So now that we have "cleaned house" of Marvin and his coaches and getting new ones and the beginning of a new era, should the Bengals also get a new uniform & helmet make over? Don't get me wrong, I like our current helmet and uniform but if we're going to change them, now would be a good time to do so. Doesn't mean they can't always go back to the stripped helmets.
What do you guys think?
If yes, take out your crayons and water colors and submit your designs. :andy:

Seems as good a time as any. New staff, new philosophy, new brand.
I figure we would have heard something by now if the team had applied for a uniform change.
Everything in this post is my fault.

They mess the the helmet, we riot.
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.

Don't screw with the helmet. IMO its the best in the NFL. They can update the actual uniforms though
All hopes turn to next year

You touch the helmet, you die 
Ahem  but seriously... leave the helmets alone. They aren’t broken, so why fix them? You don’t mess with perfection.
The uniforms, on the other hand, could definitely use a makeover. Something similar to what we wore in the late 90’s, early-2000’s would be ideal.

Those uniforms would look way too outdated.

The leaping tiger back on the sleeve would be cool. I don't think that the current unis need much, especially the all black.

Ha! If they're winning championships I don't care if they have to play in their grandmas old nighties and helmets with a picture of MB's rectum on them. OK, maybe not that last part.. I couldn't root for MB's rectum under any circumstances.

Just no. These uniforms are the bomb. No leaping tiger. No striped “B.”

You can vote for the best uni on Bengals web site I voted {color rush} you never know they might change them. They are sure making a lot of changes this year may as well switch up uni too.

Best uniforms in the NFL. They’ve been the best thing about the Bengals for most of the time I’ve been a fan.

PLEASE KEEP THE HELMET!!!
Reason I fell in love with this team as a kid. Didn't care if they sucked back then.
The helmet design has always been the one of the best in the NFL imo
Please ditch the striped "B" though... it's just a horrible way for the Brown family to sneak their initial on to my Bengals' gear.
We were going the right direction in '02/'03 when we went all black, before Marv added the stupid white and orange lines up the sides of the waist line of the pants/jerseys... Let Nike make us something to re-brand this new start. I'll even take a new primary logo, just leave the helmet.

They have to get approval from the league.
