Browns tweak helmet color, logos




BEREA, Ohio -- With the goal to "honor tradition and provide modern edge," the Cleveland Browns revealed revamped logos Tuesday with a richer orange color and a brown facemask on the helmet.

The Browns say a brighter shade of orange in their helmets "matches the passion of our fans and city."



The famed "Dawg Pound" face has a new design of a smirking "Swagger" dog.

The word marks, moving on from the traditional block lettering, are "cleaner, simpler, elegant," team president Alec Scheiner said.

Tweak is about all they did, and the hype here in Cleveland has been through the roof leading up to this.

Someone actually got paid for that tweak?


The comment section is quite entertaining:

Boy this franchise knows how to implement changes. Wonder if Manziel did this from rehab during crayon time!

This is a joke. Can I get paid tens of thousands of dollars to color in the old logo with a new sharpie?

Always loved how the Brown's helmets are orange. Now it's even more orange.

So they went from "10-year old traffic cone" orange to "new traffic cone" orange.

In all fairness, the designer started with good intentions but then midway through he realized "it's the Browns" and gave up

Yes, logo and team colors are what were holding the Browns back from glory.

The Browns say they also plan to drastically update their playing field by cutting the grass 1/16th of an inch shorter

He says team wants to pay tribute to the past. Please no! Most of the past has been bad.

have to fuck up the mascot logo? Before, it looked cool and vicious, but now it just looks weird.

Also it looks like they're now using the same shade of orange as the Bengals, which isn't exactly a big change from what they had before. What was up with all the hubbub over a change so small? I expected them to do something like change the designs of their jerseys or actually put a logo on their helmets after all these years.
