One of the hallmarks of the Cleveland Browns franchise has been the team’s helmet. Although very simple, when someone thinks of the Cleveland orgnaization, one of the first things that will pop in their head is the orange helmet with the brown and white stripe down the middle of the helmet.
This season, however, Browns head coach Hue Jackson is making his players earn that stripe down the middle of their helmet. Per ESPN’s Pat McManamon, Jackson believes the players have to have the characteristics of a Cleveland Brown to wear the stripe on their helmet.
