Fuck /cle/ Mazarin
As a child, you’re trying to figure out what the hell a “2” is or why food doesn’t go into your brain if you swallow standing on your head. I was able to get my head around those items fairly well. My problem was colors.

I learned a lot thru sports as a child. Discipline, sharing, numbers, stuff like that. So naturally, I gleaned my color knowledge from sports as well. I was fine with the Cincinnati Reds because… well… they were red. Same with the St Louis Blues. This all made sense to me. But the Browns? Oooooh, no.

<---------------------------This is the Browns’ logo

WTF!? That’s not brown, that’s ORANGE! Who the hell came up with this idea!? All real sports franchises have actual logos. The Bears have a BEAR. The L.A. Kings have a Crown. The Alabama Crimson Tide, naturally, have an Elephant. But to have your logo be a color, and not even the correct color? Even the Blues had a note for a logo.

The Browns toyed with my mind thru many years of my scholastic studies. And, of course, the teachers didn’t know anything about Bernie Kosar or “The Fumble.” They would even speak to my parents about it. “Oh, he’ll be ok.” They said.

I must note that my cranial color blindness is not solely the fault of the Cleveland Oranges, but anyone who’s lived in the Midwest has seen the Yellow Trucking Company semis going up and down the interstates.

So let me get this straight: The Browns are orange. Yellow Trucking is orange. Ok, that made sense.

As you can see, it still bothers me to this day. Which is why I can’t get around why I love the Bears’ orange alternate jerseys.

Since debuting in 1946, the Browns' uniforms have essentially remained the same. However, the team originally wore white helmets before switching to orange (with a white center stripe.) on a full-time basis in 1952. (In the 1950 & '51 seasons, the Browns wore the white helmets in day games and plain orange helmets in night games because of an NFL rule prohibiting the use of white or light-colored helmets for night games because of the lighting and the use of a white football for night games.

PLUS

The Browns held practice at Bowling Green's facilities when the team first started. Paul Brown liked Bowling Green's colors as they were the same as the high school he began his coaching career at.

This is part of the reason why I'm a Browns fan. They don't have a faggy logo on their helmet. Their helmet IS their logo. That's fucking awesome.

The Cleveland Browns were founded in 1946 as a charter member of the All-America Football Conference, under businessman Arthur B "Mickey" McBride.[1] Not long after gaining the franchise, McBride named Ohio State Buckeyes coach Paul Brown as vice president, general manager and head coach. A fan contest was conducted to determine the name of the team, with the most popular choice being "Panthers." However, Brown objected to the name after finding out it had been used by a semipro team in the city—one that had a reputation as a chronic loser. This prompted a second contest to choose a name befitting a champion.[2] This contest yielded the nickname "Brown Bombers"—after reigning heavyweight champion Joe Louis—and was shortened to "Browns" for the convenience of headline writers. However, to this day, the myth that the team was named after Paul Brown persists.[3]

Pic related, Browns should go back to wearing jersey numbers on their helmets like they did in the late 50's

Anyway, the problem is, they can't put a logo on the side of their helmets, because what the fuck is a Brown? What are they going to put a picture of a turd on their helmets?
