The Browns will break out a retro, all-white look — white helmets, jerseys and pants — in Week 2 in Pittsburgh, in Week 6 at home against the San Francisco 49ers and again in Week 17 against the New York Jets in the regular-season home finale.The Browns wore plain white helmets during their first six NFL seasons — they merged from the All-America Football Conference in 1950 — before switching to the orange shell for the 1952 season.
“We’re super fired up and really excited to have this opportunity to wear an alternate helmet,” executive vice president JW Johnson said. “We decided to go with the white helmet for a couple reasons — it harkens back to our past, and a lot of our greatest players wore white helmets. We also heard from our fans that it was the direction they wanted.”
