These are all pretty good. The throwback is my least favorite. The all white is my favorite.

You like these but dislike mine? I like the all white and the throwbacks but the black and orange ones are ugly. Haha

I personally really like their current "color rush" uniforms. All the ones above are serious Browns vibes. 

The current color rush are phenomenal. Besides the throwback jersey I don’t see any resemblance to the Browns at all besides the color Orange.

Oh come on Deuce haha let us have some fun. 

Credit to @ninety4feet on Twitter for creating these, but these are without a doubt the best ones I’ve seen. I get the Browns critique that Diablo mentioned but really the only one of these that feels like the Browns is the last one which is a true throwback to what the Bengals original uniforms looked like. The Bengals are really the only team in the league that has never really done a “throwback” and I’d love to see them do it just once. But still these jerseys are the best mock-ups I’ve seen. Combines the old schools 80’s-90’s uniform style which a modern flair. They’re perfect. I just hope the Bengals learned from last year when a lot of teams got new uniforms. The Rams and Falcons got new uniforms and tried to be too cool and they suck. The Chargers just went back to a classic uniform style and they are amazing. I hope the Bengals go the way of the Chargers and just keep it simple like the pictures below. 

Long overdue. I’ve hated the current uniforms since they were introduced in 2004. Simple is better. The helmet is perfect, but just go back to an upgrade version of the 80-early 90’s uniforms is all I want. A new logo would be nice as well because the “B” sucks.

Perhaps this explains why Clemson football players had no problem being served a mountain of McDonalds food rather than steak and lobster during that infamous celebratory dinner a few years back.  

Nah McDonalds isn’t a holy enough place for lil Ole Clemson. They just take up a second collection plate at Newspring Church and slip some bills in the bulletins every Sunday.

Now you know how I feel about UK and OSU fan base. 

Both fanbases 100% have their flaws and probably near the top of teams other fanbases can’t stand. Neither has ever ruined the reputation of a good man and a good football coach for no reason other than they thought they deserved a better coach...

Chris Olave is back for his senior year, there’s our shocker!  Wow!

JA, I think you and I could quarterback Ohio State next year. Haha Olave and Ruckert decide to come back. The number 1 WR in the class 3 years in a row with Wilson, Fleming, and Egbuka. Plus JSN, Jameson Williams, Scott Jr., Marvin Harrison, and Ballard? I mean my lord. This has to be right there with the Bama receiving class from 2 years ago with Ruggs, Jeudy, Smith, and Waddle right? Just an absolute embarrassment of riches for CJ Stroud to throw to.

Let’s not get carried away... 

With regards to college football, I’ve never seen a fanbase given the power that Tennessee’s did when the hired and fired Schiano. To empower wealthy boosters is one thing, but letting Jim Bob from Morristown, TN who hasn’t taken a single class at the University of Tennessee feel like his opinion matters on who the football coach is, is absurd. Tennessee football deserves whatever they have coming to them. 

Fiancée bought us a bunch from Athleta. I love them. Double layered for protection but more breathable than anything else I’ve tried. Only mask I can wear to the gym and not get irritated wearing it. Not really a fan of the neck gaiter. I’d love to be able to wear them because they are way more convenient, but maybe it’s the way my head is shaped or something but they always slide off my nose and I don’t like how the fabric is touching my mouth at all times. Makes it harder to talk while wearing it.

I heard Schiano is not available for the Tenn job now.  He clearly got the last laugh.

Who would’ve thought that after being hired and fired at UT that Greg Schiano would be at a better job... at Rutgers... Yikes.

I’m glad they didn’t hire him! I will take UT any day over UK! 

What does that have to do with anything? The Tennessee fanbase is toxic. It’s becoming the most toxic fanbase in all of sports with Clay Travis as the cult leader.

I like it when they say way to early ranking and they only give you the top 10.  Yea they are tops but I would like to see the top 25 because that is part of the rankings.

The rankings posted in here were just summarized down to the top 10. The actual rankings are top 25.

Everyone cheats! It just seems like the Vols a team I cheer for is getting caught. 

