Cleveland Browns to Wear Orange Jerseys Again

By Zac Jackson

They’re back.

The Browns have been given permission by the National Football League to wear their orange jerseys in Sunday’s game against Carolina. The Browns debuted the special jerseys in their 34-17 win over Houston on Oct. 20.

“We want to thank the National Football League for the opportunity to wear our orange alternate jersey again this weekend,” Browns President and CEO Carmen Policy said. “The jersey will be worn as part of the NFL’s Thanksgiving Classics week-long celebration. We wanted to authenticate the orange jersey by wearing it with the A.L. patch (in commemoration of team owner Alfred Lerner) displayed on the left chest.”

Mr. Lerner passed away on Oct. 23. The Browns have been wearing the A.L. patch since.

Policy said a percentage of the proceeds from the sale of the orange jerseys will go to the Cleveland Browns Foundation.
