oldschoolvikings Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Here's an attempt at giving the Cincinnati Bengals a badly needed update. I wanted to simplify, at least a little, but not too much. IMO the Bengals are one of the NFL teams that should look a little cutting edge. However, I think a lot of us would agree their current look is way too cluttered. Anyway, thoughts are appreciated, as always. http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuordr Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 They should be wearing these today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockey week Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Plain and simple: It's genius.It's the "contained tiger stripes" of the 90s, on the template of the current unis, and cleaned up considerably. Frankly, I'm amazed nobody has done this before. I'll respect any opinion that you can defend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raysfan12 Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 This is what the Bengals should be wearing instead of their current mess of a uniform. Perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalktoChuck Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 I'm not a big fan of the number font, but everything else looks great. When you have something as visually dominating as tiger stripes (or lightning bolts for that matter) its better to stick with a standard font, so the two elements are competing for attention.

Midway Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 OSV, it'd be great to see some action templates of your work. As separate elements these uniforms parts look great, but I can't help but feel it would be actually be a very top heavy set once it all comes together.

Maybe I'll try to update it.Just out of curriosity, what makes you think this would be top heavy? I mean moreso than any uniform with dark jersey/helmet over white pants? http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattb6 Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Wow, it looks great. Way better than the dropshadowed, mangle of bengal stripes. Nice Job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackieMoon Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Personally, I would like to see the Bengals get away from the shoulder stuff (like the current white jerseys). I do like how you got rid of the side stripes. They just need something simple like they had in the 80's and 90's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
