BBTV Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 I actually like the vertical pants stripes better than horizontal, even if horizontal makes more sense. But here's the thing - now you could potentially have black stripes (helmet), orange stripes (jersey), and some other color on the pants. I'd prefer if the stripes were black everywhere.

ManillaToad Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 I hope the orange jersey is the primary home uni and the black is a 2-3 games a year thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_DietDrPepper_ Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Could it be they kept the orange yolk on the home? I'm a bit worried for that honestly. That said I like them. Reminds me of the Falcons almost in terms of simplicity. But I'd definitely take that route over whatever the Rams route was. I'm also hoping that the on field uniforms will somehow have shoulder numbers, but I doubt they will, which isn't the best but oh well. It isn't a home run but its a nice triple. I'm excited to see the complete reveal. Follow the NFA, and My Baseball League here: https://ahsports.boardhost.com/index.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldschoolvikings Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Improvement, obviously. It could be a bit of an over correction, in terms of trying to move away from the overly cluttered mess they've been wearing, but as I said recently about the Jags uniform, these days I'm not inclined to complain about an NFL uniform being too simple. I've never liked the concepts I've seen with orange stripes on black, as a general rule. Tigers are orange with black stripes. Not black with orange stripes. My doomed hope would be that they'd just get rid of the black pants entirely. They've shown zero ability to not use them in the worst ways possible. http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OaklandIsBack Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Orange shoulder yoke/sleeves with black stripes for the home and away and a solid orange alternate would be the ideal way to go. Stripes should always be black on an orange base. I also wouldn’t mind plain pants, white for home and away, with black and orange options Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seasaltvanilla Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 If they're going to just do stripes without a yoke on the white jerseys I feel like keeping them black would work...basically turn the current snow tiger color rush into the away. Orange stripes look bad on the mockups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJD7 Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 All signs point to these being legit in my opinionㅡand I'm glad that's the case, because I like them! You can definitely tell that simplifying the current look was the goal, and that was a good goal to have, because that's all the Bengals really need. I imagine the white away will look a little plain, though, presuming the stripes will be black. I'd also be bummed if they actually do end up darkening the orange, I don't really see a need for them to do that. I would have liked to see a bit of a "bolder" font, too, but I'm glad they're at least updating the current version. Overall though, this is honestly about as nice as I could have expected this redesign to go. Thankfully, they seemed to have gone as simple as possible and just focused on the most essential elements of the Bengals brand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish the stripes were more on the sleeves than in between and maybe they could have gone with a more block number font, but these are okay. I still need to see the whites and the pants, though.

Danny the Sheeb Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 "After years of waiting Nothing came And you realize you were looking in Looking in the wrong place" In all seriousness, though, they are better than the last set. No side panels plus no drop shadow is a big plus; but they feel very uninspired, the shoulder stripes are a bit too garish, and the lack of TV numbers is frustrating. I love TV numbers, and there's no reason on Earth not to use them unless maybe you're 2010s Texas A&M. "It is better to have fought and lost than to not have fought at all."

-Akronite- Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Not a big fan of the shape of the stripes. I'll need to see the white to judge overall, but this is fine. Simple, still stripe-focused, avoids the sins of the current set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
