	Have to ask, what was the overall reaction when Jimmy rolled out the <strong>"<em><span style="color:#e67e22">Oranger </span></em>Orange"</strong> uniforms?
</p>

<p>
	<img data-fileid="25100" src="https://uploads.brownsboard.com/ips/monthly_2021_05/image.jpeg.7836f480678153676ca1fae227780e9d.jpeg" alt="image.jpeg.7836f480678153676ca1fae227780e9d.jpeg" /></p>

<p>
	Was it a total backlash? hated by 50% of fans? maybe only 20% of supporters? 
</p>

<p>
	Look, I already know.. no one gives a two <strong>shits </strong>about soccer. But the Haslams just thrust a whole new rebrand on fans in Columbus and the reaction is universally <strong>negative</strong>. Have a look at the <em>old </em>and the left and <em>new </em>on the right...
</p>

<p>
	The Haslams run absolutely great, FANTASTIC teams (Browns and Crew SC) but do they have ZERO sense of what fans want in the look of their teams? Really want to know your thoughts.

	Old Crew logo at least is reminiscent of Borussia Dortmund.  New one looks like an unpaid intern copied the design off a tap at an Akron microbrewery. That's just.. No.
</p>

<p>
	Browns uniforms have a generally classic look.. the Color Rush is something Nike does with college as well so Haslam's not at fault for that, although he continues to try to find one new way to fail each season.. perhaps this year he'll bring back some cringe-worthy cheerleaders?  I think the black OhioState color rush actually looks pretty cool.  Luckily the last "big" uniform redo [2015] coincided with some really terrible teams, so the uniform was the last thing anyone could muster a care about.

	Many people, like me, tend to like the old traditional uniforms like the nice clean traditional home whites......
