The ‘Alpha Dawg’ helmet will be paired with an all-brown jersey combination and featured in three home games against the Green Bay Packers, Miami Dolphins, and Tennessee Titans, the team announced Wednesday.

“‘Alpha Dawg’ embodies what we set out to be as the Cleveland Browns, the leaders of the pack,” said JW Johnson, Cleveland Browns Executive Vice President and Partner. “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.”

The NFL expanded its uniform policy in 2022 to allow teams a third helmet option, known as ‘alternate color helmets,’ which can be worn with authorized optional uniforms.
