To honor Browns legends this season, the team will wear their throwback uniforms against the New York Giants this Monday. I'm not really a superstitious person, but the last time we decided to go with a change in uniform against a team came in the preseason, when the team wore brown pants against -- the New York Giants -- on Monday Night Football.
By the way, that was the game where Derek Anderson was knocked around silly with a concussion, and it was also the game where the Browns (mostly the starters) faced an embarrassing 30-3 halftime deficit.
On an optimistic note though, when the Browns wore their throwback uniforms at home last season, it was against the Houston Texans. In that game, the Browns played very well, coming away with a 27-17 victory over a then-competitive Texans team.
A picture of Brandon McDonald wearing the throwback uniform last season can be seen above and to the right.

Isn’t the throwback jersey just a different helmet?

Yeah, the helmets are the most noticeable change.

Love the Throwback Helmet
Istn’t the pant and jersey striping also very slightly altered?

Giants fan here
I’m a huge fan of when teams where throwback jerseys (except for those HIDEOUS unis the Eagles wore last year), but I’m a little confused, I always thought the Browns were one of those teams that never really changed their unis, kinda negating the need for a throwback. Anyway, I’m looking at the picture, but what exactly is that on the helmet, is it a number or a logo of some sort?

where = wear
I swear New Yorkers can spell…today’s just my day off and my mind is elsewhere!

The uniforms are mostly the same, plus or minus some striping. The helmets have each players uni number on them, kinda like Alabama in the NCAA.

nice
that’s pretty bad-ass. I’ve always loved ’Bama’s unis.

The brown pants were probably the coolest football uniforms I’ve ever seen. It’s a tragedy that they’re linked to that debacle of a game.
