The Cleveland Browns are more than likely getting new uniforms in 2014 and there's no shortage of ideas from fans of what they should look like.

More brown. Bring back the orange pants. Put an elf on it. We heard it all. And even though Browns owner Jimmy Haslam said the helmet was off-limits, we got ideas for those too. Change the color. Give it a logo. How about a chrome or matte finish like those fancy college helmets?

We asked cleveland.com readers to send in their designs for the new-look Cleveland Browns. Here's a look some of them.

Submitted by Scot Robinson, who wrote, "I kept the traditional colors, but changed the usage of them for a fresher look in a variety of combinations. I'm a Browns fan for 50 years and a graphic designer. I tried submitting them to the Browns but the marketing person wouldn't accept them. They thought I was soliciting my ideas. I'm just a die-hard Browns fan wanting my team to succeed!"

Scott Haury emailed us a new logo and uniform set. Scott writes, in part,

Who or what is a Brown? What does a Brown look like? Who or what does a Brown represent? The Browns logo should answer those questions. The current and past logos don’t. The "B" logo is okay, but boring and generic. The "Dawg head" has no emotion and plain, too. The "helmet" logo is overused, outdated, tacky, and hardly lends itself well to promotional items. It’s a helmet, not a Brown. However, I love the old "Brownie elf" but, that's just it. He's old.







Now for the Browns uniforms my concept stays in line with my new logo concept. I use the elf’s sleeve stripes from the logo as stripes down the sides of the jersey and pant, then encompass them with thin orange piping. The stripes give the uniforms an old rugby or yesteryear look, but still modern and don't stray too far from our comfort zone. Besides, "stripes" are all we really have anyway and ties directly to our helmet, which should never change.

JohnnySeoul sent us a link to his uniform design, which includes a grey alternate kit.

Johnny writes, "I've never been a fan of vertical and horizontal stripes in one setting. This modern update to the classic Browns stripe keeps the vertical flow throughout the entire set. I also would love to see the Browns utilize the grey on their facemask and add it to other aspects of the uniform. Grey and orange have always looked great together."

A couple of Browns fans pointed us in the direction of Mr. Design Junkie on Facebook. Of these designs, Browns fan Duan Carter wrote, "I'm glad the organization is considering new uniforms – I know they said they did not want to change the helmet, but we need an overall new look and make our current uniform a throwback uniform to wear on special occasions."

cleveland.com reader Grady Quinn sent us these 3 helmet designs. We personally like the helmet-in-helmet idea, though an orange helmet-in-orange helmet design would've blown our minds.

cleveland.com reader Ryan sent us a link to LI Phil's designs. Ryan wrote, "These look more like the old long sleeve jerseys like they had when Jim Brown played... They look TOUGH!. We do NOT need "updated" uniform designs. What we have now are classy and timeless football uniforms. and classy and timeless is always better than new and trendy, because in the span of only a decade, new and trendy starts to look dated and dumb."

cleveland.com reader Bobby Hoover's uniforms resemble the Browns' uniforms of 1983, which they scrapped after just one season. He writes, "My uniform concept are Nike. They're updated but remain traditional starting with the jersey numbers which depict from the orginal 1946 uniform. Clearly the pants are a fan favorite that come from the 1980's era."
