OT: The unfortunate new Cleveland Browns uniformz
Cleveland's President was quoted as saying "we want to be the Oregon of the NFL." A picture perfect example of why he is not qualified to be the Browns President. Also, they are Proud" that they are the only NFL team with their city printed on the uniform front. Huh? You know who writes their city or college name prominently on the front of their uniform? Teams with no history, no equity, and no brand. This tells you all you need to know about the disfunction in Cleveland IMO. Sorry, don't know how to embed pictures.

They did that as a sign of respect to the city and fans. Doubt your a Browns fan, but I think most Browns fans want an updated jersey. Much like here the old get off my lawn crowd fears change.
The organization is smart enough to see that today's youth wants more in a jersey then plain tradition. The old guard is saying and Cleveland has to appeal to a younger crowd to infuse the fan base with youth. This is what the change is for.

Even tho my beloved Redskins have sucked for the past 20 years, I'm still thankful I'm not a Bengals, browns, lions (sorry folks), chargers or cardinals fan.
Looks like Oklahoma St. or Oregon St. with Brown instead of black.
They're not bad...but they're not the Cleveland Browns.
If this was Bowling Green, no one would be saying anything. In fact, I think many folks would really like them. But it's not BGSU.
At least they didn't screw with the helmet.
Honestly, what do you have to lose? The team sucks, and has sucked ever since it came back into the league. People talk about messing with tradition and all that stuff. Tradition of what? Losing? Your team hasn't amounted to anything since Jim Brown was putting on pads nearly 50 years ago. Wouldn't you want to try and shed that image as much as possible?
Still doesn't change the fact that the Browns are a completely dysfunctional organization, but it might not hurt to change things up a bit when its clear that absolutely nothing is working.
I'm not saying the Browns aren't an embarrasment right now, and I'm not saying they haven't been for awhile.
But saying they haven't amounted to anything since Jim Brown is just complete childish bullshit.
Never thought I'd say this, but I'm glad to be a Detroit Lions fan.
I think they're OK, except for the BROWNS on the pants leg. Granted that's a pretty visible component but it's overall a perfectly acceptable re-vamp of the uniforms.
Honestly though - when it comes down to brass tacks, you know what's the best way to make a good-looking uniform? WIN GAMES WHILE WEARING IT
It's like they went into the design studio with the idea to keep the same style to avoid going all '95 Pistons, but with the directive to make it as ugly as possible. (Not Tampa Bay alarm clock ugly, but let's see how close we can get!)

Its a wonder that the Browns are not in Jailhouse Stripes or Orange Jumpsuits in honor of their Crooked Dishonest Owner Jimmy Haslam.
They're kind of cool, the players love them, and who gives a shit anyway? We still have LeBron.

I like them, and they still look a helluva lot better than our away jerseys.

I just can't believe anyone gives a shit about this. Sorry.
