Why? The yoke looked terrible on the last uniform and has looked terrible on basically every football uniform ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AgentColon2 Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Tell that to the Brown family. I’ve always said that B exists for their name and not Bengals. They put themselves over the city and over the team nickname. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They put themselves over the city and over the team nickname. That's another reason to switch to a C. I think the stripes simply look better on a B than a C. But I totally agree with the concept that the city initial would be better, all else equal. Disclaimer: If this comment is about an NBA uniform from 2017-2018 or later, do not constitute a lack of acknowledgement of the corporate logo to mean anything other than "the corporate logo is terrible and makes the uniform significantly worse."

Or honestly they could come up with something entirely new. None of the Bengals logos seem particularly tethered to the team identity, they're a team that has never had the logo on their helmets and their identity seems more about the tiger stripes than anything else.

AstroCree Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Nike, if anything, improved the previous Bengals set by having the yoke lineup with each other. Looking at the away uniform specifically, that little tweak made the uniform look decent. Especially since they didn't have the side vents like the home jersey. A rare Nike complement from me.

Absolute shame they didn't keep this as their Away and add a Home built on the same design. The 1-color block numbers, black neckband, and black sleeves made this one of the great uniforms over the past several years. These will still be an upgrade, but the new number font is terrible compared to this traditional block font and the white/orange 2-color setup takes away from the stripes. They could've kept this uniform, switched the "B" to "BENGALS", changed the stripes to orange & black, and added a black jersey with orange or white 1-color numbers and had a terrific, timeless set. And, there's just no need for an Orange Alt whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BJ Sands Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 I wonder if the white jersey has stripes that alternate color, instead of being all three black or all three orange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's an interesting thought. The Packers' yoke does: But is that an essential element of the yoke? Is it even standard? I don't know that enough NFL clubs have ever worn yokes with names for us to establish a real precedent. Yokes are much more common in hockey, and there it seems standard for it to end above the nameplate. So if we're going to use that as a guide, yokes don't necessarily have to cover nameplates. Personally, I think the Packers would have benefitted from a narrower yoke like the Titans wore. And when they inevitably bring back the 1940s throwbacks, I hope they take the opportunity to make that one change. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

With the right combos, those tweaks would make them one of the better designs in the league. I also like the way their colors look with the matte Nike fabrics rather than the shiny Reebok style. Their current design is a total miss. The only aspect I kinda like is the sword style yolk on the shoulders. The rest is rough. I agree except I think the skinny yoke is a far superior look. Makes it feel like a part of the uniform rather than the top half of two uniforms. As far as collars go for Cincy, a normal width contrast makes sense but I'd rather no collar than another giant-thick Nike eye-sore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
