The ‘Color Rush’ uniforms will be a primary uniform for the 2019 season.
The NFL granted the Browns’ request and the team will wear the uniforms six times at home beginning with Sunday’s opener against the Tennessee Titans.
With new uniforms set to debut next year combined with the popularity of the brown uniform with orange numerals and stripes, the Browns petitioned the league office in March to make the change.
The news Wednesday comes as little surprise because the marketing materials for the upcoming season all featured the uniforms and color scheme. Odell Beckham Jr. and Jarvis Landry were pictured in them on the cover of the Sports Illustrated NFL preview issue as well.
The team will also wear the uniforms against the Rams on Sunday Night Football Sept. 22, the Seahawks Oct. 13, the Steelers on Thursday Night Football Nov. 14, the Bengals Dec. 8 and the Ravens Dec. 22.
The Browns went 3-0 – beating the Jets in Week 3 ending a 19-game winless streak, the Ravens in Week 5 and the Bengals in Week 16 – in 2018 while wearing them.
