Being a Cleveland Browns fan isn't the easiest thing to do when your team isn't exactly winning Super Bowl rings. However, the Cleveland Browns fan base is a very dedicated group, sticking by their team season after season, hoping, sometimes praying, that each game will be better than the last.
These loyal fans are known as the Browns Backers, and they have multiple chapters around the world. This special group (Yes, I am a member!) is always proud of the Browns, no matter what the season brings. Sure, the current QB position was posted on Craigslist, and our stadium has been nicknamed "The Factory of Sadness". But we don’t let that kill our spirit.
This deep loyalty inspired me to create a tailgating kit for the Browns’ Backers. It includes a tailgating rule book, team gear, a cornhole kit, and a specialized brew, to help fans prepare for the roller coaster ride of emotions that come with every game.
Logo Design
The concept of this logo plays off the fact that last season, former Browns kicker, Phil Dawson, was the only one scoring points for the Browns with his field goals for the first five games of the season. In many ways, Dawson, was a sign of hope for many fans, knowing he could pull through and at least score for the Browns.
The 12 Commandments of Brown Backers Tailgating at Muni
"The 12 Commandments of Brown Backers Tailgating at Muni" is a pocket book Backers would pass out at Muni Lot, where many fans tailgate before each game, becoming the Bible of tailgating for Backers.
Backers Gear
Backers Gear consists of shirts, hats and koozies that fans can wear to show their Browns pride.
Cornhole Kit
Because we all know that cornhole is the only way to past the time before heading into the staduim.
Brown Backers Brew
The perfect drink to have for every occasion, from when the Browns can't get the win to drink away the pain, from the celebratory drink for when they do!
Let's Go Browns!
