Cleveland Browns get creative for World Emoji Day

We’ve seen some creative posts from the Cleveland Browns social media team before, but they took things a step further for World Emoji Day.

The social media departments of NFL teams have been getting more and more entertaining in recent years. Teams have been having fun on sites like Twitter, and the fans have certainly benefited.

No, fans are aren’t going to mistake the Browns for a playoff team or contender in 2017. However, this is a team with more hope looking ahead to next season and beyond than they have in years past. Their plan is starting to take form, and the talent is starting to pour in.

As for now, though, we’ll take player portraits made out of emojis (or LEGOs, or many other things). If that’s what it takes to get us through the home stretch until the preseason arrives, we’ll take it.
