(My thanks to Jon Dies for the Reddit link.) And no, I don’t know what time the unveiling is scheduled for, although I’m trying my best to find out. Of course, we have to take all of this with a grain of sodium chloride because it’s, you know, just some guy on Reddit. The Paul Brown logo, if that’s what it is, is intriguing, no? The block-C and helmet descriptions largely conform with other info that’s been circulating. I think it’s Paul Brown and they can’t show his face because his son owns the Bengals.

It’s a silhouette of a man from shoulders up wearing a derby hat, but his chin is to his chest and the hat’s brim covers all but his chin and a smirk. The final one is my favorite and, if I had to guess, I bet it’s the new primary logo. It’s a darker orange with a broad brown stripe bordered in white with what looks like little hats in the stripe like Seattle’s wing pattern. The first is a lighter-than-we’re-used-to brown block-C with a white outline. He says there are three new marks, as follows: Potentially major Browns info ”” or not: Someone on Reddit who apparently works in the retail/merch biz has described what he claims to be the Browns’ new logos. (My thanks to Rob Yasinsac for tipping me off to this one.) Think a team in any of the Big Four leagues would ever do something like this? Still, given the macho culture that’s rampant throughout so much of the sports world, it’s nice to see this particular cause get equal time with all the camouflage and pink uniforms. I’m not generally a fan of creating separate uniforms for every cause or initiative under the sun. Update, 7:45am: Twitter user informs me that Detroit FC - a fourth-tier soccer team - wore LGBT-awareness jerseys for a match last June. During last year’s Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, the German team wore rainbow-patterned attire for the opening ceremonies, which was widely interpreted as a protest against Russia’s anti-gay laws (although the German sports authorities denied it).This year’s will be on June 26, and they’ll be giving away this T-shirt. In MLB, the Giants have been doing an annual LGBT Night promotion for several years now.

The closest things I’m aware of are these: Have any other teams, in any sport, ever worn a gay pride or gay rights uniform? If so, I can’t recall any. Kiruna IF has been wearing rainbow-patterned jerseys as their primary uniform - not just a one-off - throughout the 2014-15 season (further info here click photo to enlarge): It turns out that Örebro isn’t the first Swedish hockey team to wear a uni design in support of gay rights. According to this Hockey News story, the entire Örebro team - players and staff - marched in the local pride parade earlier in the day. The visuals notwithstanding, it’s interesting to see a team wearing a gay pride uni. Toss in a rainbow design for Gay Pride Night, as the Swedish team Örebro did on Saturday, and the results, as you can see above, are eye-popping. As you know, European hockey uniforms are plastered with ads.
