YOU see "black on orange."  But, guess what, since it's ALL fur, it can also be ORANGE on BLACK.
From a design/logo standpoint, there is no reason to box yourself in with strictly "black on orange."

To further illustrate the point...

You're the one being "too literal" with this post. You made a shitty design slightly less shitty, but it was still ridiculous in terms of uniform aesthetics. Inverted colors that don't match up with the helmet is an eye sore.

Your counter was linking two fugly ass modern uniform designs that even Rams and Seahawks fans are skeptical of. Any fan of taste I've ever heard from prefer the Dickerson Rams and Largent Seahawks uniforms. Or the Deacon Jones White on Blue Rams unis from the 60's.

But the main point was on taste and precedent. When Paul came to Cincy he wanted Black on Orange to contemptuously mock the Browns Black on Orange. In the Enquirer they held a poll as to what our new team name and mascot should be, it was overwhelmingly Buckeyes. Paul preferred the runner up of "Bengals" our non-NFL affiliated team from the 30's early 40's. All concept designs were Black on Orange, like an actual tiger's stripes.

Black on Orange, then Orange on Black would look as absurd as the modern neon Seahawk color scheme.

Just embrace the 80's, my dude. Then go from there. **** those E-Bay whateverthefuck leaks.

In other words, use your artistic talent to make an 80's inspired concept uniform. It will look a thousand times better than anything based off of these "leaks."
