It’s April 1st, the day where bad pranks and jokes run wild on the internet. The Cincinnati Bengals didn’t put too much effort in trying to fool people with their April Fools’ Day shenanigans but they did use the day as an opportunity to make a fairly amusing joke at the Cleveland Browns’ expense.

The Bengals alerted everyone to their prank with this rather obvious April Fools’ tease.

So, what was this brilliant redesign? A mocking take on the Browns’ much-hyped redesign (that was essentially a slight change in the team’s orange) that Cleveland unveiled earlier this year.

Well played Cincinnati. Well played. All divisional rivals should take note and use the day to troll each other.

UPDATE: The Browns were less than pleased.
