What fierce animal is an Athletic?  How about Mariner?  What would be an alternate logo for a Mariner?  A guy in a raincoat on the deck of a ship?  Ooh, how scary is that?

I'll have to concede Marlin, who, btw, are the Miami Marlins, so the M works for the city.  

How about a Pacer?  A car?

But we're talking about a damn tiger, for crying out loud.  Go with the ferocity.  Seems obvious.

What is scary about a "G", or a "NY", or an "SF", or a "C", or a "T"(in some sort of flaming ball??), or a fleur de lise, or a horseshoe, or a star?

And I've heard it said and seen it written more and more lately that the stripey helmet has become symbolic for ineptitude and failure and I kind of agree.  They want a New Dey, make it a whole new day.

Personally I prefer the orange jersey with black pants. Best combo they've got.

Easily the best in sports history

I admit I'm biased because I don't like the color orange.  The fruit is great, the color not so much.

I think the color orange looks great for uniforms. The Philadelphia Flyers have a awesome jerseys (even though I hate that team). Clemson’s are sharp, too.

You mentioned how fierce Bengal tigers are, they’re also one of the most beautiful animals on the planet.

The Bears are classic and legendary and black is always cool.  Red and gold is boring?  We disagree on that too.  And the chiefs...I love the red.

So, if the tiger is beautiful, use the beauty, helmet and logo.  The striped helmet has just gotten old and I hate the awful associations that come with it.

I mentioned the white and black tiger they used to have on the sidelines.  That was a beautiful animal and the beauty was amplified by the rarity of it.  How come they never brought an orange and black tiger?  And the white and black tiger never looked a damn thing like a zebra.

IMO, the color rush unis are the best Bengal unis of all time--clean, striking, would become classic.  The only thing that ruined them was the damn stripey pumpkin helmets.  Orange helmets just remind me too much of the Browns.

And who says if you're team mascot  is a Bengal, which is a tiger, that your colors have to be pumpkin and black?  Clemson is orange and blue.  LSU is blue and gold.   Memphis is blue and white, for crying out loud.

But the biggest reason to ditch the goofy helmets is the negative connotations associated with them.  Let's find something that does not symbolize failure.

As far as negative association on the helmets, it’s also the helmet we wore for 2 SB appearances, 5 straight trips to the playoffs, 2 MVPs, and a HoF LT.

It’s so much better than the original helmets it’s not even funny. Those things were truly awful.
