OnWis97 4,690 Posted February 24 I can buy the B as better than yet another cat head. But the leaping tiger was tremendous and should come back. 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe I'm biased cause my favorite team's logo is a C that stands for the team's name, but I don't see anything wrong with that And boring is subjective. Do you find the Cubs logo in your avatar boring? Cause it's not objectively much different from the Bengals' B logo Ummm, so the Cubs call the city of Chicago home? Also, clean/traditional logos are usually undefeated when up against anything created in the mid-2000s. 7 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you find the Cubs logo in your avatar boring? Cause it's not objectively much different from the Bengals' B logo I certainly think a C would be better because it is redundant to use a letter representing the name and then other imagery the name the same time. For the same reason I don’t like the Falcons and Eagle logos that respectively highlight an F and an E. That said, I don’t think the stripes would work very well in a C. Therefore, the B is probably better by default. But then again, they don’t need to use either. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll cry if they go back to the old uniforms and fix those "small" differences. 11 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not something I would care about but I get why some people would feel that way. The redundancy, I mean 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know, what I'm saying is why should it make a difference if they choose the first letter of the team name over the first letter of the city they play in. But @OnWis97 gave me a satisfying answer 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All rebrands are major overhauls, not all major overhauls are rebrands. It's a square/rectangle situation. What the Bengals did to their uniforms in 2004 was absolutely a major overhaul. Same goes for the 2005 Cardinals and 2006 Vikings. 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah you know what, I'm not even sure what the original point I was trying to make is anymore lmao Either way, I'm sure we can both agree that they were due for another rebrand/overhaul and that hopefully it should be better and a bit more timeless/less trendy this time around 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It always drove me crazy that the tiger was looking backwards, and the full tiger was leaping backwards. Same goes for helmet avatars -- they just don't look right facing left. 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The tiger stripes are still featured on the pants and arm stripes. The number are still black or white and outlined in orange. On the black jerseys at least. I do agree that the white jerseys were hit the hardest. When I play Madden, I never dress the Bengals in their away jerseys The major design elements are the same, I wouldn't say it was such a radical departure. If you described the uniform to a blind person without going too much into the details like font and paneling, they would think nothing has changed lol With all due respect, what message board do you think you’re on? 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
