CLEVELAND — After the Odell Beckham Jr. trade, Cleveland Browns fans are asking for verification to prove that you are a true fan.
Cleveland sports fan McNeil started the trend by having fans tweet out pictures of them wearing Browns gear before the team got cool to prove that you aren't jumping on the bandwagon.
Some twitter users reminisced living through the dark era that was Johnny Football.

Others showed themselves combining the Browns with guns because apparently that was a thing.

Browns fans showed their support through thick and thin.
Been a Browns fan since the 70's. Here in Minneapolis in 2013 with my daughter, and family and friends. Our family has been season ticket holders since 70's. This was the last year of the Metrodome, Browns won 31-27 in the final minute. "Here we go Brownies, Here we go!!!! pic.twitter.com/ncWJF344am

At the end of the day, if you weren't a Browns fan before Wednesday, you'll need to jump on this bandwagon.
