Thanks for the effort!! I'm definitely in the minority as far as liking the flashy loud look here, but I truly would wear the heck out of this jersey. Wouldn't even bat an eye about putting money into Mike Brown's pocket. The only problem is there's not really any pant color that would go with these jerseys for the players, I think. Or it might look like the Syracuse University unis if you make the pants in the same color as the font, which could work or fail miserably.
Having said that, the black jersey with orange font is a less flashy yet crisp classic look that I would love, and I'm sure I wouldn't be one of the few. And that would go nicely with black pants.

As a lot of posters have said, these are top notch.

Thanks!, but remember that I only modified an existing design... the source design credit goes to that DaltonSignature dude.
The claws on the number are silly. It would also look worse on double-digit numbers.

I disagree, but that's just my opinion. I think the claw marks are small enough to not be too distracting. Also I noticed that for 2-digit numbers, the claw mark of the 2nd digit is in the UPPER-RIGHT, so it gives nice symmetry.

TOMKAT, Can you remove the border on the number tear.. that would make the tear resonate more than it being enclosed by the entire number border. Keep the border on the number only. Thanks.

Stand by...
YEP, you were absolutely right, and it's like you were reading my mind! I was already thinking about doing it when you posted.

Wonder if it would be better to have Paul Brown's sig right under the V neck, and moving the number slightly down if needed to make room. Also what if the captain's patch was removed, since only a small number of players get those patches anyway.

I'd actually prefer the signature be on the back/inside of the neck (like the "official" versions)

Great adaptation!
Getting rid of the leaping tiger and changing the shoulder stripe pattern made all the difference.
You're hired!
Of course you won't get the customary Wendy's coupon since you dissed her unfurled hair.
Ol' Mikey had an American Beauty moment with Wendy in his dream so he's not too happy.

That kicks some serious tail!!! Thanks for all the work!!!
I know you started off with someone else's template, but thanks for your time and effort Tomkat!
This version looks clean, but still has all the right highlights! Snappy color, homage to the stripes, creative Bengals related touches, yet sleek and still looks classic.

Orange stripes on a black jersey are objectively dumb looking. You look at the helmet with black on orange, then look at the shoulders and it doesn't match up, then you have to wonder what the pant stripes are.
If the pant stripes are black on orange (like the helmet), it's battling with the jersey, if it's orange on black (like the jersey) it's battling with the helmet again.
Black stripes on orange collar bars, with white lettering font is the optimal, cohesive design for the home uniform.
Putting random orange stripes on the jersey/pants is some photo negative, color grade silliness.
I'm no trying to be a dick, but put the stripes like they are on a tiger; black stripes on an orange background.

Well, the players aren't actual tigers so...

black stripes on orange jersey will be consistent but keeping everything else as a black jersey would likely end up with a uniform looking like a muscle/basketball shirt. More so because the sleeves have become so tiny nowadays.

I have a question... are the "TV" numbers on the shoulders REQUIRED? If so... I'll need to add them.
