Report: Browns’ coaches unhappy with brown jerseys

Another day, another “thing” with the Cleveland Browns.

The latest, from Tony Grossi at ESPN Cleveland, is that the coaching staff does not like the orange numbers on the new brown jerseys because it makes the player indistinguishable on game film.

Grossi addressed the issue in an answer in his latest “Hey Tony” column:

I’m told the coaches themselves were not happy with the orange numerals when they reviewed the coaches tape of the Tampa game. They had trouble identifying players. It’s hard to believe that after two years of research on all the uniform combinations that Nike could not detect a problem with that particular orange on brown combo.
