Cleveland Browns' unveiling of new helmet on Lake Erie goes horribly wrong
To mark the occasion, the team celebrated by floating a raft out on Lake Erie - where things went horribly wrong for someone on the water.
Officially known as the 'Alpha Dawg' uniform, the Browns will wear a dark brown jersey, pants, socks, and helmet this season.
Despite being named the 'Browns' after former owner and coach Paul Brown, Cleveland's football team has traditionally worn orange helmets.
The team decided to celebrate by putting a giant inflatable helmet on a float sent out into the Great Lakes with people on it to photograph the object - and to pull back a cover unveiling it for the public.
Unfortunately for one person taking photos, they forgot they were out on the water.
TV cameras from local news station WKYC captured the moment that someone photographing the scene walked to the edge of the float, lost their footing, and fell straight into the water.
It's unclear what happened to the person who fell into the water. DailyMail.com has reached out to the Browns for comment on this matter.
The team rolled out the new uniform with much excitement and teased the launch days prior.
''Alpha Dawg' embodies what we set out to be as the Cleveland Browns, the leaders of the pack. We're excited about this new alternate helmet and the ode it pays to the rich history of the color brown as part of our organization, switching it up from our iconic orange helmets,' said JW Johnson, Cleveland Browns Executive Vice President and Partner.
'We look forward to the team wearing the all-brown helmet and uniform combination for the first time on September 21 at Huntington Bank Field and leaning into the 'Alpha Dawg' mentality throughout the 2025 season.'
The Browns will make their season debut at home against the in-state rival Cincinnati Bengals on September 7. The uniforms will be worn for the first time on September 21 against the Green Bay Packers.

England player ratings v Spain: Hannah Hampton stars as Lionesses win women's Euro 2025 final
England are European champions again after triumphing in a dramatic Women's Euro 2025 final in Basel. Substitute Chloe Kelly fired in the winning penalty as England completed another spectacular shootout comeback to defend their title and beat world champions Spain 3-1 on penalties. The Lionesses came back twice to reach the decider and book this revenge mission against the same side who beat them at the 2023 World Cup in Sydney. And Mariona Caldentey ensured England would need another when she nodded in a 25th-minute opener, cancelled out by her Arsenal team-mate Alessia Russo with a header of her own from Kelly's cross after the break. Hannah Hampton made several spectacular saves in the shootout before Kelly netted the dramatic winner after Sama Paralluelo's miss. Here is how England's players rated. Hannah Hampton, 8: Sent off balance and rooted to the spot as she watched Caldentey's header float into the corner, but redeemed herself with a heroic display in the shootout. An England legend. Lucy Bronze, 6: Bronze never clocked Caldentey sneaking up on her blindside, and watched with her head in her hands as England fell behind. A costly moment in such a huge match to lose concentration, but a much better second half. Leah Williamson, 8: Quietly excellent, dealing with a series of Spanish crosses and throughballs in typically understated fashion. Almost made a goal, too, with a brilliant surge late in the second half. Jess Carter, 7: Strong defensive performance, even if she found herself dragged out of position at times in the first half as Spain took charge. Alex Greenwood, 6: Turned inside out on a couple of occasions by Spain's passing, especially when Aitana Bonmati appeared to target the space in behind England's left-back. But made a good late intervention in the second half to prevent a Spanish winner. Ella Toone, 6: Worked hard off the ball without having much of an impact on it. Helped England keep the ball in periods where they needed some calm influence. Came off with five minutes of the second half remaining. Keira Walsh, 6: England's closest thing to a Spanish midfielder, typically tidy but Walsh was often overrun in central midfield by her supreme opponents. Georgia Stanway, 6: A bit weak in her challenge on Bonmati which led to the Spanish goal, but fought doggedly for her team in several key defensive moments. Lauren Hemp, 5: Missed a big chance in the first half when squaring the ball to Lauren James was perhaps a better option than choosing to shoot herself. Offered a useful outlet with her speed down the right side. Alessia Russo, 8: A quiet first half, but delivered England's big moment with a perfectly placed header into the far corner. Linked play well and worked hard to put pressure on the ball. Lauren James, 5: One telling moment, pressing high up the pitch, forced a turnover and led to Hemp's big first-half chance. But James didn't look fully fit and hobbled off before half-time with what looked like a recurrence of the ankle injury that also ended her semi-final early.
