This makes the original helmets even worse. Not sure they could do worse than plain white with the Bengals across the side.

Compare it to the inverted stripes and tell me what looks better/cooler/will get fans more excited.

Black with orange stripes is the way to go. Bengals are now known for the stripes/best helmets so the next great helmet is the inverted one.

Also, most of the truly great players listed who wore the original Browns style helmet had their finest hour with the stripes on their heads (Bengals 1st SB appearance)

He changed the helmet design radically, to distance the team from Cleveland. What sense does it make to have a throw back uniform (not just helmet) that would basically honor the Browns? 

Edit:  I have nothing against using the orange helmet with Bengals on the side as long as you can show me a tiger in the wild with Bengals written across the side of it.. I mean if we are going by the logic that there is no such thing as a black tiger with orange stripes. All joking aside.. i dont mind the orange helmet..its the damn uniforms i dont want..

-1970s uniforms
-White helmet w/ a tweaked version of this logo on the sides:



I'd do a mockup if I had any sort of photoshop skills lol.

I get the sentiment and it's always interesting to see the different "eras" of fans and their preferences.

The original, Brownies rip-offs are plain, boring and, worst of all, look like Cleveland’s horrible helmets.

The Bengals striped helmets are the signature logo of the franchise. The white stripes are awesome and there is still 1 more awesome look left to complete the striped helmet trilogy. Black with orange stripes is the way to go.

If they ever allow a 4th helmet then they can bring those ugly-ass “Cincinnati Browns” helmets back for a preseason game or something ?

(05-06-2024, 08:52 AM)jason Wrote: I think an alternate helmet is lower on the priority list than a first round pick. So of course Munoz won't be consulted for the pick. The same way they're not gonna ring of honor style ask the fans who they should draft either.

Heads are literally gonna explode around here should they choose the throwbacks (they will), and wear them against Cleveland.
