On Tuesday, Browns president Alec Scheiner provided an update on the process, which will culminate on the sheet being pulled off the
new uniforms right before the 2015 draft.
“We’ll have cutting-edge uniforms that link back to our history,” Scheiner told Bull & Fox of 92.3 The Fan in Cleveland on Tuesday. “I’m really excited about our direction. We’ve been
working with the NFL and Nike for almost a year now. We have another year until we roll out our uniforms. I’d be very surprised if our fans don’t love our new-look uniforms.”
If the Browns plan to link back to their history, there’s not much of a uniform history to link back to. When the team was initially founded,
the numbers had a shadowing effect, which was trendy about 20 years ago — and which could mean it’s time for it to become trendy again. The uniform hasn’t changed that much since then, with periodic orange pants and brown pants and at one point an ill-advised orange jersey.
