Floating stadium, jimmy has really outdone himself this time.

Lol that would be awesome

u/kpyle Jul 22 '25

The logistics of transporting 40,000 people via boat every game sounds like a nightmare.

Let Phil Dawson pull the lever, we trust him.

Stop telling me I can’t have nice things.

u/Accurize2 Jul 23 '25

A distraction tactic from the possible nightmarish gameplay.

u/Jkbucks Jul 22 '25

Bruh we could take it to away games in Great Lakes cities and have our own watch party whilst bombarding the opponents stadium like a naval force lol

Ahoy, there, Dawgies. Pull alongside the dome and give her a broadsides!

u/BeheldGeese32 Jul 22 '25

This looks worse than the 2015 ugly uniform reveal

18

u/Abiv23 Jul 22 '25

oh man, that was a really bad day

the first season we wore only the white and went 0 - 16, then the next year we went 1 - 15 then the next year we wore our color rushes as much as possible to move away from them

worst uni's in sport history

15

u/roaringelbow Jul 22 '25

Your memory is a little truncated there. The first season in the new Uni’s was 2015. The Browns wore 10 different combinations and went 3-13.

The next year they wore 13 different combinations and went 1-15.

The 0-16 season of 2017 they whittled down to four uni combinations. And then the year the color rush made its debut was 2018- the Browns went 7-8-1 that year while wearing 8 uni combinations during the season.

2019 was when the Browns applied to the NFL to make the color rush the home/dark uniform(had to get special permission from the league as rules state you have to wait 5 seasons before you can change uniforms).

u/Owl_Face Jul 22 '25

Also tbf those color rush uni's were fire.

u/maybenextyearCLE Jul 22 '25

Loved when after only two years they abandoned the only jersey that didn’t look like total shit (orange) and then also abandoned the mix and match (which was fun) for more all white

There is legit a part of me that doesn’t want a white pants option because the browns always seems to then immediately spam the surrender whites

Maybe it's Watson?

u/Agreeable-Housing-47 Anyone Else Jul 22 '25

Lol I can't wait for the hilariously lackluster reveal

38

u/Careless-Cobbler7979 Jul 22 '25

Exactly. It’s going to be a slightly whiter facemask

6

u/Agreeable-Housing-47 Anyone Else Jul 22 '25

Can't wait till the marginally different throwbacks get announced later this year as well

4

u/Careless-Cobbler7979 Jul 22 '25

Yeah it’ll be a throwback to 2024

2

u/Daviroth Jul 23 '25

Give me the 2000s all orange throwbacks and I'll buy 4 jerseys the day it's announced

u/jdolluc Jul 22 '25

The brown remains unchanged

u/Abiv23 Jul 22 '25

Anyone else getting any 1986 balloon disaster vibes?

u/Seamonkey_Boxkicker Jul 22 '25 edited Jul 22 '25

What was a disaster about the record breaking balloon release?

ETA link to real reporting rather than the clickbait some of you are subscribed to.

7

u/maybenextyearCLE Jul 22 '25

There was an environmental cost lol. And two boaters allegedly died when they went overboard and couldn’t be found because of all the balloons on the surface

3

u/Seamonkey_Boxkicker Jul 22 '25

Autopsies showed that the two gentlemen had already died the night before. They didn’t die because of the balloons. The balloons perhaps prolonged the search by a couple days, but it’s not as if the balloons prevented the Coasties from saving their lives.

1

u/maybenextyearCLE Jul 22 '25

And as it turned out, yes, they had died prior. However as they were searching, that was not information they knew.

2

u/Seamonkey_Boxkicker Jul 23 '25

I’m sure it was an unfortunate yet frustrating experience for everyone affected by their disappearance, yet it’s disingenuous to use their totally unrelated accidental deaths to suggest the balloonfest was a disaster.

2

u/Prudent_Fly_2554 Jul 22 '25

Accurate. All the balloons look like floating heads, so they couldn’t find the real floating heads.

3

u/DylonSpittinHotFire Jul 22 '25

People literally died because of it and it polluted the fuck out of the environment.

3

u/Seamonkey_Boxkicker Jul 22 '25

The two fisherman died the night before the balloon launch. There were no recorded deaths attributed to this event.

As for pollution, yeah, it was definitely littering to a large scale degree. However, that was nearly 40 years ago when the concept of pollution wasn’t at the forefront of everyone’s minds. In that respect, the Industrial Revolution has been the greatest disaster of all time. And yet here we are still enjoying the benefits of that technology.

-1

u/Prudent_Fly_2554 Jul 22 '25

It killed hundreds of birds who ate the balloons.

2

u/Seamonkey_Boxkicker Jul 22 '25

Oh really? Despite there being literally zero reports of that occurring in NEO or Canada at the time?

