I Love Uniform Talk
-
Well hell you know what's not gay? Suffering through another ten seasons of 5-11 football.
Early man walked away as modern man took control. Their minds weren't all the same and to conquer was their goal. So He built his great empires and he slaughtered his own kind, and he died a confused man and killed himself in his own mind... -
That's the tradition of the browns for at least 14 seasons (and several before the move)
-
and putting on a different colored pair of socks is going to change that?
-
It'll hopefully entice some young, selfish, image obsessed douches (almost every single player in the NFL) to not phone it in in Cleveland.
-
And serve as a visual symbol that things are different in Cleveland. Let me clue you in...guys like josh Gordon don't give the first damn about the tradition of the browns. He's phoning it in just like so many others before him.
-
Listen, I don't care if they want to switch up the unis a bit. But not because its going to make the players feel better and therefore perform better.
That's just fucking stupid.
Once they are on the field, their career is on line every week, you've got coaches barking at you, and you'll get hammered if you aren't 100% invested. No one is thinking about the uniform at that point. No one.

Find me a quote from a professional football player that says he plays better in a more stylish uniform.
You won't ... But if you did, I would call bullshit on it because once the bullets start flying you don't even remember how you "felt" before the game.
Its a fucking war out there.
You know what makes football teams play better?
Good quarterbacks.
Teams with good quarterbacks usually win, teams with bad quarterbacks usually lose.
Then comes coaching.
And blocking and tackling.
Speed, route running and executing schemes.
Catching the fucking football.
Not one game was won by a fucking uniform stripe ever.
You guys are fucking idiots.

Saying flashy uniforms recruit high school kids is a big fucking leap from saying that they make NFL players play better, Chachi.

--do you know what recruits in the NFL? coaching staff and ... A good fucking QB. Jaguars have great colors ... do you think free agents are lining up to spend their career with Blaine Gabbert?

This is amazing how long this thread is that I started about a yr ago......You all now how I feel about the Uniforms. The tradition things just needs to go away, there is no tradition but losing in Cleveland!!!!!!!
We have had 8 winning seasons in the last 33 years!!!!! 4 winning season in the last 23 yrs!!!!!!

WHy is it other coaches and regimes come through Cleveland ththave won previously elsewhere but can't replicate it in Cleveland? I'll tell you. It's the uniforms. The are dull, boring and uninteresting. If we had a logo, and some new unis to go along with it, I gaurantee the players would "feel" better look better and PLAY better.
Time for an upgrade.

Exactly.... when I read all this jibberish about uni's, the FIRST THING that pops into my mind is, these guys have never ever played football. Because its just as you say, its a WAR, competition, not a freakin' fashion show. This is football and any player that's worth a damn knows this. AND quite frankly if there was any players who were more concerned about looking better than the other guy opposed to doing their job and kicking the other guys ass, I would want them off of my team ASAP.

Ahh, this is incorrect... sure its been a rough road since the return, but our tradition does not suck! Do you think steeler fans say their tradition sucks? I don't know exactly what their records have been each year, but I'm almost positive that they were mediocre or bad for a few decades or so. Just like a lot of other NFL teams, I'm sure damn near every franchise has had their dark days. We all feel your pain. Its not easy to be so emotionally wrapped up in a team you love and have to watch them fail. Cleveland Browns football teams have had some glory years, we all want to get back to that asap and I have to believe we will. Just hang in there and when we do get back to the top, it will be just THAT MUCH SWEETER!!

Sorry buccko- too bad you weren't around in the 40s-50s when the Browns did not suck. If then was now, ESPN would have declared Otto Graham able to walk on water and raise the dead for playing in 10 straight Super Bowls, winning seven of them.
So care to explain how changing the uniforms is going to change the tradition of losing? Tampa Bay's Extreme Makeover lasted a year or two, and it was right back into the dumpster. How about finding the next Peyton Manning and Reggie White instead to put inside those drab old dated uniforms?

I don't think anybody thinks the uniform will cause them to play better. Sticking by this arguement makes you short sighted. I already gave you several other reasons why is want to see the uniform changed.

And they will go play somewhere else and we'll have 50 more years of 5-11 seasons. Fuck 5-11. Fuck Tradition. I want to win at all costs. If a cooler uniform pumps our guys up to win, do it.
--Cysco Kid 9/10/13
If you feel better you work better. It's as simple as that.
--Cysco Kid
Actually You said it.
In that article you linked, those players are saying it would be cool to change them up. I'm saying it's OK to change them up (Same colors, same helmet ... that's all I care about).
None of the players are saying they would play better.
It's a fucking ridiculous notion, you know it, and now you are backtracking.
You act like I don't want the uniforms to change. I don't care. Change them up. Just start winning.
But I'm telling you ... the helmet will be the same and the colors will be the same.
And if we start winning I bet it's because we finally found a fucking quarterback not because Josh Gordon woke up with new piping down the side of the unis.

Perhaps, from a psychological standpoint, you could argue that a different colour would make them play better. At a guess, brown is a colour likely to make the wearer slightly more depressed. If they're surrounded by it, like on a line, it might have a compounded effect. But, of course, that's all extremely tentative guesswork. I'm no psychologist - I did a real degree and have a real job

You're deluded. Would you feel better at work in a burlap sack or an Armani suit?
If you feel better you work better. It's as simple as that.

I don't like wearing suits. I work in an office that is very casual, and that works for me. I'm a t-shirt and jean guy the rest of the time, so the Armani suit analogy is a bad analogy for me.
