The Cleveland Browns on Tuesday unveiled some new logos for the 2015 season. And by new logos, we mean they will now be using a slightly different shade of orange.
As LB predicted last week, the change is hardly significant. Without a side-by-side comparison, you probably wouldn’t even notice a difference. The new helmets are a slightly brighter shade of orange and have brown facemasks, whereas the old facemasks were gray. There’s also a new dog logo.
The team’s “new” jerseys will be unveiled on April 15.
Personally, I like the old dog a lot better than the new one. The Browns also noted in their announcement that 2015 marks the 30th anniversary of the Dawg Pound. Why they chose to commemorate the milestone with a more cartoonish mascot is a mystery to me.
With all the negative attention surrounding the Browns this offseason (the two biggest examples here and here), a logo change probably isn’t a bad idea. Unfortunately, we highly doubt a new shade of orange will result in a championship anytime soon.