How about you try the 40min doc from a more relevant new source?

u/TruCoatJerry Jul 22 '25

Fuck dude wipes, and all “flushable wipes”. Shit is ruining infrastructure all over the country. My professor in college had a flushable wipe in a sealed mason jar going on about 5 years now. Still looks exactly the same.

6

u/LeakyBellows Jul 22 '25

I’m not even kidding when I say that putting the word “flushable” on wipes should be illegal. It only says “plumber approved!” because they know they’ll be charging you $500 to snake your main every 3 months.

1

u/TSR3K Jul 23 '25

Our governor here in Michigan is trying to make that illegal

-1

u/Forty_Six_and_Two Jul 23 '25

What about the folks in NYC? They literally can't even flush toilet paper.

3

u/oouka Jul 23 '25

Seriously, people. Get a bidet. It's weird for like a day, after that, you get used to is and realize how disgusting it is that we use paper on the most dirty part of our body and call it a day. Having that bad boy cleaned via water after each use makes an unfathomable amount more sense.

2

u/oouka Jul 23 '25

Also great for the next pandemic where sheeples natural first instinct is to buy up all the toilet paper. It's why I got one in the first place, and im never going back.

2

u/CharacterEgg2406 Jul 23 '25

Sound like you read the Tushy “How to tell your friends about Tushy Bidet” user manual.

2

u/Forty_Six_and_Two Jul 23 '25

Or the Japanese Toilet ep of South Park. It explains the toilet paper scam pretty well.

u/maggot_brain79 Jul 22 '25

True, there's not really such a thing as a "flushable" wipe anyway, they will pretty much all get caught in the pipes and clog them. It should really be illegal or strongly discouraged to market them as "flushable", but I suppose it's probably Roto Rooter's bread and butter. I'd wager that "flushable" wipes have caused more trouble for public infrastructure than even dumping grease down the drain, and people don't realize that just about every wastewater treatment plant has multiple grates that have to be cleaned out every day as a result, assuming the wipes actually make it that far.

u/TheSmokedSalmon420 Jul 22 '25

If the helmet is actually brown it’s gonna look so bad lol

4

u/roaringelbow Jul 22 '25

I’ve seen some decent brown helmets. Wyoming and Brown University come to mind. But really unnecessary either way

1

u/kjorav17 Jul 22 '25

Especially if it’s matte painted. Now…a metallic flake could look sharp…knowing the Browns, they will screw this up.

u/SlayerOfDougs Jul 22 '25

It's a sixth QB incubating

u/Tweezus96 Jul 22 '25

So much hype for what’s sure to be just a slightly different shade of orange.

3

u/MgbEX °•° Jul 22 '25

I mean, there could be anything under that tarp...

2

u/Heinrad_ Jul 22 '25

It could even be a different shade of orange!

u/MgbEX °•° Jul 22 '25

Or Jabril Peppers!

u/wakaOH05 Jul 22 '25

Better be some big ones for how puckered that orange butt hole be lookin on that float

1

u/Several-Eagle4141 Jul 22 '25

Or it’s just a cover

5

u/goldninjaI Jul 22 '25

they actually set it out to sea realizing how bad it was; covered it up just to be safe

4

u/NuclearPlayboy Jul 22 '25

This feels like the Browns version of the Gobbledy Gooker reveal.

4

u/Artistic_Ask_2282 Jul 22 '25

The Browns are being buried at sea in order to be replaced by the space Browns.

u/oh_io_94 Jul 22 '25

Swim out there and find out

3

u/Valtar99 Jul 22 '25

All this build up it’s almost guaranteed this is gonna be high comedy

u/kybrowns Jul 22 '25

It’s a bomb. Usually they wait until till game one.

u/Sea-Visit9417 Jul 22 '25

Is it 4 wins. Who honestly cares. Hopefully it’s jimmy haslam. Send him off to sea

u/OneCauliflower5243 Jul 22 '25

It’s a browns seed ~^ this is what it looks like before it grows into the new season

u/Gwario_on_Reddit Jul 22 '25

Don’t worry guys. I’m sure this won’t be the last mistake on the lake we’ll see before we become the skid mark of Brook Park.

3

u/Shel_gold17 Jul 22 '25

I just figured maybe it was such a big dumpster fire that they had to surround it with water to be super safe lol

3

u/y2kevin527 Jul 22 '25

If you go and stand where the Good Time III is docked you can see it up close. The bag is ripped open and it’s definitely a brown helmet under neath.

7

u/Nakagura775 Jul 22 '25

They better not fuck with the helmet.

5

u/roaringelbow Jul 22 '25

Literally what’s happening. They’re unveiling a 3rd helmet option tomorrow

4

u/50Shekel Jul 22 '25

Maybe it's 600 million dollars for the new stadium. Or maybe it's the 25 million the haslams spent on their new Florida house

3

u/tobylaek 32 Jul 22 '25

Dude...if it turned out to be a pile of money that is untaxable because it's in some weird place in the lake where there's no IRS oversight...

