I was with you until you said glitter. Figure out a manlier way to put it, and I may get back on board.

I am ok with jersey changes, as long as they are not drastic. The examples OQB provided were not drastic. Also bring back the Brownie (STFU COA), and wear orange uniforms more often. Thanks.

Personally, I'm in favor of some minor uniform changes. I do like the helmet as is, although if the NFL ever allowed two-helmets (Seattle tried), I'd love to see us with a white shell with stripes matching the pant stripe).

For the jersey, I'd like to see us get rid of the stripes (on players, they're not sleeves, they're shoulder covers at most) and go toward the USC-style arcs. Bowling Green has them as well here and are exactly the type of update I'd like: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2196/1907159162_d873b2298a.jpg?ssitoken_1350418726071_

I'd like to see the alternate Orange jersey brought back, as well as the orange pants. I'd also like to see the logo below used more instead of the helmet logo. Start rotating what uniform they wear...I'm just sick and tired of the all white every single game. I was ok with it last year for the reasons they did it, but come on....move on.





Also another change I would like to see is the installation of field turf....especialy since we play games outside in December/January in Ohio.

definitely introduce more orange into the unis - pants and jerseys. also, i dont understand what the big deal would be to put either the "b" logo or the "dawg" logo on the helmets

these wouldnt be a bad start

No you didn't and today isn't the first time there has been talk of adding a roof/dome to the Browns stadium. It pretty much would just be something so they could have more events at the stadium. I think it would be a great idea but I understand also why people are against it.

Love the bottom right and left corner jerseys. That would be GOAT.

I guess I am in the minority, but I am not a fan at all of the "B" football logo.

After seeing all these adds to vote for Josh Gordan for rookie of the week...I started to think about stats for the rookie WR's taken in the first 3 rounds of the draft:

Justin Blackmon: 13 Rec/119 yds
Michael Floyd: 7 rec/84 yds/1 td
Kendall Wright: 33 rec/285 yds/2 td
AJ Jenkins: 0

Second round:
Brian Quick: 2 rec/20 yds
Stephen Hill: 8 rec/112 yds/3 td
Alshon Jeffery: 14 rec/184 yds/2 td
Ryan Broyles: 0
Rueben Randle: 7 rec/86 yds

Third round:
Devier Posey: 0
TJ Graham: 11 rec/99 yds/ 1 td
Mohamed Sanu: 0
Ty Hilton: 11 rec/196 yds/ 1 td


Browns Rookie Receivers:
Josh Gordan: 12 rec/274 yds/3 td
Travis Benjamin: 5 rec/82 yds/1 td

^interesting stats. It's amazing how long it takes WRs in the NFL to adjust and really produce at a high level.

Also, if you add a true #1 (AJ Green, Julio Jones, etc.) WR to this team, their WRs will be absolutely filthy in a year or two.

To be fair he does have the worst qb in the nfl throwing to him.

I'd saw wr is the hardest position to adjust from the college game to the nfl with qb right behind it. A lot if different coverages, bump and run etc. but I really really like Gordon. He has that special ability to get behind the defenders

He's looked good. He has to keep it up while NFL defenses start to adjust to him, however. It's one thing to sneak up on teams. It's another thing to keep putting up these games when they start to focus on shutting you down.

You're not going to keep sneaking behind defenses in the NFL

A little late to the uni talk but I would honestly like brown jersey and pants with the helmet with the numbers on them. I am not sure why the they don't wear Brown at home anymore. Never understood that.

They wear white at home when it is hot because they think the dark colors absorb too much heat. Let the visiting team sweat!

I am pretty sure I read that they would wear white at the first 4 home games, and Brown for the rest of the home games.
