February 12, 201510 yr If we had done this last year, we would have had Bridgewater or Carr. Both are better than Manziel. Just as the Browns' $100,000 analytics study said! I can't tell you how turned-off I am at the Browns right now. I couldn't care less who they draft because the record has shown they will have picked the wrong guy no matter how great it looks on draft day and in preseason. I really thought this team was starting to do the right things. I feel lied-to and cheated. I must be the most desperate person in the world to keep running back to these abusers.

February 12, 201510 yr I'm fine rooting for a bunch of losers, but this team seems downright sleazy. You hear this stuff that they are doing with their future QB coach? The organization, as a whole is supremely unlikable. How can you believe anything the front office has to say?
February 12, 201510 yr And either Jimmy Haslam has no idea what his underlings (at Pilot/Flying J or at the Browns) are doing, he doesn't care, or he does know and he's OK with it.

February 16, 201510 yr Video: Kyle Shanahan's 32-Point Presentation for Getting the Hell Out of Cleveland Posted By Vince Grzegorek on Mon, Feb 16, 2015 at 3:07 PM From Mike Polk's segment on the Rizzo show on Fox. http://www.clevescene.com/scene-and-heard/archives/2015/02/16/video-kyle-shanahans-32-point-presentation-for-getting-the-hell-out-of-the-browns "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck
February 16, 201510 yr I'll take your word for it. I didn't watch it. "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck
February 16, 201510 yr yeah, that was not very funny. I laughed at the factory of sadness, but it's been all downhill from there.
February 17, 201510 yr I've never found any of Polk's stuff funny. He's the opposite of Drew Carey, much more like the Hollywood writers from NE Ohio that started the Cleveland jokes.
February 18, 201510 yr It is being reported that per a letter sent to season ticket holders the Browns will unveil a new logo next Tues 2/24.
February 18, 201510 yr Yep, that'll change the losing ways.... Breaking CLE News @breakingclenews 1m1 minute ago BEREA, Ohio -- The Browns are expected to unveil a new logo… http://dlvr.it/8cM2CZ "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck
February 18, 201510 yr It is being reported that per a letter sent to season ticket holders the Browns will unveil a new logo next Tues 2/24. Everyone should be fearful.
February 18, 201510 yr It is being reported that per a letter sent to season ticket holders the Browns will unveil a new logo next Tues 2/24. I'm not a big fan of new logos, but if it looks anything like my fantasy team logo I'm going to be stunned.
February 18, 201510 yr I think to myself how could it possibly be worse than the helmet sitting next to any other team's logo, but then I think about the Pistons' alternate logo.
February 18, 201510 yr Rumors I heard is the logo is going to be a helmet, again...... just a different helmet. This one will have a brown facemask. Something like this (perhaps with some tweaks in the shade of orange) I suppose.....

February 18, 201510 yr ^^^ I can't imagine a more anti-climactic 'reveal', if that's what they're going with.
February 18, 201510 yr ^Not in the plans. Part of the deal to buy the franchise Randy Lerner insisted upon was that there would be no logo on the helmet. Apparently, that was a dying wish of Al Lerner.
February 18, 201510 yr That image Phil Taylor shared is from a set of concept helmets from Deeyung Entertainment. http://imgur.com/a/QaZHX Some cool designs for sure.
February 18, 201510 yr ^Not in the plans. Part of the deal to buy the franchise Randy Lerner insisted upon was that there would be no logo on the helmet. Apparently, that was a dying wish of Al Lerner. Yeah I remember him. He's the guy that flew Art Model to B'more on that fateful day. And I love that helmet. But let's not choose anything that the players might actually be proud of...
February 18, 201510 yr I'll take the pragmatic approach. I want a bright helmet that's as easy to see by the quarterback as possible. That brown one posted by Phil is cool, but no dark colors. Not that it's helped them in the past so who knows.
February 19, 201510 yr Rumors I heard is the logo is going to be a helmet, again...... just a different helmet. This one will have a brown facemask. Something like this (perhaps with some tweaks in the shade of orange) I suppose..... HIGHLY unlikely especially since the face mask is getting changed in that image and the helmet isn't getting dramatically changed from the traditional look, that would be a complete change.
February 19, 201510 yr ^What's highly unlikely? We didn't have brown facemasks before. The only thing guaranteed not to change with the helmet is that there won't be a logo put on it. I do expect the color scheme to be tweaked, although not dramatically. Most likely to me is more of a burnt orange. Next most likely IMO is incorporating some grey into the stripe.
February 20, 201510 yr HERE IT IS! A sneak-peak at the new Browns logo! It's everything you expected!! You don't have to wait for it... Anymore! "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck
February 22, 201510 yr In all seriousness, Shawn may have a lead. I used to write for his publication, and he does have some sources....

February 22, 201510 yr I would be bummed if the new logo was just an updated helmet. I think we would be well served to have something different. This is still my all time favorite:

Rumors: Browns Helmet Design Leak http://www.dawgpoundnation.com/2015/02/21/rumors-browns-helmet-design-leak/ Those designs have been around for awhile. I posted a version of it back in Sept. http://www.urbanohio.com/forum2/index.php/topic,6443.msg726114.html#msg726114 I like the latest version of it though. Would be happy with the new orange and the brown facemask. Looking forward to the new uni's. As for the logo, instead of the silhouette of the helmut I would like to see a frontal version with helmut looking down. Whatever it turns out to be, as I have said before it won't go far enough for me.
February 23, 201510 yr Will the Browns draft their third QB in four years? Dawg Pound Nation thinks so and has some compelling info that it will be Brett Hundley: http://www.dawgpoundnation.com/2015/02/23/dont-be-surprised-if-the-browns-draft-qb-brett-hundley/ "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck
February 23, 201510 yr Kevin Kleps of Crains has a rumor (albeit through reddit) about the new logo "Man in a hat" logo? What is it, an outline of Jason Mraz?
February 23, 201510 yr Someone on Reddit came up with a Paul Brown logo concept. Did a real nice job. http://i.imgur.com/5qkBx4D.png
February 24, 201510 yr What did I tell ya? Different shade of orange and a new brown facemask. Reddit, shmeditt
February 24, 201510 yr Here it is! More vibrant orange and brown facemask. Also meaner looking dawg on the Dawg Pound logo.... "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck
February 24, 201510 yr It looks like Cincinnati Bengal orange. I feel like I need to take a shower....
February 24, 201510 yr That looks like an upset little puppy that it got dumped with even more obnoxious colored red-orange paint.
February 24, 201510 yr Looks like Rubble on Paw Patrol, but much better than the alternatives, especially that garish helmet that is making the rounds.
February 24, 201510 yr The change in the uniforms will be more dramatic, which I know is not saying much.....
February 24, 201510 yr I can't believe they bothered with any press release. This by no means should have ever been hyped for a color variation in orange. Btw it is the same pantone color as The Cincinnati Bengals! So original to the vibrancy of Cleveland. The owners should show the citizens the research that went into this design. The Dawg Pound needs to be retired. The latest rendering of a dog looks juvenile.
February 24, 201510 yr I am underwhelmed. Couldn't we at least gotten a Ray Lewis style facemask with a visor? Sheesh. A lot of hubbub over nothing.

According to this, the old Browns orange was exactly the same as the Bengals orange: https://moncpc.files.wordpress.com/2010/02/nationalfootballleague_frc_2000_sol_srgb.pdf