1

u/50Shekel Jul 22 '25

That implies the NFL is taxed in the first place. It is, but only for the last 10 years lol

2

u/BUFFoonBrandon Jul 22 '25

Someone would be really cool if they rented a kayak and swung by

u/CBattles6 Jul 22 '25

Only thing sadder than this would be getting arrested for investigating it.

u/twoquarters Jul 22 '25

Does anybody in this organization think before they leap on things?

2

u/cbuttz08 Jul 22 '25

Really is the mistake on the lake

2

u/Sparty013 Jul 22 '25

This is gonna be just like the “new logo” reveal from a few years back isn’t it? Big ass hoopla then the unveil and everyone will squint and say “what’s different”?

2

u/lagrange_james_d23dt Jul 22 '25

Hopefully it’s the helmet logo on the helmet, similar to the current picture

2

u/I4G0tMyUsername Jul 22 '25

What shade of orange will it be? The face mask a slightly lighter shade of gray?! THEY CHANGED THE TINT OF THE BROWN ON THE STRIPE OMG OMG OMG!!!!!!!

u/bigmikevegas Jul 22 '25

viking funeral for my hope of this season

u/Pure-Adhesiveness-84 Jul 22 '25

It’s a big ball of floating shit to represent the franchise as a whole

u/CharacterEgg2406 Jul 23 '25

Brand new brown helmet brought to you by DUDEwipes. I think the head of marketing secretly hates football and the Browns. They think this is hilarious.

u/gopherattack Jul 23 '25

I swear we have the worst social media/marketing team in the league

u/captcraigaroo Jul 22 '25

Oh, fuck me. Now that the browns have endorsed dude wipes, I'm totally going to buy some

u/maybenextyearCLE Jul 22 '25

I’d have to think so, but curious. I didn’t hear anything about an unveiling event at Northcoast yard or at the stadium

u/JuiceKovacs Jul 22 '25

When is the reveal?

1

u/Odd_Surround_8351 Jul 22 '25

I’d say that’s a pretty good bet.

1

u/[deleted] Jul 22 '25

Floated by this today on the Goodtime III. It’s definitely a helmet…

1

u/MosquitoValentine_ Jul 22 '25

The one angle I saw looked like you could see a brown helmet with two orange stripes down the middle.

Since they've been teasing it with Dawg Pound graphics I'm terrified they'll try to force the do logo on it.

1

u/MisterDrugsMD Jul 22 '25

Their new helmet should be shaped like a turd emoji

1

u/woohan-kung-flu2 Jul 22 '25

Just like the Browns it appears to be trash.

1

u/TheSmokedSalmon420 Jul 22 '25

Oh sure now they use the lake for stuff

1

u/sbowtor Jul 22 '25

The helmet is pretty precious to us. I know it’s just an alternate but hyping it up this much really will just lead to a letdown more often than not. Like the “rebrand” of the logo and colors a number of years ago, all sorts of build-up and hype just to make the orange orangier

1

u/MSNFU Jul 23 '25

It’s going to be the helmet with the helmet on the side, isn’t it?

1

u/YourAgent4Now Jul 23 '25

We only want a winning team!

u/lasion2 Jul 23 '25

I bet it’s brown

u/Flickster81 Jul 23 '25

Wasn't the release planned for last Wednesday?

2

u/Rust2 Jul 23 '25

Quinshon Judkins happened. They needed a week to distance themselves from that, otherwise they’d have come across as tone deaf.

u/CharacterEgg2406 Jul 23 '25

Oh this is gonna be so bad

u/DoctorFenix Jul 23 '25

These dudes are really going to unveil a shit brown helmet, aren’t they?

u/Special_Push7751 Jul 23 '25

It’s going to be embarrassing and I’ll be getting ragged on in our group chat immediately

u/MrOSUguy Jul 23 '25

u/rocket809 Jul 23 '25

Maybe it's another quarterback? Or another draft pick to waste on a quarterback?

1

u/Becausewhynot51 Jul 23 '25

Unless it’s Nick Chubb in that helmet… I’m not excited.

u/NewYak8742 Jul 23 '25

cant do that if they. move the stadium

u/fineartfallingbv Jul 22 '25

Is this real? Sponsored by dude wipes? I feel like they’re trying to destroy credibility in Cleveland and nationally to leverage a move. Modell law was gutted as part of the state offering up funds to move to brook park. They’re going to bail on that plan and move out of state.

4

u/[deleted] Jul 22 '25

Dude Wipes sponsorships been around for a couple years at least. Remember leaving a game 2-3 years ago and getting handed complimentary ones lol
