Some military secrets. I remember football uniforms.<BR/><BR/>Ask me any Browns game between 1986and today, and I can give you the combo.<BR/><BR/>For instance, in '87, the Browns wore brown tops once, in a game against the Patriots. Of course, it was during the strike, with picket players and a crowd of about 14,000 at Foxborogh.<BR/><BR/>NBA and MLB rules are getting lax. The Indians occasionally sport blue at home, and the Cavs have worn wine, navy and orange at the Q.Zachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00344385023364633170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6562319.post-52736608926476018832008-08-18T10:00:00.000-08:002008-08-18T10:00:00.000-08:00How did you find the number of times the Browns wo...How did you find the number of times the Browns wore the dark tops in '89 and '90? Is there a database where you can access what team wore what uni and when?<BR/><BR/>Technically, dark tops are supposed to be home tops and white are supposed to be road. But home/road unis aren't enforced in the NFL the way they are in MLB and the NBA. <BR/><BR/>I would guess the home team gets the right of first refusal, which would explain why the Browns wore all white for the entire '86 and '87 seasons. It would also explain why the Cowboys wear their white tops about 90 percent of the time, home or road.<BR/><BR/>The worst uniform experiment for the Browns had to be the orange tops from 2002-04. Curiously, the tops seem to have sold pretty well. You can't go to a Browns game or practice without seeing at least one orange Dennis Northcutt or Tim Couch jersey. <BR/><BR/>I have no problems with the orange pants, even though they're a product of disco-era fashion sensibilities, like the 1978-80 San Diego Padres unis or the Astros of the same era. The orange bottoms have probably run their course.<BR/><BR/>The Brown pants might catch on, but no matter how many wrinkles the Browns try to throw into their uniforms, they always seem to come back to white pants, white and brown jerseys and black shoes. You just can't mess with an original, I guess.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
