Cleveland Browns Twitter account offers insight into future uniform re-design
Hopefully you like the Cleveland Browns color combo of white pants and white jerseys, because you’ll be seeing a lot of it.
The Cleveland Browns revealed what uniforms they’ll be wearing when they host the Steelers Sunday, as the team will be going with its white on white look.
The team’s official Twitter account also revealed what uniforms’ it won’t be wearing…you know, the orange on orange look that made Alex Mack look like a bottle of Frank’s Hot Sauce at the uniform unveiling back in the spring of 2015?
Look, mistakes were made in the uniform design.
Browns’ owner Dee Haslam made it known another uniform change was a possibility last March.
It’s a little funny that there are NO plans to even wear the orange on orange combo at least one time, just because the franchise’s PR department was so into plugging the team plethora of color combinations.
In yet another indication that the team will undergo another major uniform design, the Browns Twitter account also revealed that fans we’ll see a ton of the white jerseys-pants nomination in 2017, as seen in the above tweet.
White on white is the safest combination, because if you’ll recall, coaches complained about not being able to see the orange numbers on the Browns jerseys from the press box.
By playing it safe, the Browns are giving off the appearance that they’re just trying to get the next uniform re-design.
In other interesting uniform news, Dick’s Sporting Goods put out a sponsored tweet highlighting the trends in NFL jersey sales.
Their data revealed that Joe Haden’s Brown jersey had overtaken A.J. Green’s Bengals jersey as the top selling shirt in the great state of Ohio.
Obviously, a lot of people will be disappointed, because Haden will be waring black on Sunday.

I know. Uniforms. A lot of you will say you don’t care, but believe me, a lot of you do.
If the Browns were winning, we wouldn’t give a rip if the team was wearing leather helmets and bath robes, but unfortunately, that just hasn’t been the case.
The pending re-design will be interesting because it will give the Browns another chance to add “gun metal gray” to it’s uniform.
At this point, this is something that has to be taken under serious consideration.
Nike was responsible for the uniform re-design, which is why it was interesting to see the final product swing and miss so badly.
Nike produces clothes the masses tend to love. Go ahead, walk down main street. You can’t go two seconds without seeing a swoosh.
But when it comes to the Browns, the company tells the 1979 Tampa Bay Bucs uniform to hold its beer.
The difficulty for the re-design has to be orange.

It’s a hard color to work with it, which is why some such as ESPN Cleveland’s Tony Grossi have said the Browns should wear white helmets, paying homage to the color of the head gear Cleveland wore when Paul Brown founded the franchise in 1946.
