I like this look, but too bad they already said no helmet changes & had Hobson publish a puff-piece about how it's an iconic NFL favorite helmet (when plenty of opined articles actually say it sucks).

You see a Giants jersey you think of Bill Parcels, LT, Carl Banks, Phil Sims, Super Bowl Champs

You see a Packers jersey you think Bart Starr, Vince Lombardi, Super Bowl Champs

You see a Cowboys jersey you think Tom Landry, Roger Staubach, America's team, Super Bowl Champs

You see a Steelers Jersey you think Chuck Knoll, Terry Bradshaw, Steel Curtain, Superbowl Champs


You see a Bengals jersey you think Mike Shula, Akili Smith, The 90s


I'm ready for a total change.

I don't know, I see a 80s Bengals jersey and I think of Kenny, Munoz, Boomer, Fulcher, Ickey.

I'd like to see a modern tweak to those.

I still can't grasp the love for all white.  They look like they're heading out to paint a house, or something.

Those white helmets look terrible. I don’t understand the fascination. The color rush looks great with the orange helmets, imo.

Maybe the white tiger look would work now that both Siegfried and Roy have died?  Call it a tribute.

I still don't get the color-less rush jerseys because they look too much like the away Raiders jerseys.  Color rush were amusing because they were over the top colorful, seeing the Bengals in white play the Dolphins in orange was a bit odd, for sure.

Man, I like the orange helmets but boy, oh boy, if they could do white helmets I would fall in love. I think that look is super sharp.

I'm def for the orange helmets on the color rush. Need something to break up all that white. Just saying, that pic and another one of Gio looks better than some previous all white pics i've seen.

I've seen a lot of 'ranked helmets' and yeah, a lot of them are bad but it's a very recognizable look, like the Rams. It's unique and as close as you can get to what the logo/mascot is all about. 

Most of the negativity is because of how much the team has sucked over the years. Throw in some more regular season and playoff wins and people are all of the sudden raving. 

blehhhh

I feel like the Bengals helmet has too much going on to do that.

I like the color rush jerseys with the orange helmets a lot. Not sure white and black helmets would make it look good.

Didn't the Patriots adopt their color rush jersey as their regular jersey this year? I'd be on board with us doing that.

It has to be something with an orange base. They can put any decal on that they want, as long as they don't change the helmet...which requires the orange base to always stay the same.

These new uniforms look too much like the old ones. If you're going to change then really go for it - make the entire uniform look like the helmet!

They're pretty hot and I think they help us move into a new age and out of the old cheap era.  

It might be simple, but hopefully they can attract a bigger fan base and maybe even some grab the interest of players looking for new homes!  Not that players base their decisions off of uniforms, but catchy new threads might at least make us more appealing!

March 17th and the official off season can't get here soon enough. Our uniforms will not fix a bad OL, DL,LB, bad front office and coaching, but hey we will look nice going 4-12.

Neither do I.

Anyone who says the current helmet sucks is an idiot with no taste. The only person I've ever seen hate on the helmet is Paul Lukas and he likes the Browns' uniforms, thus making him an idiot twice.

This. 100% this.   I also agree with whoever said they look like painters going out to paint a house.

The ONLY people who would get the "white tiger" reference is people from Cincinnati and the .025% of people seeing the Siegfried and Roy show.

The rest of the population would want to know: "what's up the Cincinnati ZEBRAS"?

These are absolutely amazing, in my opinion.

Seriously, the only thing I would change would be to the orange name plate on the white away jersey, I’d make it black. But other than that, these are perfect. Simple and clean, while keeping the best helmet in sports history.

If they go with those, I'll save some money. Those river stripes on the sleeves and socks really don't do it for me. Either you do tiger stripes or you don't. We're either the Bengals or we're not. 

[Big Boss]

Yeah, those aren't tiger stripes on the shoulders and it annoys me.

[*michaelsean*]

So is this Nero fiddling or rearranging the deck chairs? I think rearranging the deck chairs is more apt.

These honestly might be my favorite.  They're essentially an official version of our practice uniforms, which are great.
