Hey, I'm not telling you to not buy Bengals gear.. That's entirely up to you and I will think nothing less of you, but it is out there for one reason and one reason only..Free advertising that you're paying for.
The Levi analogy isn't a good one. The Levi logo is small and barely noticeable while a Bengals jersey pretty much screams Bengals. The reason I won't buy it is I grew up around advertising and have worked in the field.. It's kind of like the license plate frames with the dealers name all over it. You pay for those too when you buy a new car with one on it and receive no benefit other than paying for the dealers free ad.
