Browns Reveal New Uniforms

Gip, are these structures still standing? I believe I've seen them in Barberton recently.

Yes, these are ones still standing. The Piggery, the Colt Barn, Barn No. 1 (which became Yoder Bros. HQ). The Machinery, and The Creamery....which is the "house" that Dutch said was purchased by a friend of his fiance's. There may be a few others standing.
From what I understand, there were originally like 35 or more buildings....all built in the early 1900s, but by the late 60s, all but about a half dozen had been torn down. As I said, an absolute lack of foresight on the part of the city, not knowing that what they had was a unique entity in America. It could have been on the order of a Williamsburg had it been preserved, but no, the city had to have its strip shopping and substandard housing to support the factory workers of the town. Of course, now, most of those factories are gone or have gone from employing a couple of thousand to about 100 people.

Thank you. I saw them & recall thinking that there had to be something of a story behind them as they were SO different. The same could be said about "The Timken Stables" in Canton that Chris Spielman attempted to turn into a restaurant (a failed effort), which is now a Synagogue. I ate/drank there a few times. Here is a pic from those days...
That was such a neat place. Another was the old Quaker Oats Tower in Akron.

Going after someone who pays no attention to you is pathetic.
It's not a convincing way to prove to others that you're really not a pussy.
Comprehend that pussy.

The helmets are totally different with the number being brought back, as well as the size of the bolt. More subtle changes throughout the uni as well.

And most importantly, they got rid of that horrible number font.
I don't love all the Chargers uniform combos, but the blue and white and white and white ones are nice. Also like the dark blue Color Rush unis.
