Browns announce throwback uniform dates

Cleveland will sport their alternate uniform combo against the Raiders, Broncos and Chiefs this season.

One of the pleasures of game days for the Cleveland Browns at the old Municipal Stadium was the first glimpse of the orange helmets emerging from the baseball dugout.

It did not matter which decade or which uniform combo the team was wearing – the brown jersey and orange pants of Brian Sipe’s teams in the 1970s, or the all-white that was favored by the club in the late 1980s with Bernie Kosar leading the way – those helmets signaled that it was about to go down and the opposing team better be ready.

Much of that mystique is lost nowadays with the over-produced intros, but one constant is that the Browns are still sporting one of the league’s iconic uniforms.

That extends to their throwback uniform set, which debuted in 2021 as part of their 75th Anniversary season. A white helmet was added in 2023 to create a look that hits all the right notes, rather than being the type of garish display that other teams are fond of rolling out.

On Monday, the Browns announced they will wear the throwback kit and helmet three times this fall as part of their “White Out Series.” (Sorry for the unavoidable marketing jargon.)

The first game will be in Week 4 when the Browns take on the Las Vegas Raiders at Allegiant Stadium in the first of a three-game road trip.

The throwbacks will return to the closet until December when the Browns will once again wear them on the road in Week 13 for a Monday night meeting with the Denver Broncos at Empower Field at Mile High.

Not wanting to leave the hometown fans out of the fun, the Browns will bring the throwbacks out for the third and final time in the regular season when they host the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 15.

The dates for the throwback uniforms are the latest uniform-related news from the Browns as they previously announced a return to white facemasks on their standard orange helmets.
