Players in the "wrong" uniforms

That uniform fits the bland, wordmark helmet IMO. 

 

However, I think the 1981 set is beautiful and much more evocative of a bengal tiger theme.

At this point, looking at the 1981 jerseys, a best case scenario would be make the shoulder caps(let's not kid ourselves, they're not sleeves) tiger pattern and the numbers on the shoulder. 

 

Keep the rest the same and you'll have a fantastic modern Bengals jersey.

Hard to argue the iconic nature of the 1981 unis, they were cutting edge at the time they were unveiled.  That said, while I think the original uniforms were bland and definitely similar to the Cleveland Browns, I just dig that original helmet with that simple black font outlined in white.  "BENGALS".  I even bought a mini helmet of that version and I'm not even a Bengals fan. 

 

But there's no turning back, the tiger stripe helmets are awesome and has withstood the test of time.  

It's kind of cool how simple that helmet is, but also kind of lame once you realize the myriad design possibilities that the name "Bengals" gives you. One of the initial helmets Paul Brown was given to look at was similar to what the team adopted in '81; kinda sad he went so plain.
