Browns uniforms throughout the years
A look at Browns uniforms, from the franchise's inception to current-day.
1946 – In the team's inaugural season the Browns wore plain white helmets and sported white and brown jerseys with classy shadowboxed numbers. These jerseys were worn for one season only.
1947 – The Browns introduce what is now viewed as the "classic" Browns uniform.
1950 – The Browns introduced solid orange helmets for the first time as part of their uniform.
1953 – Orange uniforms are introduced for the first time. They would appear again in exhibition games in 1954 and 1955 before being shelved.
1957 – For three seasons, the Browns add brown jersey numbers to all of their helmets.
1960 – For one season only, the Browns add two brown stripes that flank the existing white center striped helmets along with the brown jersey numbers on the side.
1969 – A commemorative patch is added to the uniform to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the NFL. This is the first time that a patch of any kind is worn on the uniform.
1970 – Names are introduced to the back of all jerseys.
1975 – Orange pants are introduced for the first time. All facemasks on helmets are changed to white in color.
1984 – Jerseys are radically redesigned as solid orange pants are replaced by white pants that for the first time feature an orange center stripe outlined with brown stripes with solid orange or brown socks. Brown jerseys with orange numbers are worn for the preseason before being scrapped because the numbers proved to be too difficult for spotters to recognize during the game.
1985 – The team returns to the "classic" Browns look.
2002 – Orange jerseys make a return to the field for the Browns.
2003 – Orange center stripe returns to the pants for first time since 1984.
2008 – Solid brown pants are introduced for the first time.
2013 – The Browns sport a "brown out" version of their jersey on Thursday Night football, wearing their brown jersey with solid brown pants and socks.
