nike would be the official outfitter of the NFL. 2. Yes, the changes to Miami's look was drastic for uni nerds like us, but regular football fans hardly noticed a difference. Regular fans noticed Seattle and Jacksonville, and they will definitely notice Tampa Bay too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disclaimer: If this comment is about an NBA uniform from 2017-2018 or later, do not constitute a lack of acknowledgement of the corporate logo to mean anything other than "the corporate logo is terrible and makes the uniform significantly worse."

wonderbread Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Just because those two went with more traditional looks doesn't mean that they couldn't have come up with a crazy uniform in a year, or that one of the crazier uniforms couldn't have gone with a traditional look in 2 years, correlation does not mean causation. It is just a coincidence, the browns would be fools to go with a crazy uniform after being the most traditional looking team in the NFL during their entire history.
