we have The Cleveland Browns have unveiled their new alternate helmets! The new “white out series” is tapping deeper into the history of the franchise and bringing a true throwback experience. For three games this upcoming season the Cleveland Browns will be rocking this new look. The team will also be keeping the throwback jerseys they wore in 2021. This will give them a look that has not been seen since the franchise was born in 1946.
New Look Same Dawgs
Cleveland will debut the helmet on the road in Week 2 against the Pittsburgh Steelers for Monday Night Football. They will then dawn them at home at Cleveland Browns Stadium in Week 6 against the 49ers. Finally, they will appear once more in Week 17 against the Jets for Thursday Night Football.
“Cleveland is super fired up and really excited to have this opportunity to wear an alternate helmet,” Executive Vice President and Partner JW Johnson said. “We decided to go with the white helmet for a couple of reasons — it harkens back to our past, and a lot of our greatest players wore white helmets. Also, we have heard from our fans that it was the direction they wanted. We always want to continue having great fan interaction and deliver for them as much as we possibly can.” according to ClevelandBrowns.com.
The Cleveland Browns wore a white helmet for their first six years in existence before they shifted to the orange in 1952. Cleveland won four All-American Football Conference championships with the white helmets. They carried them over to their first year in the NFL, where they won the league championship. That roster included Otto Graham, Marion Motley, Bill Willis, Lou Groza, Mac Speedie, and Dante Lavelli. Those are all franchise legends for the Cleveland Browns.
Time For CLE To Shine!
You can get the full backstory as linked here thanks to the Cleveland Browns Twitter. It was just last season that the NFL started to allow teams to wear an alternative helmet that was a different color than the team’s main one. For Cleveland, a white helmet has been desired for a long time now.
It is another example of how much the Browns care about their fans. People can not wait to see these helmets in action! The NFL season is almost here and the Cleveland Browns are ready to make some noise! With a new look and an updated roster can Cleveland finally get to where they want to go? Only time will tell as we patiently wait.
