Sec19Row53 Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 I just got home from the af2 game between the Green Bay Blizzard and the Cincinnati Jungle Kats. This is Cincinnati's first year in existence, and they had started the year off with plain white helmets with a black facemask.Well, they've added a design to the helmet, and I believe they're the first team to ever incorporate a design element into the front bumper. I can see how this may get picked at by designers (and I'm curious for opinions on it), but in person, it was WOW! It's where I sit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GFB Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 Not as bad as I would have thought - though it would be 100 times better if they took off the face and just left those bengal stripes.Still, I give it a 2 out of 10...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiddySicks Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 Full black and white color scheme. Yup, thats a thing of beauty. On 11/19/2012 at 7:23 PM, oldschoolvikings said: She’s still half convinced “Chris Creamer” is a porn site.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andysoccer12 Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 Very creative, I really like these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joely Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 I like - though the black/white colour scheme is more reminiscent of a Siberian tiger, than a "jungle kat", but never mind!One improvement (maybe) would be to add a open mouth around the face of the helmet (a la Gladiator) - akin to a hockey goalie mask...

Jezus_Ghoti Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 The stripes on the sleeves don't look the least bit "tigery." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iowahoo Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 Well, they've added a design to the helmet, and I believe they're the first team to ever incorporate a design element into the front bumper. Off of the top of my head I can think of two teams that have had designs on the front of the helmet - Wisconsin in the 60s, they wore the throwbacks two years ago with the W on the front and Miami University had an indian guy with a tomahawk on the front of their helmets as well.

Gothamite Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 I think he's referring to the teeth on the bumper itself, not just the front-of-helmet design. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sodboy13 Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 I look at the sleeves on those unis and I can't help but think, "Needs less stripes."

Brian in Boston Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 Asinine name? Check!Bland color scheme? Check!Primary logo that appears to have been stolen from EASports' Madden NFL "Create-A-Team" feature? Check!Absolutely hideous helmet and uniform design? Check and check!Given that the Jungle Kats boast an on-field record of 1-and-6, I do find it apropos that the tiger face on their helmets features eyes rolling back in it's head.

Broken Record Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 I suppose it's true. Black and white can be just as gaudy and outlandish as color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruColor Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 They're not JUST Black and White, but now I have to find the Pantone color for that Light Blue in the "eyes": Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cappital92 Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 They're not JUST Black and White, but now I have to find the Pantone color for that Light Blue in the "eyes":They should change their name to the Cincinnati Grayscale. http://www.wizardsxtra.com Is it the shoes?

leedsunited Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 I don't think you could come up with a WORSE uniform, even if you tried.Gimmicky helmet, boring color scheme, cheap shoulder striping, ridiculous number font.And the ol' Iowa Barnstormers utilized the front of the helmet with their logo (wraparound flight goggles), and that was 100x better looking.

MisterE Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 I just looked the team up and found out they are owned by the Bengals' Sam Adams, Ken Griffey Jr, and the Reds medical director. Get Ron Santo in the Hall of Fame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
