Saintsfan Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 Well given that the most concrete thing on the thread says that they will only be minor changes I am not getting at all excited about this. 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_cynic Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 I'm just ready for a whole new look for the Bengales. I like their current logo but I hate those tiger stripe uniforms.

Avenger Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 I like the current uniforms, and I'm a little skeptical about prospect of the silver, but if they emphasize their kick-ass logo, that'll be a plus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puckguy14 Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 I hope this isn't true and they just adjust the numerals a little. These unis were the first in breaking the mold of the basic NFL uniforms. Sad to see them go. BTW, on the Fanhome board, I noticed someone suggested that the Chargers get rid of their "XFL style" bolt.

Saintsfan Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 I am thinking somne added accents or a change to the trimming on the collar or something like that, nothing earth shattering. And I did find the tone of the discussion they were having on this fairly lame to be honest!! 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STL FANATIC Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 They need not change. There are plenty of things they can do and still be good, but I'm not counting on those things to happen. This sucks their jerseys are awesome. I wonder if they are doing this because they now have increased interest.

Avenger Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 Honestly, the only thing that I would change would be matching their numerals to the wordmark's typeface. It wouldn't be that different, but IMO, their white jerseys are some of the best in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian in Boston Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 Ironically, I'm currently working with a graphic designer and some fellow alumni from my high school on a project which will update our alma mater's athletic identity package. We're the Tigers, and one of the things that we're thinking of doing is adding a bit of Silver to the current Black/Orange/White color scheme. The reason is that the community is often referred to as "The Silver City".Brian in Boston Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paynomind Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 Pantone, when I saw the link highlighted in your post, I thought you has a pic of them. When I saw fanhome, i was overcome by a hot-panicy feeling, like i was cheating on creamer boards. NCFA Sunset Beach Tech - Octopi ΓΔΒ!

VandyDelphia Mike Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 We've been discussing this for two days over on the lame-o FanHome board:They still have a board? I don't really get why the FanHome board has to be bashed. Do we have a bunch of elitists here or what? I'd like to believe both communities can co-exist without anyone feeling "dirty" for having visited one versus the other ...Anyway, back to the topic at hand, I tend to think that the Bengals could use a slight modification to what they have. When they went to having the leaping bengal on the sleeves, that led to having what I felt was "too much" on one uniform. TV numbers, bengal print shoulder stripes, AND a logo? That doesn't strike anyone as busy?Here's what I'd like to see happen: removing either the shoulder stripes or the logo from the current look (guess you can't remove the TV numbers), going to something different from your standard-issue block number font, to something else, so long as it doesn't look like the Titans or the Falcons' numbers, and no silver, although that seems inevitable. We saw what happened when the Flyers forced silver into their orange & black scheme with their alternates.

STL FANATIC Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 I agree, no silver. Though, BiB, you guys have a good reason, just don't force it. For the Bengals I still say no.As for looking busy, I really don't think so. I'd say they near perfection with their look. NEVER change that helmet either.

Brian in Boston Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 Yeah... I really thought the addition of the leaping tiger to the sleeves was the perfect finishing touch for the Bengals' uniforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CZzyzx41 Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 I think the Bengals will keep their helmets just as they are.The shoulder stripes will go. I think they're tacky. So they'll have classic black and white jerseys with simple striping. Perhaps that tiger stripe design maybe an inch up the sleeve. I also predict unique new numbers with black and orange double outlines on the home unis and white and orange on the road unis. -DanielCheck Out My Podcast!

Blue Falcon Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 I think adding orange pants to the unis would look good, and keep the black pants as an alternate. Maybe an orange alternate jersey would look cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I my preference is for fairly minor changes just to keep a great uni looking sharp. 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yh Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 I'm guessing the helmet stays put, they change the font for the numbers and add a silver drop shadow and perhaps a silver outline for the sleeve logos. Orange black and silver can work together on a football uniform - the USFL's Houston Gamblers had great looking uniforms (although that orange skewed closer to red), but they had black helmets and I don't see the Bengals going in that direction. For some strange reason, I have confidence they won't bungle this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philly97flyer Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 the only change they should make is take the full tiger logo off the sleeves and instead use the logo of just the tiger head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
