[tBengal]

I’m not sure we’ll ever see new uniforms.

I'm sorry, but all of these companies trying to be cute on social media is so lame.  I always think of that picture or meme or whatever with Steve Buscemi ("How do you do fellow kids?") when I see stupid posts like these.

Nobody is following the Bengals (or Wendy's, or Arby's, or Ford, or whoever) for humor and for them to pretend like their primary objective isn't making as much money as possible.  Just announce your new cheeseburger, or you new car, or whatever you have regarding your football team, or shut the hell up.

This isn't cool.  You know what's cool?  Winning football.  Leave this stupid crap to teenagers.

You are my favorite poster. I don't even need to post because you summarize most of my thoughts. Who Dey!

So we'll get something epic like a Gold Star Chili/Bengals commercial.

My bold, if not ridiculously impossible prediction: 

 - GM (Marvin Lewis)

Chevy is re-launching the Lumina? In pearlescent poop beige.

I like the bold prediction! That outcome would be worth that tweet.

Such a Negative Nancy.... Lighten up Francis, have some fun. They've obviously got a deal in the works with someone, which they feel is going to be big, and are waiting to pen to paper..

I mean, for people that consider tweets like this from a 2 billion dollar company "fun", more power to them.

I'd just like to hear what the news is.  And if you're going to announce it later then a simple "We will have an announcement at X time" would suffice, and it would provide me with actual info. 

I just don't need the notoriously old school Bengals to tweet like a teenager for it to peak my interest.  It's desperate and cringy, just like every other company that goes out of their way to pretend to be cool, and not just some filthy rich company that is trying to sell you something.

Sorry, I'm not someone that finds the Wendy's Twitter account hilarious, or wants to see them "clap back" on the Burger King account.

To each their own, I'm not saying this is the WORST thing ever or anything like that.  I just personally find it annoying and kinda disingenuous.

Well f**k. My color rush Burrow is already outdated.

Nope. That's it. New unis coming!

Really curious to see what they do with the unis.  

That said, I'm kinda annoyed by the move.  Feels like lipstick on a pig unless they're going to make some real changes.  And so far this offseason, they haven't.  If all there is to be excited about is new uniforms, something is very, very wrong.
