Cleveland Browns losses need to stand for something: While We’re Waiting
November 18, 2016Ohio State’s Curtis Samuel should be in the Heisman Trophy hunt
November 18, 2016Daaaamn, Cleveland. Back at it again with the orange jerseys!
You read that right, Daniel. When the Cleveland Browns take the field at home on Sunday against rival the Pittsburgh Steelers, they’ll be wearing orange jerseys, white pants, and orange socks. As they have been all season, the team announced the news with a tweet and Madden ‘17 GIF on Thursday afternoon.

The Browns’ elusive orange jersey is basically the proverbial white whale for fans, as it appears rarely and randomly. In fact, the Browns have only worn it once this season, in Week 8 against the New York Jets.
The combination of orange, white and orange is giving me straight-up Tic Tac vibes. That makes sense if you think about it, because the Browns are basically the Tic Tacs of the NFL.
If the New England Patriots are the Altoids of the league (strong, powerful, commanding), the Browns are certainly the Tic Tacs. They’re small. They tend to underperform. They always underwhelm. And while watching a Browns game may seem like a great idea, the team—much like an orange Tic Tac—loses its luster about 30 seconds in. With that, I’m calling this look the “Tic-Tac-D’OH!”
Here’s hoping this uniform combination, which they haven’t yet worn this season, brings the Browns a little luck. Luck that lasts longer than 30 seconds, it is.
Here’s a reminder of what the Browns have worn—and how they’ve fared—through the first 10 weeks of the NFL season:

50 Shades of Grey > 27 Shades of Ugly.
Look good, play good. Look bad, play bad. This ain’t rocket surgery.
G_O denied again.
So, so close
Jessica, you are doing God’s work!
Also, I’m conflicted. The Browns are not palatable. And orange tic tacs are, after all, the best tic tacs.
It’s not cool at all what this organization is doing to him.
I think he needs some Playdough and coloring books to ease his trauma.
So close to all orange.
This one?

Or this one?

It’s worse than that. My best friend’s sister’s boyfriend’s brother’s girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who’s going with the girl who saw him pass out at 31 Flavors an hour ago.
Suggested modification:
Tic-Tac D’Oh – and 16
The Browns ruin even the minutiae of our lives
And yet so far . . .
I actually had that calendar in 2015! It was a Christmas gift from my wife.
If it goes a full 16 weeks, the gif will be played. Oh yes, it will be played.

Look at me, sport. It’s not your fault. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/473743d3f6474ebeb4e239b16b7507b131979ab444220efda9ded89ddd99fae7.gif

Until JLC confirms, all hearsay.
Now I’m conflicted. I want to see you happy, but I want to see Harbaugh upset. So, if not being all orange makes Harbaugh upset, it pushes me towards being happy but you want all orange so you might be upset. I’m so confused.
Looked this up just out of curiosity…lmao
