Simplified by changing the shoulder/sleeve and removing the side panel. I like the new ones better but the changes don't match the hype. I’m not sure if you all followed much of the talk from the Bengals or things said in social media. However, it was pretty well known and stated that it wasn’t going to be drastic changes. That it was more going to a simpler sleek type of look. Many fans were asking for uniforms similar to the uniforms of the past. So the Bengals actually listened to many of the fans in regards to the type of look they wanted. Me personally I would have loved to have seen a drastic change, with something that was not expected. However, I knew this wasn’t going to happen. In fact pictures of these jerseys were leaked on social media about a month ago. Which luckily they look much better on the players, than they did ok the hanger with the longer fan jersey sleeves that was leaked a month ago. There is talk of them going with the white tiger striped helmet too at some point, assuming the NFL changes the rules on only one helmet allowed that had been in place since 2013. Plus rumor of eventually bringing out orange pants to make it an orange on orange color rush type deal at some point. So while overall it is a pretty simpler, clean type of look. They at least will have a bunch of combinations out of this. My two favorites currently are the white on white, and the black pants and white jerseys.
April 19, 20215 yr Should've been focusing more on designing a new offensive line instead of new unis....check out the zipper on that knee.

Ocho being there is a concerted effort from the front office to engage with fans and bringing back popular former players for situations like this is huge and is definitely another thing that tells me the Bengals front office is listening. Also that top picture is Tee Higgins.

You can see the differences looking at side by side pictures, but I definitely wouldn't categorize them as "huge." Removing the side panel from the jersey was a good idea. The shoulder change is minimal in the grand scheme, and while I like the change to "Bengals" from the "B" on the chest, I'm not sure the average fan would even notice that.

Maybe it’s me, but there are too many distinct changes that make it super noticeable at first glance. The only combo that wouldn’t immediately stand out would be the the white on white vs the old color rush.

April 19, 20215 yr One of the big things I feel like the Bengals really tried to make sure of with these new uniforms is building the rest of the uniform around the helmet. When you wear that helmet which is undeniably the most bold helmet choice in the league, everything else needs to be really understated to highlight the helmet. The new look accomplishes that 100% in my mind. Contrast that with the look they’ve had since 2004 with a ton of contrasting colors, bold fonts, and distracting design elements. The helmet is back to being the main focal point for the jersey and that’s important. The more I see the new uniforms the more I love them. Now once the NFL gets rid of the ridiculous one helmet color thing and we can get some white Tiger helmets then we’ll really be in business.

I wish he had been able to produce two more quality seasons. That would have made him top 20 all time in the NFL and put him into serious Hall of Fame consideration.

The HOF ought to create a wing just for performers like Chad, Deion and Billy White Shoes who brought joy to the game and the fans through their touchdown celebrations.

The "Paul Brown" signature on the back is pretty cool. The stripes look more natural (like a tiger) with the color blocks gone. These uniforms plus a great draft later this month will help them perform better as a team!??? I like it, but I think the location makes it relatively pointless...

April 20, 20215 yr I like them, but they aren't different enough that I am wowed. Doesn't make me want to run out an replace the one jersey I have and hardly wear.
