If they win the superbowl I don't care if they put a naked Mike Brown with a daisy sticking out of his pecker on the helmets.. I'd prefer they didn't, but winning fixes everything. I can forgive a LOT of nonsense with a superbowl win..

I can maybe see the Bengals wearing the alternate helmet on TNF vs the Dolphins this year.

I remember Akili Smith of all people saying that they needed to change their helmets to the white and black all those years ago too.
I'm gonna break every record they've got. I'm tellin' you right now. I don't know how I'm gonna do it, but it's goin' to get done.

When your team is named after an animal, it makes too much sense to use the animal for the logo.
I think I'd be more ok with the letter if it was a C instead of a B, as it would represent Cincinnati.
That's what CHI and GB do.
Maybe a tiger eye inside of a striped C?

We already have a pro team in town that uses a C. I’m glad they went with the B instead. I’ve listed them out here before, but there’s a ton of teams around the 4 major leagues that use their team name letter over their city in their logo.

Cubs and Bears both use a C, so why not Reds and Bengals?
I just think the B looks dumb.
Maybe it's the font, I don't know.

I liked the cursive B they were rocking for a while.
The blacked out B Taylor had on his hat this past year looked great.

I could definitely be more on board with that cursive B the Bears rocked.
I think the thing I don't like with the Bengals B is it's too blocky.
Maybe if it was in the same font as the numbers on the jersey now.
I like the orange with black stripes inside it more than the full black.

Nitpicking because we knew it was coming and it’s hard to mess it up, but I would have went with white/black and the word bengals instead of the orange b on the front. Love it though! Probably won’t even notice that on game days

Pretty much what we all expected. Now they just need to release the new alternate uniform which should be the current uniform in white/black color rush.

Heh. I was going to type "how many people are going to freak out because of the orange "B" above the facemask".
