Here’s an idea- Orange it out: Orange flags, Orange Jerseys. I think Brown would be to dark to really notice very well. I loved the orange jerseys why don’t they ever wear them?

Somewhere those white towels exist still. They’ll appear on eBay eventually for us collectors of tat.

I think it is funny how teams/ organizations spend how much money per year on marketing and such and it seems like they always end TRYING to counter the terrible towel in some way.. I have a hard time believing that after all these years, teams in sports cant come up with thier own thing… seems like teams and the SPORTS ITSELF ie baseball, have to give out free towels for playoffs ect … I cant understand why teams cant possibly find their own thing..

I’d make a joke about how the Browns actually have been waving the white flag for years, but really… the team and town do a fine enough job of making jokes of themselves without any outside help.

It’s OK. Browns fans already have their own white flags. They’ve been waving them quite a bit for the last decade.

I’ve come back and read this all day at least 7-8 times convinced is WAS an Onion piece that somehow slipped in. Now that it seems for real I must say while funny as hell this has to be the stupidest promotion idea I’ve ever heard of! I feel sorry for Mr. Haslam. $1,050,000,000.00 and this batch of yahoos is what you get?

Marketing guy: Hey boss, how bout we give every fan a white towel to wave? Owner: Son, you can go home for the day, thank you…. Subconciously, the browns know they will lose.

The browns have beat the Steelers 6 times since Cowher took over in 1992.

Think about that.

Hopefully they’ll get shipped to a 3rd world country and actually be used for what they were made for, to surrender now that they have 73,200 white flags to get rid of.

At least they aren’t emulating those godawful bumble bee uniforms the steelers wore last week.

Yes, it was a brain-dead idea, but considering the Steeler problems, don’t count the Brownies out just yet.

How about a white towel with a brown skid mark across the middle?

as an experiment I asked my youngest son (8yrs) what the white flag meant….he knew! for shame Browns organization! lol

I hate the whole concept of the towels simply because with the hundreds of dollars it costs now to go to a game including parking, eating and drinking the last thing I would want is rows of people waving crap so I can’t see what’s happening on the field.

It’s that lovely time of year when Bowns fans everywhere can stop planning their Sunday around the Browns’ game and watch some good movies and read some books.

I think the more pertinent question is whether they will follow through with the “brown paper bag” giveaway scheduled for next week!

Pittsburgh should hand out white flags to Browns fans.

dybzinski10 — Sun, 25 Nov 2012 00:09:46 +0000

Or the orange flags they usually give away. I mean I got like three of them… and somebody thought this was a BETTER idea?

Get that resume ready… with Haslam there’s a new sheriff in town

Why not just call them white towels? People wave them in hockey all the time, and there is no stigma of waving the white flag for surrender.

What was that last promo, you know, where the Browns packed there bags and moved to Baltimore. How did that work out?

They should hand out orange paperbags. Not those cheap ones either.. the fans will want to use them for the next decade so make sure they are sturdy.

It’s not like other sports teams dont wave white towels, even in Pittsburgh. The Penguins and Penn State both wave white towels. How ’bout not bowing to the negative people out there and stick to your decision, even if it was the wrong color.

Our helmets are orange, we’re called the browns, and our fans wave white flags…

I wonder what they are going to do with 30 or 40,000 white towels? New problem for the intern.
