like the bottom one alot. i was trying to 'intertwine 2 Bs using block letters and it was horrible. i think the only way to accomplish that would have to be done like the example gftchris put up originally, with a font that is pretty thin and no offense to that football club's but the B in that looked to much like the red sox font and F them so......

remember also that this MIGHT be used on a hat which means embroidery. i did some american apparel beanies last year for a client who's logo had a lot of fine detail in it (like the laces in the football) which the embroiderer had a hell of a time with and a lot did not properly show and just lost it altogether in the fabric.

let's keep this one cuz if something happens with the hat idea i'll scrap that and do shirts. this would look dope on a brown heather. would just have to stroke the brown B all around.

good job squire.

Cool idea.....if you have any, I would take one of these in a 3XXX super small.......

Royce's back to back B's logo is inspired.

Put it on a cap and count me in...

Give it a Brown band, and send them Howie and Gareth and you would have the Browns version of these guys:

Or, hey.....in the words of Dr. Who: " A fez is cool" put your logo on this:

Closer to the "New Orange"

I didn't even consider the blight of the embroiderer... those were both just rough ideas to set a baseline. I'll try and refine things and/or come up with something new altogether when I get home.

The bottom one looks great. I think you need the Browns Board with the back to back B's to identify what that means.

don't worry about that anymore as i'm now leaning towards just doing shirts again. i can achieve a much higher quality with all the fine detail i want and put a lot more info on 2 sides of a shirt than just throwing a logo on a hat. besides i'd have to outsource the embroidery whereas i own my own silkscreen shop. just wanted to do something different... double Bs would be huge and costly.

BTW i used your design and changed up the font and came up with something really close but i don't want to post it without your permission.

Anything I post to this thread is open source to any Browns fan. I've been driving all over the Akron/Cleveland area today and have come up with a few ideas that I'll post later today.

I really wanna do a feast mode logo as well. I not only wanna welcome my boy Shelton to the land, but I also am a feast enthusiast.

well if doing a shirt we can definitely add more info....

here's my take on my fave of your ideas. just like a stronger more 'varsity' type font in the logo itself.

oh and whatever the people here like the most i'll still need help with other info, like a tag line on the back. last time i did shirts i just put a list of members on the back. maybe this time i'd like to feature the team or website here more predominately so a full chest print front and then on the back something like (but not limited to) '#1 CLEVELAND BROWN FORUM WITH _____ MEMBERS AND GROWING EVERYDAY" or more smarmy, who knows. you guys are all smart asses so lay out some ideas when it comes to that as well.

HA!! i know man, i shoulda conferred with my embroiderer before posting this. i mean i like you guys and all but a cost that i can control myself compared to a cost that would triple the price for a spot logo on a hat............

hell you better take me out to dinner first.

Just a few mock ups, like the minimalism of these. The one that doesn't say Browns Board is probably my favorite, because it's so simple.

dopeness! and i agree BUT i like the design aspect of the top one as well. i'm not limited to one color so the bottom design B config with a white stroke? and on the back we put THE BROWNS BOARD acroos the top in a 'varsity' font with some smarmy tagline(s).

thanks for your work dude, your stuff is really good.

i printed on orange last time and the feedback from my friends here was that people look like pumpkins when wearing them LOL.

[RoyceRolls]

yeah, I figured two or three screens wouldn't be a problem, I just really respond to the stark contrast and simplicity of just orange and brown. My favorite browns gear is the same way, no white, no black, but that's just a personal preference.

We should also honor Stockton with the tagline, something like "History will be kind to these posts"

or "God hates fags" -Diehardbrownsfan

that 'stark' contrast almost looks like a foil print. printing that is no problem except if using standard plastisol inks you're left with that heavy hand which can feel like a bullet proof vest in the summer time on a darker shirt like brown. i think we could accomplish a great look AND feel if i printed using discharge waterbased inks. it gives you a washed out vintage look and there is absolutely no hand to it. did it last time on a gildan 100% cotton dark brown:

I'm all for the vintage look

Mik, if you want to take a simpler approach, I like having something big like the BB logo Royce came up with on the BACK, then maybe just "THE BROWNS BOARD" (just letters) on the front left chest. I personally don't like big designs on the front of t-shirts. On the back it's no problem. But I'll wear it either way.
