1950 Cleveland Browns

Prior to a rule change for the 1951 season, teams were required to not wear white helmets or white pants for night games due to confusion with the white ball used for such games.
Browns wore very light grey/silver pants shown here.

Note the slight difference shown here in this photo between Marion Motley's pants and the white stripes in his socks.

This link to a blog on Clevelandbrowns.com states that the Browns did wear the silver pants in 1950 only.
