PHOTO: Are these the Browns' new jerseys?
A photo that some say depicts the Cleveland Browns' new jerseys is making the rounds on social media.
If these are the real deal, they will be the first NFL jerseys to feature a large, collegiate-style wordmark across the top of the chest. They also have a few other unique features, including sleeve stripes that appear to stretch onto the chest and an upper-left drop shadow on the numerals.
It's not unprecedented for a new NFL jersey to leak before its official unveiling. Images of both the Jacksonville Jaguars and Miami Dolphins' recent uniform redesigns leaked on Instagram.
That said, it's unclear whether the Browns jersey in this image is legit or a well-made forgery. It would be highly unusual for the Browns to move from brown primary jerseys (which they've sported for decades) to orange, though it's possible the jerseys in this shot are merely an alternate look.
We'll find out if these are the real thing April 14, when the Browns are slated to unveil their new look to the public.
