Are You In Favor Of New Uniforms?
-
With Haslam set to take over ownership many have speculated he may possibly make some major changes to the team from a marketing standpoint.
Now let's be honest unless you are a Browns fan chances are no one is rocking Browns gear because Brown and Orange are not the greatest of color combos.
For me personally I would love to see a revamp of the unis, to something of a dark bronze on the shoulder pads to white jerseys with dark brown almost black letters and outlining.
Just something really bad ass, with the Browns Dawg on the helmet.
The passing of Modell also got me thinking, we are named after Paul Brown, who as you all know was canned by Modell and then went on to found the Bengals.
Then Modell moves the team to Baltimore in 1995.
Now this is my personal opinion - others may choose to look at it differently and I respect that, but to me the Ravens are the former Browns and this team we have is like some kind of bodysnatcher.
We are an expansion franchise wearing the deceased colors and using the name of our former home team, these Browns have been an abomination.
So is this team named the Browns cursed? Are we angering the football gods calling ourselves the team that left us in 1995? Is it a good idea to keep the name of the man fired in 1963?
Would we be better of letting go of the past and starting anew ?

We could be the Cleveland Steamers.

As long as they don't wear a terrible modern uniform like the Bills (before 2011), the Vikings, the Seahawks, the Cardinals, etc., then I'm fine with change.
My only requirement is that the helmet stays the same dammit.
-
On Madden at least, Cleveland has Nike White Alternates for this upcoming season and I like them a lot. The are primarily the same except the brown numbers appear a tad lighter with an orange drop shadow. Also included are brown socks with just two orange stripes. Very clean the only problem is that I cannot find if they are really going to be used.

it unny how people get so mad over changing the uniforms...Why not?? keep the Brown and Orange and update it!!! we are not living in the 60s or 70s or 80s or 90s.....Hell if we were I would not be paying almost 4 bucks for gas!!!!! Everything gets upgraded. Please stop telling about our history blah blah blah....Almost every team in the NFL has upgraded but the Browns...
Rams
Bucs
Seahawks
Pats
even Steelers
Benguls
Bills
thats just some off the top of my head...There is nothing wrong with adding a Alt Color..I would really like to see them wear something like Clemson has.
I hate the all white uniforms!!!!!!!

I'd say your viewpoint is skewed. Tampa's unis are the ONLY NFL team makeover I've seen I thought was a definite improvement. And my point of reference starts in 1960. OK, the Steelers unis of the 40s and Decatur Staley's (who became the Chicago Bears) sucked- But we're talking leather helmet days there. Incidentally- I think the Denver Donkeys new rags are hideous.
This ain't a fashion show- it's football. To an extent, every team has been attacked by the fashion police already. Gotta have "darker" hues on the home unis. The Browns official color is "seal" brown. Hate to tell you the current tint isn't seal brown. Let's just take it to it's logical conclusion and have every team wear badass black at home, like the Raiders. (funny, Raiders stuff really appeals to gangs) The Packers and Colts unis have been essentially unchanged like forever. Winning will shut the fashion police up- as it did for those two teams. Wow, green and yellow- or sky blue are SO fashionable. NOT!!! So if you want cool unis go root for the Oregon Yucks. And say a prayer for the slave labor Nike uses in Sri Lanka or Indonesia.
-
you could put a stroke of color around the numbers on the unis and that goes as far as i'd take it. (on white jerseys with brown numbers throw a stroke of orange around it. same with brown jerseys with white numbers, orange stroke.
-
How can somebody say they would root for the Browns no matter which city they played for? If it was the Baltimore Browns, your saying you would have left with them?
-
I love when people say you must be young because you want change. Let me guess you still have a pager because you like old things. There is nothing wrong with change at ALL. I am not saying change the colors or even the helmet. How about add a color or change the shadewof the color.
Yes the NFL is about MONEY just like everything else!!! So if its about money you market towards people who buy jerseys and hats. Who buys these things the 15-30 yrs olds!!!!
As for Vick not defending him just showing facts someone said what has he done, and I proved he has done a shit tone more than any QB we have had in 20 yrs...

History? The Greeks had a glorious history. The British had a glorious history. Where are they now? The once mighty empires have crumbled. One is broke while the other is a shadow of its former self. The USA does not have such a long history in comparison. Who is the powerhouse in the latest century?
History is a reference to who you were not an indicator of who you will become.
The Cleveland Browns named after Paul Brown has moved. The Soul(Paul Brown) moved to Cincinnati and became the Bengals. The Body(The Team/People) left to Baltimore leaving the obituary page in Cleveland. What came back was a sheep in dogs clothing. They have inherited the history that belongs to somebody else but they are now part of our Citys family. And they are us.
Will anyone have a problem if it was the NY Giants who moved here and won two superbowls as the Cleveland Giants? I bet we wont have any trouble with a winner if they won instead of supporting a team struggling to have a winning record. So, I dont see any problem with what the name of the team is.

First off, you are double fucking dumbass wrong about the "Soul" and The Body. We fans are the Soul and the City of Cleveland and Northeast Ohio is The Body.
That history doesn't belong to any other motherfuckers on earth than us.
So get that straight in your brain...or employ Mr. Colts invention on it.

The third question of this poll is stupid, I'm a Cleveland Browns fan. Not just a Cleveland Fan, or a Browns fan. A Cleveland Browns Fan. But you didn't put that choice in there. If they moved to another city and were still called the Browns, I wouldn't watch them. I doubt many people in LA follow the St. Louis Rams, or in St. Louis following the Arizona Cardinals. And I highly doubt any sucker in Baltiwhore is following the Indianapolis Colts.

I've been in support of changing or tweaking the uni's for a looooong time. What is encouraging is the vote count isn't all that bad, showing more and more that others wouldn't mind a change too.
I'm pumped to have Haslam, and looking forward to a progressive thinking ownership.
Cleveland fans are unfortunately much like the city - stodgy, stubborn and out of touch with many things.
I really don't get why so many are so against a little change.

Exactly... Question 3 kept me from registering my opposition to both Uniform and name change. I see I am not alone and that means any results for Q's 1 and 2 are skewed.

What about:
- the original Bengal uniforms? The "Bengal" on the helmits alone are worth making the list.
- the original Bronco uni's? Can you say vertical stripes?
-
HELL NO! Leave the name, colors, and especially the helmet ALONE!

If the Browns did what the Seahawks did with their unis this year.
I'm awesome, and I fuck dolphins. Ghoolie 12/2/2012: I have absolutely no skills, training or pride -
The Browns have one of the best looking uniforms in the NFL. Why would they change that?

Born and raised in Akron area. A new name and costumes wouldn't kill me. I just want to have a competent coaching staff, players who can and want to play and an owner who gives a shit. Having my Browns jersey on nowadays is like having a yellow Alfred E Newman tee shirt that reads "What? Me Worry" on. People look and laugh and all I can do is laugh with them. I still wear it though.

I like it. I think Brown on Brown would be pretty cool, that's how I set it up on Madden. Sorry, yes I am a Madden player.

Madden is garbage, I can't believe millions of people dish out 60 bucks every year for that crap game.
