BEREA, OH — After existing as a known sports entity for over 80 years, the Cleveland Browns embarrassingly admitted that they had only recently come to the sudden realization that they had forgotten to put a logo on their helmets this whole time.
The organization, which was founded in 1944 before joining the NFL in 1950, had come to be identified by sports fans by what was believed to be a logo featuring a plain, orange football helmet, which it really no logo at all. According to reports, team officials suddenly discovered this oversight this week.
“We’ve been so busy fielding losing teams that we forgot about coming up with a logo,” said Browns President David Jenkins. “Honestly, that’s the way things were when I got here, so I just assumed everyone wanted it this way. I know most teams have actual logos of stylized letters or animals, but we just have an orange helmet. Which, now that I say it out loud, doesn’t even make sense if our name is the ‘Browns.’ It’s all a little embarrassing, to be honest.”
According to head coach Kevin Stefanski, the team’s lack of a logo went entirely unnoticed by the staff until this week. “It just hit us during film study,” Stefanski told reporters. “Someone saw a photo in the hallway of the team’s 1999 opening game and said, ‘Hey, why is there nothing on our helmets?’ We all just stared at each other. Then we checked the current helmets. Still nothing. We’ve been playing games this whole time without noticing it.”
At publishing time, the Browns announced that they had officially added a picture of an orange football helmet to the side of their orange football helmets.
Congress is preparing to make some big changes!
