So Why Did We Fight For the Colors?


So I ended My Monday post with this picture, basically asking what is wrong with it...Look close, it's something that has gone on all year long...The Browns were at home, and once again, as they have for every home game this year, the Browns were wearing all white uniforms...

Maybe this seems like a trivial thing, but I remember the day the news broke, that the Browns were being moved to Baltimore...The city was in full-blown, panic/anger mode...When the realization set in that there was no getting OUR Browns back, the city and fans jumped into action...

All the sudden the politicians were all in on building a new stadium...Funny how that worked...When Modell asked, they said stick it...When Modell asked for a renovation of the old stadium, they said stick it...He didn't hold them hostage the way the Jacobs did...Yes, the Jacobs made it clear they would move the Indians if they didn't get a new stadium...Suddenly our smokes and beers were getting an extra tax so the Indians could get a new stadium...It didn't matter that they had sucked for my entire life at that point...Yet the Browns, who everyone loved, who always sold out, who were competitive most the time got screwed by the politicians...So Modell said stick it!

Then the fans and city officials fought the NFL and Modell for the rights to the Browns History, Name, and Colors...So why the fuck aren't they wearing the colors...They are the Cleveland Browns, and with the exception of the numbers and a few stripes, we haven't seen and brown.

The Cleveland Browns...Named for Paul Brown...Lead by the beats that was Jim Brown...


Where are the BROWN jerseys!?!

Yes this team has plenty of real problems, but this is a simple one that can be fixed real easy...Strap on the BROWN jerseys at home...Be proud of that history and those colors that people fought for...Hell let's go Brian Sipe style...Brown jersey and orange pants...


Hell yeah...Embrace those awful colors and wear that shit with pride...Brown and Orange!


Later, The Beeze.
