The Cleveland Browns wore a helmet decal during Thursday night’s Hall of Fame Game against the New York Jets in honor of former running back Jim Brown, who passed away in May at the age of 87.
Arguably the greatest running back of all time, Brown rushed for a franchise-record 12,312 yards and 106 touchdowns during his nine-year career, which spanned from 1957-65.
He earned first-team All-Pro honors eight times, was a three-time league MVP, led the Browns to their most recent NFL Championship in 1964 and was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1971.
The circular decal features Brown’s No. 32 in white block numbers against a brown background, matching Cleveland’s uniform design during his playing days.
It’s unclear if the Browns plan to wear the decal for the entire season or if it was a one-time occurrence, as the NFL notably held a memorial service for Brown on Thursday.
