That led to a lot of speculation.
Orange uniforms seemed to be a prevailing thought (or wish).
However, the 1946 Browns did not wear an orange uniform; orange uniforms were introduced in 1953.

Months ago, the 75th-anniversary jerseys were supposedly leaked though many were skeptical.

The helmets are also reminiscent of the Browns’ early days when the player’s number was painted on both sides.

Busy Days In Cleveland
Cleveland is a busy place these days.

And that’s just the Browns news.
Not to be outdone, the Cleveland Indians made their big reveal yesterday including a much anticipated name change.
Guardians of the Baseball Diamond! Can't wait for the new uniforms, they're probably out of this world 😉 https://t.co/JT1yEHUJ7M

Down To Business
These are exciting times, but it is time for the Browns to get to work on living up to the 2021 expectations.
Team members report to training camp on July 27.
For a change, the coaching staff returns, and there are no visible roster gaps.
Free agents and draft picks are signed.
Now it is time for the team to begin their quest for the AFC North divisional title which they have never won since the division was instituted in 2002.
The Browns will need all this time to prepare for a very tough opening game against the defending AFC Champion Kansas City Chiefs on September 12.
