You may recall, a few months back the Cleveland Browns introduced their new logo and colors which were essentially exactly what they had.
Yes, the new Cleveland Browns helmets were a different shade of orange and there were some other minimal changes, but to the naked eye you probably wouldn’t have even noticed the changes had the football team not announced them.
Now the Cincinnati Bengals, the Browns in-state rivals, decided to poke fun at their fellow Ohio native by suggesting they too were going to change their helmet, uniform and logo.
And they did just that….

Part of me can’t help but chuckle at this considering it’s a pretty good roast job on the part of the Cincinnati Bengals. I mean, people couldn’t help but laugh at the Browns when they released all their new football gear and now that their rival decided to poke fun at them? Pretty smooth.
Of course, it was also the easiest thing to make fun of so the Bengals get a mild deduction there, but overall it was a pretty good trolling of the Cleveland Browns on part of the Cincinnati Bengals.
