Browns...Clowns...Victory!

Do Cleveland Browns' throw-back uniforms exist?

This grainy photo is the best evidence we could find. I found this in the book depository next to Oswald's spent rounds.

Throw-back uniforms are an outstanding marketing idea and sometimes those throw-backs are actually better then the current iteration of your favorite teams' 'costumes'. The San Diego Charger powder blues are outstanding for example.

The Cleveland Browns don't seem to understand the concept of the throw-back though, as evidenced by their repeatedly rolling out this same edition. We saw it again tonight on MNF.

The only way you can tell that these are in fact old-school uni's is because there's a grade-school-print number scrawled on the helmet. That's it, everything else is the same.

First off, NO ONE BUYS HELMETS! It's all about the jerseys!

So essentially, the throw-back Cleveland Browns jersey is EXACTLY the same as the current Cleveland Browns jersey. No difference!

While there is something noble about tradition, it should also be pointed out that...hey...why even attempt to roll out a throw-back if you're not going to get it right?

To their credit, the Clowns still managed to win the game tonight against the Giants. Nice work.

See you next weekend for 2-4.
