I, the exact person all of this is for, would've watched an hour long video detailing their uniform history on twitter. Fair. And I probably would have too. But most people probably feel anything more than a few minutes is a little too long for twitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have you hooked the moment they mention uniforms, so it doesn't matter if the video is 10 seconds or 10 minutes. However, most people saw it was seven minutes long and skipped to the end. The social media video should have been a small portion of that with the full video posted on their YouTube page or homepage, where people like you can watch it in its entirety and they can monetize the page views.

sonny Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Great video, but nerds like us were probably quick to think about the year before the Bengals switched to the still current uniforms, Marvin Lewis introduced black pants, worn twice, on the first and last day of that season. https://images.app.goo.gl/7uqGz2wKzUiHrpbXA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darthjocan Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 In a podcast interview with Dan Hoard, Director of Strategy & Engagement Elizabeth Blackburn brought out some good information: 3 jerseys, 3 pants for 9 possible combinations Throwbacks could happen in the future They thought about modernizing the helmets, but decided against it. Also just some general insight to the design process for NFL uniforms. I thought it was good information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KittSmith_95 Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Throwbacks hopefully means to the original set, which could be why they kept the old helmets. But 9 combinations has me intrigued and hoping the look isn't too busy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sport Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 That probably confirms orange pants will be part of the new set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthjocan Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 I'm absolutely okay with orange pants. Just don't pair them with the orange jersey and they'll be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the same light color - dark color - light color - dark color construction we're so used to in football. I don't think I'll like all-orange, but I understand it'll happen probably once a season. They'll definitely wear orange tops over black pants, which YUCK.

dont care Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 The video really emphasized the white tiger color rush unis, making me think based on the leaks already the white jersey will be all white with black stripes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure exactly how you're defining "original" in this case, but the Bengals helmets come with the convenience of throwing back both to the early '80s tiger striped set as well as the original 70s plain set. Just remove the stripes, slap the arched Bengals wordmark on there, and you're done. I believe there was even a brief period in the late '70s where they added the black face mask to the original Paul Brown look. UPDATE: Confirmed, though I only think they wore the black face masks for the 1980 season, right before the switch to tiger stripes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stripes are a black shell that is painted over with orange after being blocked off. It's not a case of pulling off the stripes and slapping the wordmark on both sides.

If the Bengals have stripes AND wordmarks available this year, then the two shell rule is good to go. Otherwise the one helmet rule is still in affect. You don't want to slap extra layers of paint on a helmet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
