  • Next couple years are gonna be fascinating, teed up by winning some games this year and then a windfall of draft picks and cash this offseason, stadium upgrades, and finally the new uniforms.

  • Screw new uniforms. Keep the old.

  • It's going to happen, Mik.

    And it's going to bring about a lot of young fans, as well as piss of old fans.

  • i don't mind the new color tweaks with the new numbers embroidered with colored edges, logo patches on the jersey, no probs. wider to narrow stripes on the helmet, no probs, even a flat paint job on the helmet for different games.

    but a logo on the helmet will NEVER happen. and the basic colors that we start tweaking (from the seal brown fading to a darker or lighter brown) same with orange will NEVER change.

    so what i described won't piss me off. it might piss those off that want fuscia and teal added to the uniforms.

    I don't think anyone is advocating adding tael or fuschia.

    I, too, want what you described. I want the overall look of the jerseys to stay the same, but modernized. I don't think we need any sort of drastic changes whatsoever. I believe that a jersey similar to Seattle's would be nice, with the orange used as an accent color on larger, more modern numbers.

    I think changing the helmet stripe minimally would go a long way. I'd personally like to see them emulate what OSU has done, widening the middle stripe, making the middle stripe metallic while the outside stripes are matte.

    We do not need a logo on the helmet. Our helmet stripe IS the logo. It's the focal point of the helmet and is easily recognizable. Accentuating that is all we need.

  • The brass has said over and over that the helmet won't have a logo, even if the team does (and it's rumored to be the brownie). They've also said that "The Browns" will obviously continue to feature brown as the primary color. In fact, they've said the color scheme (brown, orange, white) will remain the same.

    It'll be about design. We've seen some really cool stuff. If you really want the Browns to be just like always, Marion Motley wore a white helmet, not an orange one. Sipe wore orange pants while Hoyer wore brown. The shade of brown has changed a dozen times. The stripes have changed even more.

    The notion that we've always worn the same uniform is wrong.

  • Tony Grossi just tweeted a picture of the new giant video board that is going to be added. I can't embed a picture now from my phone, but I'm sure someone could do so.

  • sorry, don't tweet my little chickadee.

  • What does this mean.....

    "Currently, we have the lowest percentage of seating in the lower bowl than any stadium in the country," Banner said. ". . . Some of the upper-bowl seats will become lower-bowl seats."

    They will charge you more money for the same seat? Also it looks like they are adding a lot more add space....

  • Seating will go down to just over 68,000.

  • Anyone else a little annoyed at the added fans in the pictures showing the future renovations? It made it a lot harder to actually see the changes to the lower sections rather than saying "oh, hey, this new picture looks pretty".

    It means they're going to take about 10-15 rows of upper bowl, strategically demolish them, and add them to the lower bowl. It's not a tough job, if it's done right.

    It's similar to what Oakland does on a regular basis, but much more permanent.

  • What I see, primarily, is that they are taking away those 3000 seats in order to construct more billboard space for advertisements in their place. Perhaps, yes, the scoreboard will be enlarged.....but the ad space will be increased by a far greater degree.

    I mean, this is just a fucking Peggy Lee announcement: "Is that all there is"?

    There's no perhaps. Each endzone scoreboard will be tripled in sized, plus the addition of new LED video boards and video strips.

    The renderings and comparisons are pretty neat. It makes you realize just how antiquated our 15 year old stadium actually is.
