Lumbergh Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 With all this extra time at home right now, I've taken a crack at a Bengals rebrand. This is at the beginning stages so far but I'm liking the direction it's going. I tried it with a white outline while on a dark backing, but it looks a little better and more modern without it (a la Panthers, Jags). C&C is much appreciated, and uniforms to come soon.

Ridleylash Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 I feel the expression on the tiger's eyes doesn't quite hit the mark, honestly; it doesn't really convey anger or aggression so much as he looks like he just saw something that made him really sad. I'd tweak the eyes slightly, make them look a bit more aggressive. The logo itself is a vast improvement on the current Bengals primary, though.

the_grateful_ted Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 ^Agree with this. Also, I think if you simplified some of the black striping between the eye and the ear it would make that area less busy. Overall though, really like the look!

FFWally Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 I think you've done a nice job of capturing the Bengal; however, it looks like its standing and panting, versus being an aggressive predator it needs to be for this application. The Ohio icon... love it!! The eye needs to have a focus to it that says, I'm hunting, and you are my prey. (cheesy, but not sure how else to say that) That said, a nice start...

Lumbergh Posted March 15, 2020 Author Share Posted March 15, 2020 Thanks for the input sleuthpanther. I will probably simplify the striping as well. Here is an update with the eye fixed, tongue fixed, and the overall shape of the head modified: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blindsay Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 The tiger’s eyes still look depressed. Im an isles,rangers,devils,Sabres,Yankees,Mets,Braves,hawks,knicks,nets,bills,giants,falcons,and jets fan. So? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridleylash Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 The color works great, but the eye itself still looks pretty unaggressive. The upward curve on the upper lid makes it look scared or sad, not angry. Straightening the lid gives it a more aggressive, ferocious look, like this (do excuse my crude MS Paint-fu, I just got a new computer not too long ago); The blue line is what I think would work great; gives it more of an aggressive look, as opposed to the more afraid-looking version you have right now.

turbo72577 Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 I think this is going in a nice direction. Will you make uniforms and a wordmark too? The only thing I would suggest right now is fixing the pupil; big cats have round pupils. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simtek34 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 You need TV Numbers on the Jersey. So you must remove the logo from the Sleeves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MilSox Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Are TV numbers actually necessary nowadays? A few of the XFL teams don't even have them and I don't think it effects the viewing experience. Besides, IIRC, the Bengals were the last team to adopt TV numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little unsure about the font (maybe a change there, plus the addition of TV numbers), but man does the rest of the uniform look sharp. What if you did this style for an orange uniform like they currently have? NYC x STL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lumbergh Posted March 18, 2020 Author Share Posted March 18, 2020 Here's an update. Updated the shoulder striping on the backside, added TV numbers on the sleeves, and attempted an orange alt: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSU151 Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 The jerseys look really good. The logo still needs a lot of work. The strokes are too thin, the face is too wimpy. Not quite NFL-ready. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
