    For those of you that hate the new Chicago helmets: do you also hate Houston, Cinci, Carolina (if it had silver/white), and New Orleans (if it didn't have Seahawks stripe)?

     

    I think it's weird that Cinci's seem to be positively received while Chicago is basically doing the same thing.  Maybe the argument is that Chicago has too much history to alter?  Or that using white as a base alt is less "out there" than orange?  Personally I don't think I like any of them; just trying to understand why the Bengals got a pass.  Maybe I could accept Bengals if it still had SOME orange in the helmet.  IMO the Bears are a navy team with orange trim and the Bengals are an orange team with black trim.  To me Houston and Carolina are less problematic since their schemes are more balanced (navy/red, black/silver/blue).

     

    I think there's a couple factors in play here. Bengals away uniform is pretty much their white color rush uniforms with the lack of orange in it. Their new white helmet helps complete the white tiger look it seems they were aiming for. It makes the uniform better.

     

    Regardless of everyone's opinion about Chicago's orange jersey, I think most would agree that the orange helmet makes the overall alternate uniform look worse, not better.

     

    Then there's the history side of it. Chicago's uniforms are iconic and the orange helmet means the Bears are a step or two away from meddling with their classic home/away uniform. 

     

    Just my 2 cents but I think people were more receptive of Carolina and Houston because many believe both of those teams need new uniforms.

  2. Some predictions for Cincinnati this year

     

    Wk 1 vs Pittsburgh - White jersey/White pants

    Wk2 @ Dallas - Black jersey/White pants

    Wk 4 vs Miami (TNF) - Orange jersey/white pants. Bengals typically wear orange for one of the October home games. I considered the Atlanta game in Wk7 but I'll go with Wk4 since it's a primetime game.

    Wk 13 vs KC - Orange jersey/black pants

    Wk 17 vs Buffalo (MNF) - Orange jersey/black pants

    Wk 18 vs Baltimore - Black jersey/black pants. This seems to be the combo for every home game vs Baltimore, I don't see it changing this year.

    The Patriots’ current uniforms are almost perfect. They just need to go silver pants at home instead of monochrome:

    But since they insist on COLOR RUSH 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 , or maybe because Robert Kraft or someone in the organization has bad taste, they look incredibly dumb in their primary uniform.

     

    So for now I will just sit back and enjoy the Patriots sucking at both football and aesthetics.

     

    Am I the only one who thinks the shoulder stripes on the away jersey stick out like a sore thumb? It feels like the shoulder stripes on the away jersey was copy and pasted from another uniform.
