I like that too. Like the Packers- (who actually did mess with their striping in the 80s, but at the beginning of the Favre Era, came to their senses.

Why would you change something successful? And if people recognized your trademark, why would you screw with it?

The Broncos should be orange and sky-blue, not blackblue. The chargers should be powder blue with yellow britches. And the Pats. should be RED white and blue, not blackblue. Im really tired of blackblue.

I kinda wish the Cleveland Browns would change their uniform, and their name.

Unquestionably the ugliest uniforms and the most boring name in the NFL.

That's why they changed to white numbers shortly after that for a while.

Ugh!!! Lee!!!

Disco was a tradition in the 70's too. Sometimes its best to move on.

I agree with Danno about the name - at the very least they should be the Baltimore Browns.

I think names should be like race horses. Once you have used it you should not use it again.

If we could match the two GOLDs. The pants looked mustard-yellow.

Yuck.

Still not a fan.

I'm with you on this one Skymike...The Browns uni's are among my favorite. The tradition adds to the appeal!!

heres something about uniforms. its not only what your colors are, but also, how do you look up against your opponents? remember the old Browns / Oilers games? man, THAT was some color on your color tv!

and then it snowed, and you had a white field!

they look really cool up against the steelers too.

I loved the old Pats uniforms...

Red, White and Blue with the Patriot ready to tee-off!

But you think with their current run of success their gonna mess with the New Millenia Postal Look?!?
