The White Facemask is Back!

Some traditions are destined to return. The time is now for the Browns as they bring back the white facemask for the helmets beginning in the 2024 season. It's an homage to the storied history of the franchise, paying tribute to 1975-1995 era highlighted by the Kardiac Kids and the AFC Championship years, to again from 1999-2005 when the Browns returned to Cleveland. Fans got a taste of the white facemask when it was featured in one game in the 2022 and 2023 seasons, but the 2024 season marks a moment in the Browns' history with an updated look to both the helmets worn on game day and the logo of the Browns. It's a change that highlights all that they've been and all that they could be as a team in the future.

With ties to the organization's storied history over the years, the change back to the white facemask answers a call from the Dawg Pound and pays tribute to the eras of the team.

The Kardiac Kids Era

The Kardiac Kids Era

The Browns featured white facemasks starting in 1975. Then, in 1979 and 1980, quarterback Brian Sipe led the Browns to a series of last-minute wins, engineering the nickname of Kardiac Kids.

The AFC Championship Era

The AFC Championship Era

When Kosar was drafted in 1985, the Browns went on a successful stretch in the late '80s. Cleveland had eight playoff appearances during that period, as Kosar led the team to three AFC Championships in the late 1980s.

Browns Return to Cleveland

In 1999, the Browns returned as an expansion franchise and brought back the white facemasks until 2005.

The Browns wore the white facemasks twice in the last two seasons — Week 15 (2022) against the Ravens and Week 11 (2023) against the Steelers.

From 1970 to 2005, the Browns' primary logo featured the orange helmet with the white facemask. Now, the logo will once again reflect the helmets worn on gameday.

"We are excited to honor our storied history through the return of the white facemask. As we continue to write the next chapter of Browns' history, we reflect on different eras, such as the Kardiac Kids and the return of the franchise, that led us to this place in time. We heard our loyal fans and are thrilled to see the white facemask featured on the Browns' helmets beginning with the 2024 season and beyond as we continue to write the history of our franchise."
