WATCH: Browns' 'Alpha Dawg' helmet reveal on Lake Erie waterfront was a disaster
The Cleveland Browns revealed their new look on Wednesday, just in time for the start of training camp. The Ravens AFC North rivals unveiled a new "Alpha Dawg" look featuring the all-brown helmet to pair with an all-brown jersey combination during the 2025 season. The "Alpha Dawg" look will be worn during three home games this season: Sept. 21 versus the Green Bay Packers, Oct. 19 versus the Miami Dolphins and Dec. 7 versus the Tennessee Titans. "'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." Prior to the reveal, the Browns had a floatng object that was covered just sitting at Lake Erie near downtown Cleveland. During the reveal, some poor guy took a fall into the Lake, but continued filming. The Brown helmet sat on a 20-foot barge with a large, circular object being covered by a Cleveland Browns tarp. And it helped tease the "Alpha Dawg" reveal. News3 in Cleveland capture the replica "Alpha Dawg" helmet on the barge.

Jimmy Haslam, Browns celebrate $600M stadium funding in state budget
July 1 - A new home for the Dawg Pound with a retractable roof might be back on track upon the formal approval of a two-year Ohio state budget plan that sets aside $600 million for the Cleveland Browns' stadium construction plan. The state unveiled plans to use a trove of unclaimed funds that stem from forgotten utility deposits and bank accounts after 10 years to help offset the cost to the Haslam Sports Group, owner of the Browns. Owner and CEO Jimmy Haslam previously requested taxpayer support and state funds to help construct a $2.4 billion domed stadium 15 miles south of Cleveland in the suburb of Brook Park. A lease at the existing Huntington Bank Field expires at the end of the 2028 season. A renovation of that structure was projected to cost more than $450 million, according to the team's ownership group. Haslam said in an open letter to Browns fans on Tuesday that "the new enclosed Huntington Bank Field will be ... a first-of-its-kind" facility in the NFL. "Our fans deserve a world-class facility, and we are committed to building a state-of-the-art enclosed stadium that resonates with Cleveland, highlighting our loyal and passionate fans and the Dawg Pound, while also incorporating innovation, bold design, and an immersive experience," the letter read. "The new enclosed Huntington Bank Field will be completely fan-centric, a first-of-its-kind design in the NFL, and a dynamic venue that draws visitors from across Ohio and beyond, for concerts and significant sporting events throughout the year. This premiere facility will anchor a major lifestyle and entertainment development and be a catalyst for one of Northeast Ohio's largest economic development projects ever and something our community will be proud of and can enjoy for years to come. We appreciate the support of State leaders and their belief in this transformative project." Haslam said the group plans to continue investing in Northeast Ohio and denied tapping into state tax-revenue streams. "The state's construct is a performance grant towards the stadium that will be paid back with incremental revenue generated by the project above a current state revenue baseline," he said. "There has been no ask by the Haslam Sports Group to pledge existing tax revenue streams that would take away from other pressing community needs to fund this project. This economic development project will not only pay back but also provide all stakeholders an additional return on their investment." --Field Level Media

When will Browns debut new Brook Park dome?
The Cleveland Browns are officially moving to the suburbs. The Ohio lawmakers not only modified the Modell Law to facilitate easy passage, but they also secured $600 million in funds for the Haslam Sports Group and the Browns to secure their new project. Given the steep time, energy, and preparation the team has been putting into making the fanbase aware of their intentions to build a dome in Brook Park, just outside of Cleveland, this move comes as no surprise. We've seen it coming from a mile away. Advertisement The Haslam Sports Group wants to create a facility that can not only house the Browns but is conducive to hosting events for four seasons of the year instead of two. The hope is that the city can host a Super Bowl, NCAA tournament regional games, larger-scale concerts, and more. But when will the Browns officially move to Brook Park? The Browns have a lease with their current stadium downtown on the Lake Erie waterfront through the 2028 season. This means we will still have four more seasons of the Browns in the poorly constructed Huntington Bank Field off the coast of Lake Erie. This gives the Haslam Sports Group four years to get their dome built and prepared for a Cleveland Browns game day. So, for fans who are upset about the move to a dome and the suburbs, just like the president, you've got four more years.
