It's Official
-
Haslam will be live on ESPN Cleveland.
-
There were some things I did despise about Pussy as well, like forcing his system on players and hiring the worst coach in the league in Vagina.

I think it would be an atrocious idea. He's been talking about the great tradition and history of the Browns franchise. Well, the uniforms and colors are part of that tradition and history. Changing them would be a PR disaster.

And Heckkkkkert better stay. He is the best thing that has happened to Cleveland since 1999.

NFL network to carry the Haslem presser at 1:20 pm

What's wrong with a little T & A ?
I'd say the fan base is split 60/40 on uniforms, with the majority in favor of keeping them the same.
Haslam has stated he is open to making changes from a marketing standpoint which includes uniforms, and personally I think it'd be great to start this new era with a fresh look.
We don't need cheerleaders. We don't need new uniforms. Put together a winning team and the marketing will take care of it's self!

Cheerleaders are a marketing expense- you think they're going to work for free? I've been to plenty of away games, and to me cheerleaders are a distraction (Ben-gals). You want cheerleaders, go to your local High school game or Ohio State's. IMHO don't need cheerleaders. Start playing exciting football, and the cheering will take care of itself.
You want to see T&A, there's plenty of great free porn available 24\7 on the Internet.
& We've been through this 1,000 times on the board. The uniforms have already been "tweaked" a bunch of times. Orange pants, Brown pants. One thing that should NEVER be changed is the helmet. As the only team in the NFL that doesn't have a logo on the helmet- that makes it unique. You probably would think Penn State should put a Nittany Lion (whatever the hell that is) on their helmets too.

That's arguable, and even if it were true it still doesn't mean he's good enough.

The presser is on now

This is a little off topic, but I would like cheerleaders and new uniforms. I think the old school uni's are stale, and would be all for a more modern design. I am torn about changing the helmets as part of it, but if the design was right I would be cool with it.
Cheerleaders are lame...who really cares that we don't have them? Is that a reason to go to the game? Changing the uniforms is an absolute no. If Haslam wants to piss of the entire fan base, he'll decide to change the uniforms or helmets.

Cheerleaders are not lame.

I am not saying to change the colors, but a new design and mixing it up with some different combinations of orange and brown as well as something fresher than just stripes at the shoulder pads would be cool with me and all of my friends who are Browns fans. I like what the Seahawks did with their uni's for example. I think "PR disaster" is a bit exaggerated.

That works for me. I like him. He seems like a no nonsense kind of guy who is going to be involved with everything. Good times are ahead I think.

If we do fire Penis, there's always a chance the new GM is a "Savage" like GM.

You're right - we HAVE been through this a thousand times. And for the 1,000th time, I think this is archaic thinking and the Browns fan base needs to recognize that change isn't necessarily bad. If you stand by the "If they win it doesn't matter" mentality, then you should also accept this the other way. If they win, why do you care if they want to change the uniforms or add cheerleaders?
Newsflash: The new owner is a smart businessman.
Newsflash: Haslam understands marketing. His wife is one of the top marketing execs in the world.
Newsflash: Jimmy knows if would NOT be a PR disaster because the true fans that continued to flock and follow this team through the crappy-ass Lerner era won't turn away from their team if it adds another color, changes the uniforms, adds cheerleaders, etc.
Simply put - If you/we ARE truly die-hard fans, our support won't waiver if changes like this are made. Randy was too much of a pussy to make changes and didn't have the balls to do anything. This is why his team continued to fall behind the rest of the NFL on the field and in the marketing realm. Hell, his idea of getting feedback from the fanbase was to bring in the moronic dawgbone-hat wearing buy that WELCOMED Chad Johnson into the Dawg Pound after he scored against us (I'm sooooo glad Lerner is gone)...
To this day I feel that a-hole fan should be banned from the stadium.
Haslam comes off like a take-charge guy that won't take shit or be swayed by idiots. He will do what he thinks is most beneficial to A) Win games B ) Make money.
Marketing goes hand-in-hand with point B, so I would recommend everyone to be prepared for changes all around. I, for one, am excited for ALL changes.
Again, if you want to play the "Win, and the uniforms don't matter" argument, then understand what you are saying.
Because it is the same as "Win, and new uniforms/colors/cheerleaders/etc don't matter".
You are, in essence, okay with the changes as long as they win. You are also okay with no changes if they win.
If you are implying that if they make changes and lose, then you will no longer be a fan, then you are just lying to yourself. Because this is the Browns. This is our city and our team. We will follow and support them unconditionally because we are the best fans in the NFL - period. It doesn't matter if they make changes or not.
Plus, we can always look forward to the few times per year they put the throwbacks on again...
CHANGE IS GOOD -

Haslam reminds me of a retired Marine Corps officer. He isn't going to put up with any BS.
Sometimes having an activist owner works- sometimes it doesn't. (Jerry Jones) However- and I'll let Ghoolie comment on this- Haslam was in charge of the biggest chain of Truck Stops in the country. He didn't get that way hiring Bozos to run his gas stations. + he had time as minority owner of the Squealers to investigate how an NFL franchise is run properly. Time will tell.
It certainly was time for Lerner to sell out, move to England to watch Aston Villa.

Then if you understand marketing- Haslam is essentially buying a "Brand".
Care to tell me how "New Coke" worked out?
IMHO- the ONLY team to successfully re-make their "image" was the Tampa Bay Bucs. And IMHO- the reason that worked out? The team started winning!!! Cool duds haven't to my knowledge ever won a game in the NFL. And hate to break it to you- Halam is already on record- the orange helmets stay. Haven't seen some of the other "traditional" teams fans (Packers, Bears, Lions) fans screaming for a makeover either. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. You may think the Broncos new unis are way cool- I happen to think they're hideous. Smart marketers (like you're saying Haslam is) will know the "we want change" crowd is in the minority. Sorry about that.
