Again, why on earth are they wearing black at home on a hot opening day? Dumbasses

Apparently, the B logo is the longest-tenured logo in team history.
It's been the official logo since 2004 (although they still used the tiger head also). This will be the 17th season.
The next longest-tenured logo is the helmet with "Bengals" on the side, which was 11 seasons.



IMO the B is the worst logo in franchise history.

Yep, as I feared. Whoever is in charge of the uniforms (I’m guessing someone in the PR department) has completely dropped the ball again. And two color rush appearances and only one orange game? Come on now...

Judging by the comments on Twitter, the vast majority are upset about the color rush unis taking over for the orange alternates.

Ah well, at least the helmets don’t suck

It's already getting into the high teens at most up here (Celsius, not Farenheit) so I thought, "why is everyone complaining about the heat again?"

(checks Weather on Sunday)

WOW, you guys are still super warm!

It is supposed to rain though, according to the forecast (and sun/cloud); if that's the case, black doesn't seem as bad. Also, the temps should drop a bit by the time the game starts and there's a 10 km/h breeze that's supposed to be blowing (with 20 km/h gusts), so it doesn't appear to be a repeat of the 9ers game (which was 5 degrees warmer, 0 clouds, super high humidex and no wind at all).

Brother, if you played, and wore black, 82 degrees is still hotter than hell.  Looks like we will already be losing the cramp war.  Stupid.

Our Color Rush uniforms completely lack color.

I agree it's less than ideal (I would LOVE for them to wear Orange twice and for the HO).

Just saying it won't be the same as last year

Reminds me of the "great" 2002 season.  Think it was the first home game of the year, and we were playing San Diego. It was hot.  I mean stinking hot, like an air temp of 96, sunny and zero breeze.  We were all just sitting there with sweat rolling off of us.  And, being the home team we got to make SD wear their navy jerseys.  A buddy and I were at the game and were talking about how we'd wear them down in the heat.


Think we lost 37-10 or something.  White jerseys only get you so far.

Idk how anyone could prefer those first two (or the leaping tiger)...

I'll confess, if we are talking about the white and black? I love those. Have my AJ Green jersey in color rush.

Seriously want to see the white and black helmets to go with those color rush...

Would be sweet!!!

Our players should be used to it. We open on the road every damn year, and the smart teams make us wear black. I don't think any of our guys have played opening weekend in Cincinnati before... Maybe Kevin Huber.

Yeah. We're only wearing them once, and it's the Monday night game against the Steelers.

I wasn't a big Marvin fan but I completely agree with him on uniform color.  it doesn't matter.  If it's hot it's hot in black, white, orange, whatever.

People act like those teams that wear white uniforms in the heat win more than those that wear dark colors.  The bottom line is the best team wins.  The one wearing a more reflective color does not win any more often than the one across the field.

Suck it up and play the game.

As I said before I don't really pay a lot of attention to the uniforms, but I wonder why we never seem to wear the orange jerseys with black pants.
