This.
Also, don't screw with the helmet. I see they changed the stripes. Not a fan.
They would have to change every seat back at the stadium to match....doubt that would happen.

I got a Jeff Blake jersey sitting under the tree that is wrapped. Can't wait to open it in a couple weeks. I absolutely loved those jerseys even though I'm way more into football now than I was then. And about the only things I remember from back then were Blake Bombs and Dillon's mean runs.
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. If he can turn this into a playoff appearance, it will be impressive.

I would think as part of the redesign, they would poll fanbase on what is preferred way to go on new unis.

I think it's more likely that if they come up with a new design that sucks, the org will release a statement about it being the fans' fault for requesting change, and how they're bullish on keeping the new unis for at least a decade.

I'm ready for a total change.
Completely agree! No small "tweaks" as Goodberry suggested. Complete and total overhaul of this team's image and branding!

I like them as long as we always keep the striped helmets.
They are the best helmets on the planet.
But I also am hoping they do a white helmet with black stripes when we wear the white color rush someday.

All that white would look gross and washed out. The orange helmet with the white unis looks perfect.

I still can't grasp why people want the Bengals to be white in jersey or helmet. I don't get it.

Guess I would have to see it to know for sure. I do like the orange and white though I agree on that.

I like to keep it simple, mostly black with the orange highlights. The 80s and up to 98 or so jerseys are my favorite. I still have a 98 Neil O'Donnell jersey that is simple and comfortable. That's my go to, mostly because I look extra stupid wearing a new and loud jersey

Yeah, the new ones are pretty loud. I have a Chad jersey and even it is pretty wild.
