As of now, the 2020 NFL draft will be conducted as scheduled April 23-25.
While it appears the NFL Draft will not involve traditional in-person attendance, those new draftees will still be receiving new headwear.
New Era, who is the NFL’s official cap manufacturer, released it’s new line of hats for the 2020 NFL Draft.
The new draft hat for the Cleveland Browns features their “Brownie the Elf” logo in an orange and white outline on the black hat.
According to @NewEraCap this is the official #Browns 2020 NFL Draft Hat, and it is for sale on their website.https://t.co/9zz2mH0osv pic.twitter.com/jJNfF2rqoD

Brownie the Elf has been primarily used as a throwback or alternate logo.
The draft hat could indicate the Browns will soon be changing their primary logo.
Thoughts on social media of the hat seemed to be mostly neutral to positive.
The “neon light” look of Brownie on the #Browns Draft Day hat make the elf’s face look kinda terrifying. Like out of a horror movie. But I still don’t completely hate it. Love the neon “Browns” on the side though. pic.twitter.com/et9SNxnoBc
