Phil Knight realized that a school that had no tradition had to turn to something else as a selling point. So Nike designed all of these stupid uniforms with 600 different combinations to impress stupid kids. It worked like a charm... The NBA is doing it too. Each team has 97 unis, and they even change the court itself.

Oh I’m aware. College uniforms are 90% eyesores these days. Even Notre Dame got in on the act this year with their Yankee Stadium uniforms. Nothing is sacred anymore. Damn kids these days

Oh I’m well aware that the NCAA couldn’t care less about their student athletes well-being. I never assumed they were. I’m just saying the NFL using “safety” as an excuse to limit teams to one helmet is BS.

There are other reasons at play there. What they are, I have no idea. Could be financial reasons, could be sheer laziness (or some even some combination of the two) who knows?

I wanna bring back our former uniforms before our current ones now. Just as a throwback uni.

I don’t hate the NBA uniforms, but I think there’s too many. Last year it was announced each team would only have four uniforms to choose from. Now there’s seemingly a dozen per team. A bit overkill

I miss Reebok... the difference between them and Nike is subtle but the Reebok uniforms looked like football uniforms. Nike looks... different somehow. Can’t quite put my finger on it

The "B" stands for "Bengals".

Lots of professional sports teams use the first letter of their team name as their logo.

Color rush jersey looks "blah", and it definitely does not work with our orange/black helmet.

Since we are pretty much the only team in the league that has a helmet that actually looks like our mascot (same colors) I'd like to see our entire uniforms striped like the helmet. Maybe even add a tiger tail on the back. Of course it would have to be "tear away" so that our ball carriers could not be tackled by their tails.

And face masks shaped like teeth.

And, instead of humans, have actual large cats play for our team.

I'd buy that for a dollar.

Ears would be pretty damned hilarious.

Just bring back the 80s uniforms, they were the best looking anyway.

Yep, put furry pussycat ears on the helmets, and tell the players they can't take them off until they win a Super Bowl....

[WeezyBengal]

Our current uniforms are awful IMO.

Get rid of everything except the helmet. Go with a more minimalist, simplistic design.

I’m actually fine with our current uniforms, but I would love to replace or whites with the color rush. Best looking jersey we have, imo.

Get rid of the stupid white stripe on the sides of the black jersey. And get rid of the 3D numbers.
