Here then is the history of the Browns’ Uniforms …
#1.
1946 The beginning of a beautiful relationship! Opening day, September 6,
1946: 60,135 fans pack into Cleveland Municipal Stadium to watch Paul Brown’s
team kick-off its inaugural season in the All-America Football Conference
(that’s almost twice as many that witnessed the previous season’s NFL
championship match!). The 1946 jersey, synonymous with the Otto Graham era,
showcases a ‘drop shadow’ effect on the chest numbers – the only jersey in
Browns’ history to do so.
#2.
1950 Marks the Browns’ first season in the NFL – after winning an
amazing four straight All-America Football Conference titles. Their overall
regular season record in the AAFC…47-4-3! Two interesting points about the
team’s helmet: the color switched from white to orange (and has remained that
color since). The helmet did not include a facemask and continued that way in
the early 1950s.
#3.
1957 A very special year in Browns’ history – as Jim Brown joins the
squad, out of Syracuse. Note that numbers have now been added to the jersey
sleeves – directly above the striping. If you look closely, you’ll also notice
a rare oddity: there are numbers on the helmet, directly above the ear – in a
hand-drawn appearance. Teams often place numbers on the back, but this is one
of the only times you’ll ever see numbers, especially this large, on the side
of the helmet!
#4.
1964 Lucky number 27 for Cleveland! On December 27 – the Browns whip the
Baltimore Colts 27-0 in the championship game of the NFL. Frank Ryan throws
three touchdown passes – all to Gary Collins to help capture the title.
Pictured are Cleveland’s home and away jerseys to commemorate this banner year.
Note the position of the sleeve numbers, which have been moved away from the
striping of previous years’ jerseys.
#5.
1969 Three interesting points to note about the ’69 jersey: the striping
pattern on the sleeves has been altered from past years. The numbers have been
shifted back down closer to the striping, and finally, the NFL shield/crest
commemorating the 50th anniversary has been added to the left
shoulder.
#6.
1972 The Browns go an impressive 10-4 during the regular season, only to
lose in the divisional playoff game to the eventual Super Bowl champions – the
Miami Dolphins. Something for the trivia buffs – the Browns are the only NFL
team to have never included a logo on their helmet!
#7.
1977 Once again, the numbers have moved away from the sleeve striping.
Did you happen to notice the color change in the pants – from white to orange?
The Browns instituted this changeover in 1975 – and at least one of the two
uniforms’ pants (either home or away) was orange until 1984.
#8.
1980 This is the year of the ‘Kardiac Kids’. The Browns go 11-5 – finishing first in the AFC Central, often
winning in the dying minutes or seconds of a contest. In the AFC Divisional
Game played in Cleveland, the Raiders win a heartbreaker, 14-12, on a
game-saving interception by the Raiders’ (in the end zone, no less!) with 41
seconds to play.
#9.
1984 The Browns discard the orange pants – changing back to the familiar
‘whites’ for both home and away uniforms. They also add a narrow orange outline
around the brown uniform numbers.
#10.
1994 During this season, the NFL and its franchises were showcasing
‘throwback’ jerseys, or replicas of older uniforms – to help commemorate the
NFL’s 75th anniversary. The 75th anniversary was also
commemorated by the diamond patch on the upper left part of the torso. This
particular jersey is not a throwback jersey - that was a white jersey which
featured sleeve stripes similar to the 1964 jersey. If you look closely at this
jersey, you’ll note a smaller patch – the NFL shield on the jersey’s neckline.
Most NFL uniforms added the NFL logo patch to the neck and upper left thigh of
the pants beginning in 1991.
#11.
1999 & 2000 The Browns relocated to Baltimore in
1996 to become the Ravens, the unprecedented and remarkable response from
Browns fans prompted the NFL to promise the City of Cleveland a new team for
the 1999 season. The patch on the ’99 jersey (upper, left part of the torso)
signals the return of the Browns to Cleveland. Football was back in Cleveland!
On a closing note, look closely at the sleeve on the 2000 jersey – did you
notice the elasticized band? Many NFL teams have added this feature to certain
player’s jerseys not only to give the jersey a more aerodynamic look and feel,
but to prevent opponents from grabbing onto excess material, and using it to
their advantage!
