"I never understood why the Cleveland Browns have an orange helmet"   I think it's because My Browns just didn't want a logo on their helmet.

Ya dude i know im a Browns fan and thats the most annoying thing just seeing those bright orange helmets. I mean they need to bring back that old logo with the little guy on it and maybe put that on their helmets.

Sorry, but I love the orange helmets with the brown jerseys (at least the jerseys are the title color).  And there is a stripe on the helmet.

What would you put on the helmet?  A "B"?  I know the name was named after a guy, so that doesn't leave a whole lot to the imagination.

Still love em though, and glad they haven't given in to the new uniform frenzy.

Wouldn't a picture of a vicious dog cut it? I thought that kinda was the Browns thing. Or would PETA crap their pants over that one?

I am a giant Arena Football fan.  I love the Soul.  When the Soul played the Desparados, which I called the battle of the undefeateds, there was some, but not much, media attention.

7-0    Dallas Desparados @  8-0 Philadelphia Soul

 

Dallas Desparados (7-1)          28

Philadelphia Soul (9-0)              57
