What other professional or college team uses as their logo the first initial of their nickname? Total silliness betraying some other agenda.
Does Ohio State use a "B" Does UC use a "B" Do Reds use a "R" The New York Yankees a "Y" for Yankees? Boston Celtics "C" I cannot think of anyone. The poster who said they use a B because they intend to move and don't want to spend money on a C for Cincinnati nailed it. Lets just change the name to the Cincinnati Browns- oh wait that is already taken.

I never noticed this before - I only care/root for one other team - the LA Angels who do use the first letter of their nickname for everything. I think the B bothers a lot of people because the team has a cool animal as their name but they choose to use a letter instead of featuring a tiger.

It’s clearly for Bengals. I mean, c’mon...

It’s clearly for Bengals. I mean, c’mon... It definitely stands for Bengals, but as others have said, it could be so much better by using a tiger or something more to go along with the B. Perhaps a tiger paw with stripes (similar to Clemson but with stripes), or maybe a silhouette of the Cincinnati skyline behind the B. I believe every NFL team who is named after an animal except the Bears has the animal as their official logo. Cardinals, Broncos, Rams, Jags, Falcons, Seahawks, Lions, Panthers, Dolphins, Eagles, Ravens all have animals. Colts have a horseshoe. While the Bears have the "C" as their official logo to represent Chicago, their alternate logo is a bear head.

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!

I seriously do not care about a Jersey logo.
Concentrate on WINNING.

I think this is more important than is commonly known. I read somewhere (sorry, no link) several years ago that the reason the Bengals don't use the Roaring Tiger head much (at all?) anymore is because the NFL told them it looked too much like the Bears alternate logo. Bears had it first, I think, so they got to keep it. It was likely the marketing arm; but still, the point was that the league and the Bengals want their logo to be immediately recognizable, not have people squinting to decide if its a roaring tiger or a growling bear. This is a more serious problem with the size of logos on hats or details on shirts than for images on the field. I like the roaring tiger, but I don't think that is really an option for those marketing reasons. Therefore, you have the B or what was called the 'frolicking tiger' up thread. I think the B narrowly wins that contest; but I'd be in favor of someone coming up with a really aggressive tiger that doesn't conjure images of the Bears (or someone else's) logo.

I'm not sure which "roaring tiger" logo you are referring to, as the one the Bengals used to have is not really roaring. However, one I just found that I think looks REALLY cool is Idaho State's logo. They are also the Bengals.

Boise State uses a B logo (on their merch, not on the helmets necessarily). In fact, there is a massive B statue center stage on university road. Both my teams have this issue. Lol

There are franchises in all the major sports leagues that use the team name for the logo over the city or state team, but not many (examples, the LA Angels use an A and the Colorado Avalanche use an A). Most logos are either a depiction of the team name (example, the Carolina Panthers have a Panther logo) or representative of the city or state (example, the Chicago Bears use a 'C' logo). This seems to be indicative of most franchises, the Bengals are among the few that use the first letter of the team name.Great insight here... |
