NFL Fans Rightfully Loved the Browns’ New Alternate White Helmets

In this story:
The Cleveland Browns unveiled new alternate white helmets on Tuesday, and NFL fans everywhere loved the new look.
The new white-helmet is an attempt to pay homage to the uniforms the team wore in its first six years of existence from 1946–51. The clean new look features an all-white helmet with a brown and orange stripe down the middle. The team is expected to wear the helmets in three games this season as part of an “all-white series” of games: Week 2 against the Steelers on Monday Night Football, Week 6 against the 49ers and Week 17 in a Thursday night game against the Jets.
Here’s a full look at the Browns’ new lids, as modeled by Cleveland tight end David Njoku.

The Browns' official Twitter account also traded barbs with their in-state rival when the Bengals seemingly insinuated that Cleveland was copying them on the white helmet train.
