tampadawgs Posted September 27, 2013 Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 So, this image hit the Cleveland Browns’ Facebook page and Instagram feed this afternoon. At first glance, it looks like the hand (paw?) of Chomps. But the striped arms? You be the judge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PoeticG Posted September 27, 2013 Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 Underneath the photo is a phrase that says says.... Catch the #Browns take on the #Bengals at FirstEnergy Stadium this Sunday at 1pm. Who knows who you’ll see there! I think this is a tell here. I welcome Brownie back! This is what we've needed for a long time. I kept thinking in my head that "brownie" left with Paul Brown years ago and that's why we've had suck crap luck. Well, I always wanted to find a way to bring him back. If this is true and Brownie is back; 12-4 Dawgs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soju Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 they are preparing the fans for an incorporated Elf logo for the uniform change in '14. As someone else said, toughen him up or it's a no go for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shep Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 Love, love, love the elf. It won't be on the helmet or anything but it'll be part of the overall merchandizing. I think it's really fun and looks great on a vintage cap or t-shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shep Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 The Dawg was a little confusing considering it has nothing to do with our name. It's nice to nickname your defense or a part of the stadium, but to start using it as your logo? Just never got it. And that B in a football thing was about as uninspired as it gets. The elf is distinctive and a little quirky, which I love. Embrace it. Those old drawings of the grimacing elf running with a football, that was classic.

The Italian DawgPound Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 Don't touch our helmet, please. It's great without any logo. Just orange and brown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shep Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 The brass already committed to no logo and keeping the helmet orange. I don't think that outlaws a matte finish or tweaking stripes, which is been done plenty. Hell, we've worn white helmets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cysko Kid Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 It's not actually an elf you know. According to lore a brownie is a house spirit most closely related to a hobgoblin. It does chores and favors in return for food but you must never gift it clothes. This is the surest way to offend it and ensure it never comes back. This is the only acceptable argument against changing the uniform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lambert_58 Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 It's not actually an elf you know. According to lore a brownie is a house spirit most closely related to a hobgoblin. It does chores and favors in return for food but you must never gift it clothes. This is the surest way to offend it and ensure it never comes back. This is the only acceptable argument against changing the uniform. From the Wiki: In folklore, a brownie resembles the hob, similar to a hobgoblin. Brownies are said to inhabit houses and aid in tasks around the house. However, they do not like to be seen and will only work at night, traditionally in exchange for small gifts of food. Among food, they especially enjoy porridge and honey. They usually abandon the house if their gifts are called payments, or if the owners of the house misuse them. Brownies make their homes in an unused part of the house. Folklorist John Gregorson Campbell distinguishes between the English brownie, which lived in houses, and the Scottish ùruisg or urisk, which lived outside in streams and waterfalls and was less likely to offer domestic help.[1] The ùruisg enjoyed solitude at certain seasons of the year. Around the end of the harvest, he became more sociable, and hovered around farmyards, stables and cattle-houses. He particularly enjoyed dairy products, and tended to intrude on milkmaids, who made regular libations of milk or cream to charm him off, or to gain his favour. He was usually seen only by those who possessed second sight, though there were instances when he made himself visible to ordinary people as well. He is said to have been jolly and personable, with flowing yellow hair, wearing a broad blue bonnet and carrying a long walking staff.
