This little rabbit went to market… at least, that’s what some people saw when they tuned in to catch the game between Cleveland Browns and Green Bay Packers on Christmas day.
While sporting fans might have perceived the Cleveland Browns logo to be just as it always was, the way parts of the symbol were cut off in Fox Sports’ scorestrip—coupled with how the graphic blended into the background—led to others viewing it as a rabbit.
Social media erupted with not just one but numerous sightings of a critter pushing a grocery cart, walker, or chair.
Christmas thoughts by Megan: At first I was like "WTF is that on the score bug for the Browns? A rabbit using a walker?" and then realized that the helmet blends into the background color. Though, rabbit using a walker is close maybe. *lifts glass* pic.twitter.com/kHRWtCADGt
Considering what day it was, viewers could have either had their beer goggles on or weren’t that familiar with the Cleveland Browns branding. The warped perception has since taken hold of the minds of fans, who are having a hard time unseeing the rabbit.
My daughter just walked into the room, looked at the TV and asked why the #Browns logo was a bunny and now I can’t unsee it… pic.twitter.com/NvDRpuk28w
