I didn't notice if they wore them this year or not, but don't the Eagles and Packers were different helmets with their throwback unis? When did this rule come along, because those yellow Steelers helmets weren't that long ago... I'm getting old, so I could be wrong.

The helmet rule was implemented in 2013.

They're also not that color of orange, if we're being pedantic.  People look past that, they can look past a black helmet, especially when they get their white and black helmet in the bargain.

Didn't the Bengals have a black and white tiger on the field for every game for years?  Benzoo, right?

Man I hate the B. I'm going to get it going here. I would absolutely love the black and white uni and yes also the helmet. I think they are awesome looking, hands down best in sports. If I owned the team I would probably suck cause that is the first thing I would change.

They did, because Cincy Zoo had a White Tiger exhibit. Not sure why they stopped bringing the big cats to the stadium, I'm sure some PETA, weed eating snowflake threw a hissy....

So, in other words, black and white helmets would be completely appropriate.

Appropriate if you want the most boring color scheme in the league.

"Cincinnati Zebras" sounds really exciting if you still have a black-and-white television.

There's nothing at all boring about black and white.

I assume we would have heard something by now if the team had submitted a request to the league.

I guess that is why so many professional sports teams have that combination as their team colors.

Now this would be a great way to psychologically influence the referees going forward.

Andy to ref during a game: "Hey ref, I like your uniform (while Andy pointing at his B&W bengal uniform)".

So it can only be good if other people are wearing it too?  Way to think way inside the box.

How many other teams are wearing black and orange with striped helmets?

Baseball, hockey and soccer.  And the Orioles, the Giants and the Flyers all have have orange included, so never strictly black and white, but no stripes.  And on the soccer, the next soccer game I watch will be the first, so no idea on that one.

And none in the NFL.  Since we are talking about football helmets after all.Why did you even waste your time?

I said "professional sports teams" not "football helmets".

The NFL banned the tigers from the sidelines.  They cited safety concerns
