Today the Cleveland Browns unveiled their new logos and unfortunately for them, fans were very unhappy.

Here’s the statement released by the Browns:

Our updated helmet logo is reflective of today’s modern Cleveland – the design honors the past while evolving into the future.  The iconic brown and white stripes stand tall over the orange helmet – a new orange color that matches the passion of the Dawg Pound.  The new brown facemask represents the strength and toughness of Cleveland.

2015 marks the 30th anniversary of the Dawg Pound – bestowing a unique opportunity to modernize the symbolism of the Dawg Pound through an evolved logo.  The Dawg Pound represents one of the most iconic fan bases in all of sports.  The Dawg Pound is a unifying identity of all Cleveland Browns faithful.  It’s tough and exemplifies the “Play Like A Brown” attitude.  With one passionate voice – the DAWG POUND BARKS TOGETHER.

Forget all that… everyone thought it was the same old logos with just a slightly different hue of orange.  The Twitter responses ranged from laughter to sheer disappointment.  I understand keeping up tradition but the history of the Browns isn’t exactly a positive one, a change might help things or at least make people feel like it’ll help things.
