Yea I'm warming up to this Black look.  It's pretty solid.

Dropped my phone in the ice tub. Catch me up on the weekend.

I don't get it.  Am I old?

Nevermind. I get it.  The ice tub thing threw me off. 

I guess the Bengals, who are company, are writing like an individual who dropped their phone in the player's ice tub and missed the jersey leak????

I know I sold like an old man yelling out clouds, but this company social media stuff is so damn lame.

The fonts are kind of similar but not identical. The number is not the same as the numbers we are seeing on the Bengals jerseys.
Also, their nameplate font/formatting has the same bordering as the numbers. The Bengals' jerseys do not.

yea, same thing here in 2021. Some chinese shop just trying to get in early I believe.

To anyone praising these supposed new uniforms, just know that you're being bamboozled, and you have the worst taste known to mankind.

I hope you're right, Frank.  I hope you're right!

Remember, they've already said that the new design would not be unveiled in March.  So that means they were probably a month away at the least.

I'm sure they were/are planning a number of things for the official release.  Obviously professional photos, players moedleing and wearing them, and some social media and marketing behind them (post, videos, etc)

That's all a bit ruined if this are ineed the real deal.  I mean, they can still do all of this, but if they unveil what everybody has now seen it's going to take the wind out of the sails so to speak.

Someone screwed up big time if these are legit.  The Bengals, Nike, the Seller.... take your pick.  Probably a good chance it's some combination of all three.  (Bengal were unrealistic how long they could keep it a secret, Nike let their product get out, or the seller broke some sort of agreement)

If these are indeed the new uni's, if the Bengals are smart they'll push up that release now.  You can't have people waiting an entire month to only unveil the same damn thing they saw weeks ago.

Mikey hired neighborhood kid to wash the Lumina and he thought they were rags.

If these are the ones I at least like the BENGALS above the number more than the stupid B.

I think Font should be changed for numbers.  I think fans will like these uniforms when they see the jersey matched to pants.  The shoulder sleeve is shorter than what I am seeing on ebay i think

To each their own. For me it’s a breath of fresh air. And a lot of it (imo) is actually pretty funny. Which I couldn’t imagine when Mike was running everything.

Two things.

One, the Broncos should sue for stealing their jersey.

Two, I wouldn't say they're for real. As has been mentioned, companies (especially foreign ones) can speculate all they want and get a "jump" on competition.

Three, there's always a chance they are a consideration and the org "leaked" them in a form to gauge reaction. If that's the case, hopefully the first things happens.

Agreed. The new social media presence has been awesome, 1000x better than the crap they used to be. 

In one of those twitter thread someone posted a different black variety. Who know what they will actually end up with, we'll know when the Bengals make it official. I'm sure there are many mock ups. Any of these could be a throwaway from a design they didnt like. But, here is the other black variety, which is probably made by a fan

Have to have white numbers and letters on a black jersey.

I did not know that. Whatever we end up with, Im withholding judgement until I see it on a player with the pants. The player mockups on the ones leaked arent so bad, but they may not even be the ones we use.

Saints, Raiders, Cardinals color rush. And a couple of retired ones are 49ers color rush and the Lions old black alternates. That's just off the top of my head. I'm sure there are more.

Unless you were merely stating your preference then I stand corrected. I disagree but you're entitled to your preference.

That looks super sharp! Would love this jersey with the Bengals' helmet. This would come close to meeting my wish for the Bengals to get an iconic jersey like the Chargers' powder blues,  although not quite match it. I have never bought football jerseys in my life,  but I would make an exception for this one,  even if I wouldn't feel all that great about putting money into Mike Brown's wallet. 

This jersey is simple,  elegant,  but still the right level of flashy and loud for my taste. 

EDIT:
This jersey needs the pants to be less messy looking than the current version that the Bengals sport.

I'll bet they all either had a lighter colored number or the number was outlined in white.


For example, if the Saints had a black color rush jersey then the number would be gold which has a lot more contrast than orange on black.


**EDIT** Upon further review it looks like the Niners did have black jerseys with just red letters/numbers.  So it has been done.

I do agree that if they decided to go this route that a white outline would be needed to effectively pull it off.

Steelers have gold numbers on their black jerseys and the Browns have orange numbers on their dark brown jerseys. Those are color rush so my question is, is the white on black a rule somewhere?

EDIT: nvm. i saw your answer above.
