The stripes are way too thick, the white on the back is weird, and the matte finish doesn’t look as good as our current glossy ones.

That's fair. I disagree, but I can see why you might not like them.

Be careful what you wish for. They actually wore these for a season.

No disrespect to you, but dammit, I was this close to my eternal goal of getting through one damn day without seeing a ***** Geico commercial.

Go back to the clean, classic look of the 60's, 70's era unis and keep the current goofy helmets for all the people obsessed with stripes.

Now yer talk'in

I started watching this team as a child because of the uniforms and Boomer. Love Boomer and I love the jerseys we have now, wouldn’t be the same at all.

Those old uniforms looked like High School uniforms. No thanks. If we go in a different direction, it needs to be more futuristic, not a reversion to the high school days.

Our uniforms are fine.

I would say the black pants are far better than the white, every combination of our kit looks better with the black pants. I'm not keen on our Orange/Black with white pants.

Orange and black, White and black, Black and black all look great

Bullshit.  Futuristic wears out in a couple years and makes you look back at in a few years and ask wtf was I thinking.  It's why people don't have mohawk haircuts or wear striped bell bottoms any more but still do wear Levis.  Sophisticated minds understand this.

It's why the Cowboys have the most popular unis in the league every year. Find an iconic look and you never have to change it. It's why CEO's don't wear skinny suits. Classic never goes out of style.

That would make us like the Brown's twin brother.

Right.  Because brown and black are exactly the same color.

I'm on board.   Really I could go for the pumpkin head helmets too.   I liked the look.

Will never happen, but I'm definitely on board with the original unis - maybe add black on black, orange jerzeys and color rush - but I like the simplicity of the original uniforms.

I know they're basically carbon copies of the Browns, but I love the 1960's/1970's uniforms. Even the "BENGALS" helmet. I genuinely wouldn't mind if they went back to that look for a decade.

Bullshit. That's just your opinion. (see how that works) Sophisticated....ok
And every classic look was once futuristic.

Agree on the black pants. Used to always change to black pants in madden with orange tops.

Again...bullshit.

I don't think you understand classic or futuristic. Futuristic NEVER becomes classic. That's why nobody's walking around wearing Cpt. Kirk jumpsuits.

And apparently, it doesn't take much to make you laugh like a fool. Hell, it doesn't even take humor.

Yeah - go to the knock off Browns unis....

no thanks.

I would love to see them go back to the base 80's unis with a little modernization to it.

Also - I'm pretty sure that the team needs to notify the league 1 year in advance of changing uniforms. I would assume this has something to do with buying materials and production.

In order to have new uniforms next year they will need to have applied by March of this year.  It's only been 2 months.  It's possible they did.  

Pretty sure Mikey won't make major color changes (white tiger), so with that said i like these.
