leaked jersey | Bottlegate

This pic is making the rounds on Twitter (like most things) and from my trained expert eye seems to be legit. We already profiled the “leaked” orange alternate jerseys a few days ago and this one seems to have the same design as the those. The “Dawg Pound” on the inner neck, “Cleveland” on the front instead of “Browns,” and what seems to be the official NFL seal and Nike tag. It also follows the “2015 Cleveland Browns Style Guide.”

The thing that makes me think otherwise is that the “Cleveland” doesn’t look centered. That could just be the angle of the camera or a wrinkle in the jersey though.

Don’t really know the rules about posting anything “leaked” before other people do but fugg it. It’s not like we’re posting a celeb sex tape, it’s a small picture of 1/8 of a football team’s jersey.

Also like I said last time, I wouldn’t put it past Ray, Jimmy, and co. to pull a fast one on us and leak a fake jersey. If they somehow managed to fool all of us then my confidence in our front office would go up 150%.

“The greatest trick the Browns ever pulled was convincing the world these were the new uniforms.”

So, what do you think Browns fans? IF these are real, are you digging the new digs?

We may need to check back in with Serial… Browns Uniform Edition and see what the ruling is…

This pic has been floating around Twitter since early Friday night and I have no idea what to think. Apparently this is one of the jerseys that the Browns will be releasing on April 14th.

The thing that everyone is pointing out is the ‘Dawg Pound” shirt in the background with the new logo, saying that these would have to be real. The “Dawg Pound” on the neck is a nice touch too. They don’t look photoshopped. They’re too boring to be photoshopped, right?

Maybe these are just really low grade replica jerseys and the real authentic ones will look 100% better once paired with a helmet and pants? If these are real then thank God they didn’t go the Tampa Bay or Jacksonville route and look like Arena Football jerseys.

I like the ‘Cleveland” on the front, I don’t think any other team has their city and not the team name on the jersey. Fact is, no one knows except a handful of people and one of those people that has already seen the jerseys is Donte Whitner.

Annnnd Whitner says no

Ok yea got us! Damn who stole the jerseys??? Haha

UPDATE:

This “style guide” is floating around the Internet right now and it shows all the new different uniform combinations. Is it real? Who knows. Hope not though.

They didn’t take 2 years just to come up with this, right? Like, there’s no way this front office could be that out of touch with a fanbase. They literally added a stripe and wrote “Cleveland” on the front. I can’t believe it. I won’t believe it. These look like middle school uniforms.

Still, we’ve got 10 days till the reveal so let’s give them the benefit of the doubt until then… but PRAY this isn’t what they came up with.

In the back of my head though I really think this is the Browns going WWE and fake leaking a uniform. Jimmy Haslam doing his best Vince McMahon impression. “You all bought it!” “Even my immediate family bought it!”

Or I’m giving them wayyyy too much credit and 2 years of keeping this a secret just went down the drain due to their incompetence. Yeah, that’s probably it.
