Browns to Unveil New Alternate Jerseys Tonight

The Browns Official site announced yesterday (http://www.clevelandbrowns.com/article.php?id=8699) that the Browns will be wearing plain brown pants with the brown socks for tonight preseason game. The Browns official site will have a feedback poll asking the fans what they thought of the new jerseys.

This annoucement shocked me, because during the Browns offseason, during one of my many "Browns daydreaming spells", I thought about how brown jersey pants would look. Personally, I think it might look kinda cool, but I think it might look a little weird with brown socks as well. However, it'd probably look even weirderr with striped socks! I think a new alternate uniform will look cool, as long as they only wear it once or twice a year, including the preseason.

Visit the link in the first paragraph for more information.

Here is the link to the story for everyone. Story doesn’t have any pictures however.

I could have sworn I recalled brown pants in the 80s, but I must be remembering the brown jerseys with the white pants. I always liked the Sipe era brown jerseys and orange pants look too.

Darn…I wish I had the ability to merge posts.

You probably missed it kk2007, but a few hours ago, Funadmentals posted a fanshot about this already. Since two people have given their opinion in this thread though, I’ll leave it open for the time being…

Sorry about that. I checked the fanposts early this morning, but didn’t see it their so that’s why I posted this. Dang it…here I thought I was the first one reporting it on DBN!

Whose the best all-time special teamer in NFL history? It's JOSH CRIBBS!

hehe…and I could’ve saved all the trouble by posting something when I saw it last night. Technically I did put a blurb in last night when I pre-wrote the gamethread, but that didn’t autopost until noon.

FYI, on LGT Jay/Ryan will close comments on the 2nd identical post with a link to the original post. Then the duplicate is usually removed a day later.

One point of feedback however. On the main page I can see all of the FanPosts and the FanShots. However, if I am looking at a FanPost, I cannot see the list of FanShots. I have to “back” to the Main Page. Even when I go into a FanShot, all I can see is the other FanPosts, not the FanShots.

This could indirectly lead to multiple postings as well.

Yeah, FanShots are hard to find because you always have to go back to the main page.

Also, on LGT the FanShots are on the left of the front page near the top, so they’re easier to find. Here you have to scroll down quite far to see them, and I’ll bet a lot of new users don’t. I don’t know if you can move things around on the site, but I would suggest moving the FanShots to the left of the page.

What Are They Doing?!

This franchise is supposed to be about tradition, grit, and winning.

It’s not supposed to be about superficiality like pants colors.

Bring back white pants and brown jerseys or white pants and white jerseys. None of these color combinations, for crying out loud.

And while they’re at it, bring back normal sleeves and dare those SOB’s to tackle us anyway. The new sleeves are cretinous.

What?? Why are they not allowed to try new pant colors? Can you tell me what that has to do with winning.

Also, please don’t mention “grit” on this site. That word brings back too many bad memories of Trot Nixon and Casey Blake’s beard.

I actually think the jerseys will look good.

i second that thought

by kjc on Aug 18, 2008 4:34 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

They did look good.

Down 30-3 at one point. Starting QB injured. Dropped hand-off. All around crap game.

Burn every last pair of those pants.

Our look is clean and classic

I really don’t see the need to tamper with it.

Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win.

I didn’t like the brown pants at all. Maybe if they had orange and white stripes down the sides?

But overall I agree that there’s not much need to change anything about the Browns unis.

I thought the pants looked really, really cool. I think stripes would be too “busy”, and that the solid brown pants look as “classic” as you can get.

Looks like half the fans think they’re good, and half don’t. That’s not nearly the majority needed to get an approval, right?
