The Cleveland Browns asked for and received permission from the NFL to use their very popular Color Rush uniforms as their primary home uniform.

The Cleveland Browns recently changed their primary uniforms for the 2019-2020 season to their color rush. However they will not be wearing them for all eight home games.

Cleveland will wear their Color Rush uniforms for six of their eight home games in 2019.

  • Tennessee Titans (9/8)
  • Los Angeles Rams (9/22)
  • Seattle Seahawks (10/13)
  • Pittsburgh Steelers (11/14)
  • Cincinnati Bengals (12/8)
  • Baltimore Ravens (12/22)

Cleveland being granted permission by the NFL is a big deal. The Color Rush promotion was officially discontinued after the 2018 season. Teams can still wear them, but none were expected to wear them as a primary uniform option.

The Browns wore the popular uniforms for 3 games last year, all of which they won (Ravens, Bengals, Jets). Cleveland was actually the last NFL team to debut their Color Rush uniform, wearing it for the first time in their legendary comeback victory on Thursday Night Football against the New York Jets. Cleveland will start the season wearing their new primary uniforms against the Tennessee Titans Week 1 and look to continue their run of success wearing uniforms that have quickly become a fan favorite.

Browns Players to Watch: Week 1 vs Titans

The first week of every NFL Season is always high stress. Let’s take a look at five key players for the Cleveland Browns.

  • Baker Mayfield
    • The 2nd year quarterback has a lot of pressure on him, and he’s hoping to avoid the “sophomore slump”. Above all the key to his success is doing what he does best, buying time with his mobility. Considering the Browns shuffled the offensive line this may be counted on more this season than last.
  • Eric Kush
    • The projected starter at the right guard position will have many question marks for a position previously held by Kevin Zeitler, Zeitler was traded to the Giants this past offseason. Kush will need to pull his weight keep Baker upright.
  • Jarvis Landry
    • Everyone is talking about how explosive the Baker+OBJ connection is going to be. Meanwhile they forget that Jarvis Landry is going to be going up a lesser defensive back. Landry will certainly have plenty of chances to prove himself.
  • David Njoku
    • The talented pass catcher had struggles blocking last season. With the new and improved offense, David Njoku is expected to make a leap in his blocking ability in addition to improving his receiving numbers.
  • Denzel Ward
    • The 2nd year corner had tackling concerns last season. Resulting with Denzel Ward suffering concussions in his rookie campaign. We can expect him to make a jump under new defensive coordinator Steve Wilks.

As expected, Greg Robinson remains in a Browns uniform. Cleveland re-signed their starting left tackle Monday. Cleveland released him Sunday for apparent salary cap reasons and to accommodate placing Drew Forbes on injured reserve. This series of events did cause some fans to panic Sunday evening.

Contrary to thoughts of many, Robinson was not subject to the waiver process. This allows the Browns translations regarding Robinson to not encounter any issues.

Greg Robinson was back at practice Monday after re-signing with the team.

Greg Robinson will be eligible to play against the Titan and will ultimately help solidify the Browns offensive line for Week 1. Robinson will be tasked with protecting Baker Mayfield this season as Cleveland looks to build upon last season. Protecting Mayfield will be crucial to the Browns success in 2019.

The highly praised recruit was drafted 2nd overall by the Rams in 2014. After an unsuccessful tenure with the Rams, Robinson spent one year with Lions before landing in Cleveland last season. Greg Robinson joined the Browns through free agency and ultimately won the starting job mid-way through last season. Robinson replaced an ineffective Desmond Harrison. A move which just so happened to coincide with the Browns coaching change.
