Browns uniform combination for Thursday Night Football is awesome
By Scott Rogust
The Cleveland Browns will be donning a great uniform combo for their home opener against the Cincinnati Bengals.
The 2020 NFL season didn’t get off to the greatest starts for the Cleveland Browns. With many predicting that head coach Kevin Stefanski can turn the around and bring them to the playoffs, they were smacked around by the powerhouse of the AFC North: the Baltimore Ravens. Now, the Browns open up First Energy Stadium on Thursday night against the Cincinnati Bengals. We’ve seen Cleveland wear their home uniforms last week in Baltimore, but for Week 2, they’re changing things up.
Executive vice president of the Browns, J.W. Johnson, revealed that the team will be wearing their home jerseys with orange pants for the “Battle of Ohio.” Take a look at the awesome uniform combination for yourself!
Can the uniforms bring Cleveland some much-need good luck?
Cleveland switched up their uniform designs back in 2015 and let’s face it, wasn’t the most popular decision. They were met with universal disgust. However, one uniform combination that Browns fans enjoyed for that five-season tenure were the brown jerseys with the orange pants. Now, with Cleveland reverting back to their original design, the uniform combo designated for Thursday night was met with praise and applause.
Last week, the Browns lost the game just as it started. On the opening drive of the contest, quarterback Baker Mayfield threw an interception to Baltimore cornerback Marlon Humphrey. After that, the Browns were pummeled by Baltimore’s highly explosive offense. It certainly didn’t help that Cleveland were without linebacker Mack Wilson and cornerbacks Greedy Williams and Kevin Johnson for that game.
As for Thursday night, Cleveland faces a Joe Burrow-led Bengals offense that put up 295 total yards in Week 1 against the Los Angeles Chargers. On paper, this is a game that the Browns should win. But that can only happen if Mayfield can get the offense rolling. If not, they can expect a disappointing end result.
