    Rumored to be bringing back the white facemask and the gloss finish.    

    I approve of both (though if I was a player I'd probably prefer the brown facemask).  Now if they can just tone down that day-glo orange a bit and we'll be back to normal again....ie  before the Haslems came along and started meddling with the damned thing.

      I can't stand white facemasks, always looks like cheap plastic to me. 

      Brown and orange is not a color scheme you can get "cute" with. The simpler the better.

      White facemasks are an attempt to get cute. They went to the white facemasks in the 70s under Modell, so by proxy they suck monkey balls. Going back to the gloss look is fine IMO. Honestly, I never really noticed that they were matte.

        I didn't mind it.  Here's what it looked like.

            The best Browns teams in my lifetime all had white facemasks. If we can rekindle some of that magical run of the mid to late 80s, I'd be a-okay.

                  The gray facemasks are classic. I was happy when they brought them back in the mid to late 2000s. It's unfortunate those teams were so bad.

                    Literally all the Browns need to do is look at that photo and do everything they did, and add the brown jersey from that era.

                    I'll bend and allow the orange pants a handful times every season too.
