  • Personally, not a big fan of the elf. I don't really understand the connection (yes, I know the back story) but it still doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. However, I know there are quite a few people whom still really like it. I would not be opposed to keeping it on media guides, promotional material, etc. just definitely not on the uniforms. Also, i feel like the Dawg Pound is more of a connection to the fan base as opposed to the team. I"m a part of the 80s/90s generation so to me it has much more significance. I can be swayed with the argument to make it part of the culture and make it the "official mascot or logo" of the browns. However, they have to find a way to make it unique and cool. Most of the stuff they have shown so far sucks. Traditional is good but if they are going to reboot the uniforms, they better have a wide variety of fans polled. Not sure if they went "totally classic" it's going to do much better than the new ones that are already being scrapped. Whether people want to admit it or not, they do have to sell to the younger generations especially in jersey sales.

    hmm.......kinda like knowing there's dark matter in the universe but not understanding how it doesn't interact with regular matter.  -  Well, I guess they're not alike...since one of these concepts is really easy to understand.....and one of them is really hard.

    Browns color rush jerseys are brown, with orange stripes and numbers. No white at all on jersey.

    .........The old rules allowed throwbacks twice and color rush once, and in some places that was two or three too many. The league has ditched the requirement that teams wear them for Thursday night games, and teams may now wear the alternate uniform(s) of their choice up to three times, total.

    But it’s also a marketing opportunity for teams which actually like the monochromatic look, or have alternates that people actually like (like the Rams).......

    Ah yes good ol' American capitalism at work.

    Is this a great country or what!  😍

  • The problem was that when the Browns wore color rush jerseys, they wore all brown, which did make them look like walking turds.

    I’m an isolated Browns fan in Omaha, so maybe that’s why I haven’t noticed it; but Browns “fans” actually switch to the Steelers?!

    I’m not sure why, but there is a Sheet ton of Steelers fans in Omaha; every time I see someone with a Steelers license plate frame, I’m doing well to just honk and flip them off.

    I really want to shoot out their tires lol.

  • put The Elf at the 50 with it giving the finger

  • Hope he comes back. When I go out state and talk about football the Browns shitty logo always comes up. Our logo is a Shmuck3n helmet no design just a boring butt helmet.

    But why would a logo need to be scary?   I'm not too scared of a cardinal.  I like the name St. Louis Blues and their logo...

  • It's the other teams and fans look at it as a cartoon elf.

    I'm not the STHOR. Season ticket holder of record. As I understand it, one card gets you % discount at the stadium team shop. The other card is preloaded with $$ (don't ask me how much) that you can use to buy hot dogs and such at games.  If you didn't get one, talk to your customers relations guy. 

  • What's everyone's thoughts on the Dawg Pound and dawg-related logos for the Browns?

    Ingrained now into Browns lore or something that is dated and needs to be moved on from?
