No joke.... this is textbook. I actually think you could make a fun mad lib out of these phrases.

I feel you as I have '47 brand hats & like them. I think the 39thirty are less stiff especially after you wear them for awhile. It depends if they have the firm front part or not. Some have that almost cardboard like front and other 39thirty hats have the mesh. The mesh, I can work with to avoid that solid dome look.

I will check those out! I just cannot stand hats that are super structured on my head. It's as if I'm wearing a bucket or something. lol

Yeah, just don't want the tiger leaping and looking like it is dancing or something. Gotta be fierce!

Gray/Black looks bad.
Black is so-so.
I kind of like the all white one.
These hats are atrocious.
Not only does it use the crappy B logo, but it puts a dumb stripe rectangle behind it.
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.

Well dude, if you hate the "B" logo then you aren't liking most Bengals hats.
The innovative rectangle  is the NFL's way of justifying 2021 camp hats being different than year's past.

Other AFC North teams, the white version just so those hating on it know it's NFL branding & not just a Bengals decision.
Browns

The rectangle behind the logo is what makes 2021 special.

I have 3 bengals hats. Two have the tiger head, one of which was the 2007 draft hat. The last one does have the B, but I've had it for like 10 years or so. It's the one I wear least out of the three.

When are the new and improved Last Day of OTA hats coming out? I don't wear hats anymore so it's a non-thing for me.

Not a fan of the B logo either and just think these hats are ok looking.
But oddly enough I do like the black shirt with the orange/black "B" logo.
First B shirt Ive considered buying

I think I read somewhere that you have to earn nice training camp hats. 6 wins in 2 seasons won't cut it.

If Mike Brown didn't hoard that cap money we'd have better hats.
Side note:
Can we just get it over with and hire some Insane Clown Posse members to be our cheerleaders this season?

If Burrow ever leads us to a Super Bowl win, I want to buy a round of these hats to all the haters in the thread and make them wear them.
I get the B logo dislike, but it plastered on a hat isn't that bad.

any idea why there are more black and grey "B" logos than orange and black.. I mean most of these don't even have our colors.