Almost like a fan base that ran Greg Schiano out of town for literally no reason doesn’t deserve to be happy... 

So wait you’re telling me that Tennessee started off the 2021 class hotter than any team in the country in recruiting, they then lost a ton of those recruits and some people were naïve enough to think something fishy wasn’t going on? That’s good Ole Rocky Top for ya...

@GrantNKY Ruckert back, great call by you.  We might have the top TE in the country next year.  That will certainly help a brand new QB.

This was the difference between Alabama and everyone else this past year. They got players to come back. Now we have Ruckert, Mumford, Togiai, Garrett, and Smith coming back. These are all huge and likely means they have seen enough from Stroud to know he can lead them for another playoff run.

That's cool.

One of the names that I thought there might be an outside chance of hearing was that of Marvin Lewis as D-coordinator.  Thought there would be several positives to a hire like that.

Those are the type of guys Urban is trying to get. He’s trying to go after guys that have an established career in the NFL. Raheem Morris is going to be the DC,

So how many coaches does he poach off of Ohio State?

Honestly the one that I'm most afraid of losing is Larry Johnson. 

He isn’t taking any of them with him. Only person he’s taking is Ryan Stamper who runs the real life Wednesday program. 

There is no such thing really as children’s food once you get past the baby food level. I mean chicken nuggets are great at any age. Now I will say if you order chicken nuggets or strips at a normal sit down restaurant you probably need to grow up, but just having some Tyson chicken nuggets in the freezer or getting some fast food chicken nuggets every once in a while is great at any age. I’ll add sugary cereal to the list as well as something traditionally marketed to kids but is great as an adult too.

And in fairness to Saban, it wasn't like he was  fired, he simply left after two ho-hum NFL seasons to coach Alabama. I will never forget how huge of a jerk he was when the Bama rumors started swirling.

Exactly. I have no doubt that Saban would have had success in the NFL if he stayed. I think the lack of control is what ultimately led to him jumping back in to the college game. Saban adapts better than any coach probably ever but it’s not always immediate. People forget that Alabama lost to Louisiana-Monroe his first year in Tuscaloosa. It takes time. Look at the transition from Saban’s early Bama teams that just wouldn’t give up any points but ran a vanilla offense focused on the run. Now this year they may have had the best offense in the history of college football. He adapts and beats you at your own game. Saban hated the RPO when it first got popular. Alabama just torched Ohio State with the RPO. There’s no doubt that with a few more years in the NFL that he would have done that in Miami. Urban isn’t the adapter that Saban is. But that’s not what made Urban successful. Building a culture is what Urban successful. Culture wins in the NFL. Traditionally the teams that are always in contention every year the Patriots, the Steelers, the Ravens, the Packers. They all have a unique and rigid culture that if you don’t fit in, you’re out no matter your talent. Urban can do that so it will be interesting to see if it comes to fruition.

Too intense too work for.

Urban is going to have to tone it down in the NFL. I don’t think there is anyone better at establishing a culture in a locker room than Urban. But he’s going to working with grown men now. Totally different ballgame now. I do say that a lot of the people think that since Saban “failed” in the NFL Urban definitely won’t be able to succeed. But had the Dolphins gotten Brees instead of Dante Culpepper the whole landscape of college football and the NFL could look totally different.

He will lose and then state that he physically cannot so the job.  Not the type of college coach that will succeed in the NFL.

I’m not sure there is a prototype college coach that just automatically would make a good NFL head coach. I’ll admit I’ve never looked at Urban as an NFL coach, but it’s not an exact science so who knows. Urban’s got a huge coaching tree  even at the NFL level already so it will just depend on the staff he puts together.

Gonna be interesting he’s not the easiest to play for.

As hard as he is to play for, he’s even harder to work for. Jacksonville is going to be real interesting. 

I honestly don’t think there is any difference. Costco probably has some better take home food items and a couple unique Kirkland signature items but that’s basically it. We have a Sams Membership and use it all the time. The meat selection has honestly been better than most local grocery stores in my experience. You can usually get 2 USDA Prime Ribeyes at Sams for like $25.
