It’s to be expected but have you yourself bought more stuff due to the way the season has gone or are you like me - excited but already having a ton of Bengals gear?
Who would’ve thought after the Jets game that at many stores Bengals’ metch would be sold out in January?
I forget where i read it, but there was an analysis of the impact of the Bengals playoff run on the city of Cincinnati and it was estimated to bring $50 million in to the area. That's amazing, and outstanding.
I bought a "Coffin Nails!" shirt, as well as a Bengals Punisher Sweatshirt, and two "Kings of the North" t-shirts from Cincy shirts. The shirts are actually a really good quality and comfortable material.
I have a ton of Bengals gear, and the joke is that if I am not dressed up for work, I am wearing either Bengals or Star Wars (sometimes they overlap). I just wanted a few cool new shirts.
I told my GF that if the Bengals win the Super Bowl this year, I am getting that side view smug tiger tattoo'd on my ankle. No, I don't have any other tatoos.
This is fun, my friends. From BFine's instant classic post to all the hype videos that give me chills...this is amazing.
