https://www.bengals.com/history/white-bengal Is this really all we’re getting today?

That white helmet with orange stripes to match the white pants might work if they put the black trim on the helmet stripes too. At least it would match and those weird clownfish pant stripes wouldn’t feel so out of place.

I'm gonna go ahead and predict the rest of the Texans schedule. The ones in bold I think are a lock: 1 vs. IND blue/white vs. white/white 2 at DEN white/navy vs. orange/white 3 at CHI white/navy vs. navy/white 4 vs. LAC white/white vs. navy/white 5 @ JAC white/navy vs. teal/black 7 @LV white/navy vs. black/silver 8 vs. TEN white/white vs. navy/white 9 vs. PHI white/black vs. red/white (really hope the Eagles wear green pants here) 10 @NYG white/navy vs. blue/white 11 vs. WAS white/white vs. navy/white 12 at MIA white/navy vs. aqua/white (I am hopeful the Fins wear aqua at this point like they've done before last season) 13 vs. CLE white/brown at navy/white 14 at DAL navy/navy vs. white/mint (Just have a feeling they spice things up here as some teams have done in Dallas before) 15 vs. KC white/red vs. navy Color Rush (with the red and white being worn in the first half of the season, the Color Rush will likely be toward the end of the season) 16 at TEN white/navy vs. Columbia/navy 17 vs. JAC white/black vs. navy/white (would love to see the teal pants here) 18 at IND white/navy vs. blue/white

It really is ridiculous when teams do this. I wish they could've worn them a week earlier against Tennessee and spared us of another one of these abominations:

That red helmet would look awesome with the navy or Color Rush navy jersey. But I presume it will be paired with the battle red jersey and white pants and they'll look just like the Chiefs. I hate this new rule outside of throwback uniforms. Color balance will likely continue to be ruined. And against the Eagles again. Really? At least it's not against the Colts for a third straight season.

At Philly Week 2 will be a white game. I think Week 10 could be a throwback game for Buffalo, but they could also wear blue. They wore white vs. Minnesota last meeting in 2014, so hopefully it's blue.

I think the Saints always wear gold pants in the preseason with either jersey. Broncos in white at home would be something.

You may have nailed all three orange jersey games. I just hope it’s against some other teams. We’ve already seen the orange against all of those teams in recent seasons. (MIA 2018), (KC 2015,2021), BUF (2017). They wore orange against Carolina in 2014 too, so I guess there isn’t much left besides ATL and BAL on their schedule in terms of new possibilities. And as you said, they always wear black against the Ravens for some reason.

It would be awesome if they somehow wore them for the home opener against Baltimore with the Ravens in purple pants, but the stars would need to align for both of those things to happen.

I don't think it has anything to do with the Lions. More of a Thanksgiving thing and that's who their opponent happened to be. Still possible it can be worn then1

The question now becomes what game(s) will they wear these for? When they were last around, the Pats always seemed to wear them against the Jets.

What does a black helmet do for the Jets or Eagles exactly? The green helmet gets lost anyway with such poor contrast. Might as well leave an additional speck of your ACTUAL team color. I will say, some of these work better than expected (Cardinals, maybe Bills), but some are just destroying color balance (Texans, Bears, Titans). That Bears look is especially pitiful without the navy helmet.

Perhaps you’ll think again once you realize the rebrand would be an over-designed all green look, all white look, and all black look.

The Saints have arguably the best Color Rush look in the league, and they somehow find a way to ruin it? I just can't wrap my head around why the league is allowing and encouraging this watering down of brands. yeah, it's just a game (or almost definitely two) but why is this necessary? Such a slippery slope, and while they at least are avoiding all black or all white, most teams will likely not take this approach.

Nope. It works for them, but the point is that there don’t seem to be any rules restricting teams from doing whatever they want, which in other cases might not work so nicely.

By this logic, pretty much any team could introduce an all-black “Color Rush” look even if black isn’t in their scheme. The league hasn’t made any effort to discourage this pathetic trend in any way, so keep expecting teams to do it. Look at the Chargers, for instance. Navy and royal aren’t anywhere on their home or away uniform, yet both of these colors are featured as “Color Rush” looks.

So basically lots of teams will be ruining decent looks and destroying any form of color balance in favor of monochromatic looks? Wooohooo!

Is this a typo? I agree with a lot of your other predictions, although I could definitely see one of the Saints games being a pewter game.

Didn't want to quote the whole thing, but here are some of my thoughts regarding WAH predictions, sort of going off of the above post: I think the Jets will do it Week 1 vs. Baltimore since they did for their home openers each of the past two seasons. Could do it again Week 3 vs. CIN, in October, or not a second time at all. Bears also wore throwback white in October last season vs. Green Bay. Could happen any week really. Hopeful that Carolina wears blue or black for that Week 4 late afternoon game. Saints wore Color Rush at home three times last season. I would expect it at least once in the Superdome, not just for the London game. I think the Rams definitely wear white over yellow for the season opener rather than Week 2 vs. Atlanta. They could also appear against Dallas, but I think it's possible they save them for later in the season for another home game. Bucs realistically might only wear it in Week 3 and Week 5 based on their allotment of late kickoffs. Jags will likely only do it for Week 2. They come back home in Week 5, which is when teal started in 2021. Titans is interesting with that late afternoon Week 1 kickoff. I think we could see light blue there or in Week 3 vs. Vegas. Miami will hopefully start to wear aqua in Week 10 or 12 vs. CLE/HOU. Atlanta is anyone's guess. Would love to see it in Week 1 because it would likely mean Saints in black over gold.

I don't think that is the case, unfortunately. The team has yet to post any image or clip of a player in the white jersey with anything with but white pants.

Like the Falcons situation, it's unclear if this means Washington will wear black more than once or if Week 9 will be the lone time. It is right in the middle of the season, so I guess it's possible, but I wouldn't be shocked to see it again in December.

Teams don’t seem to put too much thought into Media Day. The Titans still use navy over white, which they have yet to wear more than once a season or in their home stadium.

I would say this is quite convincing, considering they took the time to edit four players into this specific uniform combination. Still can't believe they omitted stripes on the pants just so that they could rock the all-white pajama look that looks awful on every team.

Plus, they always release a full uniform schedule and probably wanted to save the other date for that. The fact that they only wore the gradient once last season and for a London game tells me they don't think too highly of it. I don't seem them wearing it twice, whereas, with how much they're hyping up this red helmet, I don't see why they would only wear it one time.

First official announcement: Falcons are wearing throwbacks with red helmets Week 6 against San Francisco. Glad it is officially back, but does this mean they will also wear throwback once with the black helmet? Or will they wear the gradient twice or maybe only use two of the three throwback opportunities?
