In the offseason we start to talks about some weird stuff. The latest is the stripes on the helmets of the Cleveland Browns.
This came up as head coach Hue Jackson removed the white and brown stripes down the middle of the helmet, and of course in doing so he said they had to ‘earn their stripes.’
While he surely stole that slogan from his days with the Cincinnati Bengals, it may be a good thing he did. Not because players will really be motivated by it, but because it looks kind of cool as an all-orange helmet.
