Those black jerseys return on Sunday. They are wearing it with black pants, which I admit should look pretty cool, and orange socks
They are 0-4 wearing the black jerseys but 2-1 when wearing orange socks. The lone orange sock loss was with the black jersey. We shall see which uniform element emits the most superstition karma. They need to break the curse of the black jersey

As mentioned, first with the black pants.
For non-orange, we have historically done the best with both blacks.

Not So Fun fact for black on black that you may have forgotten
Palmer tore his knee in it
Dalton also tore his thumb in black....but white pants (just looked)
I always get a little antsy when they wear black

What was the temperature last time we wore them? Could be the difference.

Black on black is bad. They always lose in them.

Unfortunately, no, I remember all too well. I hated the all-black combo for that very reason for years. Silly superstition, but those are the kind that seem to endure.

Bo and Woody coming to the game wearing black on black. Break the curse!

My favorite combination is orange on black. However, I would like to see orange pants in the uniform rotation for the first time. Imagine how great white on orange would look or even orange on orange for prime time games.

Trey Hendrickson will get a sack.
We've been to long from the playoffs but we're glad to be heading back.
Yes the Browns are let loose, (by the Packers) from the noose, that's kept them hanging around.

There used to be a database somewhere you could track each color combination's records of wins and losses, but I can't find it anywhere.. At the time, the last time I saw it anyway orange jersey's were by far the most winning jersey colors..

The really issue here is what color wrist band will Burrow be wearing?

Not true, Faulk; as I wrote, they actually do better all-black than any combination, outside of the oranges.

The all black is a good look. But adding the orange socks is just plain goofy - like they're trying to book end the helmet. Just keep it simple and make it all black, including the socks.

I feel like you're trying to ask something more personal about Burrow than the color of his wrist band.

I must just be remembering the losses then.
I just hope they go orange/black/orange against KC. They're undefeated in that combo.
