The Cleveland Browns will look to get their offense ready for the future.
However, they will have a throwback look to it.
They recently announced that they will bring back their white facemasks on a permanent basis, and the fans couldn’t be happier.
In the past, the Browns used brown facemasks on their primary helmets, with white facemasks only as part of their alternate throwback threads.

The team has now reverted that decision, donning white facemasks on their primary uniform for the first time since 1995.
The Browns used those facemasks for two decades until the franchise relocated to Baltimore to become the Baltimore Ravens.
Then, they made a return with the organization when they rejoined the league as an expansion franchise four years later, but they were changed to gray in 2006 to pay tribute to their pre-1975 helmets.
Nine years later, the Browns changed the facemask to brown, donning it on all uniforms except for the throwback editions.
This isn’t only an aesthetical improvement but also because it is reminiscent of one of the best times in franchise history, as they were a perennial postseason team in the mid-80s and even reached the AFC Championship Game three times.
Hopefully, that’ll inspire Kevin Stefanski’s team next season.
They shocked the world by making the playoffs despite having four different starting quarterbacks in 2023.
Now, with a fully healthy Deshaun Watson, a new weapon in Jerry Jeudy, and a new offensive coordinator in Ken Dorsey, expectations could be at an all-time high in Cleveland.
