Then maybe this thread isn't for you.
Everything in this post is my fault.

Thanks for that PDub, sounds great. Looking forward to seeing them and I’m also a Blackburn fan.
May be the family is finally moving out of the Industrial Age.

Today I learned that PDub80 is in fact Elizabeth Blackburn.
You almost had me, Elizabeth. I thought the first 90% of the post was just an authentic and ethusiastic fan, but you got greedy. Nobody talks about uniforms this way unless they're the ones trying to sell them.
Shame on you.
PS Will you please tell your grandpa to fire Duke Tobin if we don't make the playoffs this year?

What in god’s name is the point of this post? This is a jersey thread. If you don’t care about the jerseys, don’t click the thread. Pretty simple.

So they decided to reveal the new uniforms to the fans when everyone is at school or work.... fail. That being said, I’m excited for the new unis, but let’s have a reveal event on the weekend so more people can be included in the ACTUAL reveal and not see it posted on Twitter 3 hours later on their lunch break. It just makes sense.

PDub started a thread to give folks some insight on the new jerseys, but another poster decided to act turdish

OP, sounds awesome and glad you had a good time. Maybe you can share more details of how the event played out after the unis are revealed.

Everyone was so accommodating and nice. I had to sign an NDA and they made us put our phones in lockers, so I cannot give any serious details.
I was invited with literally less than an hour notice to when we had to be there for the event. My apologies that I couldn't take the 2 other members I had offered to if I was invited. I had very little notice, like, minutes, before we had to rush out the door.
I can't give any serious details, but I can say that everything is 1st class with them. Wildly excited for not just the new look, but the quality of the garment, the materials, how it wears, etc.They let us try them on, took our pics, fed us, etc.
I was really bummed at the leaked pics when I saw them, but in person, that was all washed away instantly.
My little boy and I were the very first fans they let see the jerseys, try them on, etc. and we were blown away by the presentation and the things they are implementing around the stadium for fans as well (beyond the ROH). The Bengals really are listening and care. We got to keep our "New Stripes" lanyards and they gave us a pair of fitted draft day hats.
Also, Elizabeth Blackburn was wildly nice and generous with her time, engaging my son and myself to ask about us and then show us around to all of the features of the new jerseys, the concepts that didn't make it, what they were going for, etc.
Well done, Bengals! I was skeptical, but now just so eager to see them game day. On the mannequins, it was easy to envision them on the players. And when we tried them on, just a 1st rate jersey.
They will look CLASS, CUTTING EDGE, UNIQUE, and at the same time be something you will want to wear... and NOT just on game days. This stuff will POP on game day and on fans. Anyone concerned should 100% NOT be. Miles better than what they have now.
The bolded right there gives it away that the leaked jerseys we saw were what the actual design is.
It may look better on players/mannequins and maybe be better quality materials than what we saw in the leak, but it's gonna be the same design.
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. If he can turn this into a playoff appearance, it will be impressive.
Sorry for Party Rocking!

Come on, who among us hasn't wandered into an Outback Steakhouse and loudly explained to the whole restaurant that we don't like steak?
But to the unis, I really hope the orange is more Texas Longhorns orange and less you can't park here orange.
Fueled by satanism, violence, and sodomy, dinosaurs had little chance to survive as a species.

I am definitely NOT Elizabeth Blackburn. lol And I do NOT work for the Bengals
I have just hated the Bengals uniforms literally since they debuted in 2004. I couldn't stand wearing one to games or for anything other than game day. They were just so uncomfortable with all of the patches everywhere, the mesh, the blockiness, the Halloween orange.
These are so cool and comfortable to wear. I think people will be really excited.

I thought the pantone of orange they chose ended up looking perfect. Big difference from the last orange.

The reveal will get far more media attention on a Monday than on a weekend
Winning makes believers of us all

After the reveal - I would be very interested to hear more about this if you’re able to. Would love to know more about the process, what they tried, what worked, what didn’t work, etc.
