Brown pants on the road??

I don't like the brown pants at all, they should bring back the Orange pants of old.

Hey Peens can I book this prediction like Cribbs kicking ass at safety?
I don't have official numbers and nor do you, but light tops are a big deal early on for at least a month.
The Browns themselves have used their whites predominantly at home, which has pissed me off. Another thread and comment to follow from you Peens.
As I said, I think whites help more in heat then dark does in cold. A few degrees cooler when 90 helps more than a few degrees when it is 17.
As to Cribbs...very funny...lol....it may still happen....and it really wasn't a prediction....it was my opinion...and it still is...if I was the man, Cribbs would be my kick-butt safety.

I would be curious if anybody has stats on the jersey thing. To me, it's been conventional wisdom for years that home teams chose their light jerseys to start the season and generally kept them even when the weather changed. Even in 70 degree temps a darker jersey can make a huge heat difference, and a ton of teams play south far enough where those temps can hang through the end of October.
In the NBA for example, the home team generally goes all white. Since the Browns have done the same for years much to my chagrin, I am assuming most of the league follows suit (no pun intended). However, I just saw the highlight of Brady going down in KC last year wearing white, while KC was wearing red at home and KC can get hot as hell the first month and a half or so.
Either way, I stand by my stance that the Browns certainly will not wear Brown pants on the road for 8 games. The only way they would is if they went Brown on Brown, and that isn't going to happen IMO.
As a personal preference, I have always loved our Brown jerseys, and the days of orange pants and Browns jerseys was the best. Now it they do the Brown pants correctly with stripes and not the spandex look, they could be pretty cool. I do not like the orange jerseys mostly because of the day glo gay glo colors they chose rather than traditional orange. I'd much rather see a combo of orange pants and brown jerseys than the opposite. To me, since the team has traditionally wore white jerseys at home most of the time it would make more sense to don the Brown pants at home, but that's just me.
As far as Cribbs ball busting goes, I stand by my original premise. He better be Ed Reedesque to take him away from all the other things he brings to the table, so IMO you opinion is seriously flawed.
Can someone find uni stats?

Seems to me the Browns have been wearing their brown jerseys at home almost exclusively for the past 3 or 4 seasons.
Dallas & Washington are the only teams I know of that always wear white jerseys at home. Virtually all of the other NFL teams opt to wear their colored jerseys for all home games, regardless of the weather.
I did like those orange pants of the 70s & early 80s.

Well, let's review the Road schedule:
2 Sep 20 CLE @ DEN Invesco Field at Mile High 4:15 PM .... The Broncos have never in my recollection worn white at home....likelyhood of Brown pants...HIGH
3 Sep 27 CLE @ BAL M&T Bank Stadium 1:00 PM ... The Rats have worn white at home a few times, but I have noticed they ALWAYS wear that hideous Grape shiite when playing AFC North teams....likelyhood of Brown pants...HIGH
5 Oct 11 CLE @ BUF Ralph Wilson Stadium 1:00 PM ....The Bills have occasionally worn white at home, but it's NEVER hot in Buffalo....likelyhood of Brown pants....GOOD
6 Oct 18 CLE @ PIT Heinz Field 1:00 PM ....The Cheaters NEVER wear white in the Mustard Pit.....likelyhood of Brown pants.....VERY HIGH
8 Nov 01 CLE @ CHI Soldier Field 1:00 PM .....Da Bearz NEVER wear white at home.....likelyhood of Brown pants.....VERY HIGH
11 Nov 22 CLE @ DET Ford Field 1:00 PM ....The Lions have started to mix things up and will be sporting new unis this year, but historically they wear Blue at home.....likelyhood of Brown pants....MODERATE
12 Nov 29 CLE @ CIN Paul Brown Stadium ....The Bungholes occasionally sport the white at home, but like the Rats they always seem to wear the Black versus the AFC North teams.....likelyhood of Brown pants....HIGH
15 Dec 20 CLE @ KC Arrowhead Stadium 1:00 PM ....I have NEVER seen the Chiefs wear white at home.....likelyhood of Brown pants.....HIGH
So, if we're gonna wear 'em, good chance we'll see 'em alot. I'm not a big fan of toying with the uniform. I like the white/white combo very much myself, but if we're winning I don't care if they're wearing Danskin dance pants.

Yeah I thought we were wearing Brown at home too... We wore White v. the Raturds in baltimore.
ANd yes, orange pants with white jerseys and brown jerseys would be awesome.

How the hell do you remember what each team wears at home? My god, your mind is almost brilliantly autistic or something. I can't remember what I wore yesterday or even earlier today.
I still find it hard to believe a team would give up an advantage of wearing dark unis in the heat if given the choice, sounds stupid to me. For those who played football, the difference in wearing a dark jersey to light jersey in any temps over about 60 are huge in the daytime.
Maybe it's college I'm thinking of, those southern teams play in some pretty extreme heat in the hottest part of the day.
Is a pig's ass pork? -
I would go with these combos
white jersey/brown pants
brown jersey orange pants
still no logo on the helmet but I do like the numbers on the side.
I know I am in the minority probably but if I was in charge that is how it would be.
And since Lumbergh hasn't posted in this thread yet...........DA sucks go Quinn

To me, it's been conventional wisdom for years that home teams chose their light jerseys to start the season and generally kept them even when the weather changed.
It hasn't. For years and years, the Cowboys and Browns were the only teams to wear white at home.....how often over the years have you seen Dallas in their blue jerseys?? Not that often.
That is why until recently you rarely saw the Browns in their brown jerseys.
Most teams wear their colors at home and whites on the road.
I like the whites because that is what we wore when we were good.

How about adding a tannish color?

Tan??? Uh no, it's the Browns, not the Tans.

The story that i've inherited from my father is that Modell wanted to give his home fans an opportunity to see the opposing team in their colors.
Separately (and not from my father), i've heard that their is a slight competitive advantage in sticking with the whites. That is because the skilled positions don't have to alternate their eye between darks and whites from game to game. i'm not sure i buy into that.

An "old school" thought on this subject..
Wearing white gave the appearance of being bigger.... Hense a subconscience effect by the opponents that the team wearing white was physically bigger...

Glad to see a couple of old timers showing up to verify what this old timer has been saying...we have worn white at home since the days of Paul Brown.
I too have heard the white makes you look bigger theory.

Brown shirts with a tan/ wheat color pants.

Not a lover of the white on white. Hated when the old LA Rams wore it, too. I think that's why I liked the Brown pants.Again... we're the Browns.
Agreed...so why the orange??
I don't mind brown jerseys...pants look like crap
-
I like any Orange/Brown combination.
Don't like Orange on Orange, I think someone already said too "Clemson-like".
White shirts go best with either white or orange pants, not Brown.
Not that anybody cares but that's my opinion.
I'm not buying any psychological or physical advantages to the color of the jersey.
