These Rams helmets are from 2015.....I've seen the rule you are referring to. It is completely idiotic....I agree.

Yeah whats cool is we could do a throwback Uni, granted the orange would be different but we could do it unlike say NE. Wish we would do that some time.."B E N G A L S". I was a bit too young to see those helmets live...came in the same year the stripes did.

The helmets that are in use could be heat-wrapped in white vinyl and peeled after that week.
I'm all for it, as the hard hits would expose bits of orange and look like some sweet battle scars.

I want to see our actual uni before I condemn them. The "leaked" version is bogus, though. Every other team is wearing one of their colors, but the Bengals will be the league's sole exception and get a "white tiger" look? Not buying it.
Ravens got the Maryland thing.

And we call ourselves the Zebras for one week.

Steelers are wearing all black or all white so this is bogus. I'd like to see us avoid orange though and go all black.
Screw color rush!

Pretty sure that rule was scrapped after the 2013 season because I swear I saw the Rams, Cowboys and packers use different helmets last year.

Do you think that might sway the refs to our side, for once (barring BJGE's TD vs Colts).

They didn't. The rule is still in place.

I don't think this is accurate.
There's no Redskins or Titans on that paper.

I see... So either the rule doesn't apply to the Rams or they can paint over the helmets original design.

Agree. Just a gimmick to sell more merchandise. Unfortunately they are super ugly.

The helmet has one base color that does not change. The logos are just decals that can be changed

Rams switched decal. Pack loses decal. Lions lose decal. Cowboys haven't used white helmet since the rule change.

Uhhhh....no, I didn't. Don't care. The white and black is hideous. Bring on the orange.

I think the black and white would look really cool. It still sticks with the Tiger theme. I imagine they would look similar to the UC black and whtie uniforms they wore in the Sugar Bowl in 2010
