The Cleveland orchestra had some fun with the Browns’ new logo, unveiling a ‘new logo’ of their own

After months of hyping it, the Cleveland Browns unveiled their new logo on Feb. 24. As is customary for the NFL’s saddest franchise (give or take the Jaguars), it turned them into a laughingstock, as the “new logo” was pretty much the old logo.

It’s been five weeks, but the “Browns’ new logo” jokes keep coming. That went double on April Fools’ Day.

First we got the Cincinnati Bengals making fun of their cross-state rivals by revealing a “new logo.” Then, closer to home, the Cleveland orchestra joined the fray, poking fun of their town’s football team with a twitter “reveal” of a new logo for 2015.

Ya burnt, Browns!

The “reflective of today’s modern Cleveland” bit is directly from the Browns’ unveiling of their new logo. It sounds every bit as ridiculous here as it did there; the good news is that the orchestra, at least, is trying to have fun. The Browns were completely serious; they literally want you to believe that some shades of orange represent Cleveland better than others.

Who would have thought that the city’s football team would come off as out of touch, while the orchestra makes fun of them on social media?

The Browns had no response to this or any of the other public criticism of the new logo absurdity. They might be hoping at this point that people will just forget they exist after a while, kind of like the Jaguars. (I’d say “sorry, Jaguars fans,” but like the Loch Ness Monster, I’ll believe they exist when I see them).

It takes a lot to take a season in which the team held sole possession of first place in their division for the first time in 20 years, and ended up with their best record since 2007, and still come out of it looking sadder than they did before. Luckily, the Browns were more than up to the challenge. The quarterback’s in rehab (and looked like an undrafted rookie when he did play), the wide receiver’s been suspended for the year, and the GM has also been suspended for sending texts to the sidelines. Plus, there’s the rumor that owner Jimmy Haslam wants to trade for the Tennessee Titans. Not trade up in the draft with the Titans. Trade his entire team for the Titans.

Your Cleveland Browns, everybody!
