Classic orange/brown/white combo for Browns so great. I like the Browns in both white or orange pants but I have figured out my preferences. Like the white pants with the brown jersey but prefer the orange pants when wearing white jersey.
Proofreading: “Forsest Hills” should be “Forest Hills.” (Looks like the typo is in my transmittal email, so sorry for that!)
Fixed
More proofreading: the West Branch piece includes a hanging “to honor” at the end of the sentence. That could probably either be deleted or expanded to include the words “the program’s history.”
Got it.
The flag on the back of the University of Vermont hockey jersey isn’t the current state flag, but the Revolutionary-era Green Mountain Boys flag.
