Penalty! Unnecessary Blandness! Redesigning the Worst NFL Helmet Graphics (via Fast Company)

As for simplicity, I guess the Cleveland Browns score highest. They use no logo at all but why do the Browns have orange helmets?

Good question. Best I could come up with without calling the front office:

In the 1950 and 1951 seasons, the Browns wore the white helmets in day games and plain orange helmets in night games because of an NFL rule prohibiting the use of white or light-colored helmets for night games because of the lighting and the use of a white football for night games.
The Cleveland Browns used to have their training camp at Bowling Green [State University. So,] to honor [the school] the Browns adopted [BGSU's collegiate colors].

And now you almost know. On that note, which helmets and jerseys make you glad or gag?

The Good, The Bad and The Browns

Bears 30, Browns 6. We had a Brady Quinn sighting late in this one; that should tell you how it went. Cleveland turned it over five times, but don't worry. They, the Rams, and the Raiders have their byes next week, so the average quality of football should rise dramatically.

Also: Ravens ruins the Broncos' once-perfect season, 30-7. Which is about as bad for Cleveland fans as watching Sabathia v. Lee in the World Series.

Football redux

Sure my home teams lost this weekend.  Vikes over Browns, Trojans over Bucks.  My alma mater, I won't even go there...

It's mid-September.  I shouldn't worry so early.  And I don't.  You see, I am from Cleveland, Ohio.  I eat heartbreak with stadium mustard and onions.  And when it suits me, sweet relish.

I got my Columbus fix in 2002.  The Browns?  Well, it's only been 45 years.  What's one more?

This is football, dammit.  My kind of football.  I have high def and I'm not afraid to use it.  Now pass me some hot wings and keep the beer cold.

Yeah, the blue cheese, too.
