They don't look nearly as good without a white helmet to go with it.
Everything in this post is my fault.

I'm not a fan of all white uniforms... Just like back in the 80/90s with the all white uniforms, I hated those.

Hell of a lot better than most of the color rush uniforms I've seen. Looks fine with the orange helmet, imo.

I like them. White/black helmet would really set it off though. Still looks ok with original helmets. Not a fan of the current Uniform anyway, so hey....why not?!

Kind of hope we keep these as an alternate for the future and maybe get a white helmet in the future

It truly is an idiotic rule. There was an article in ESPN where they interviewed several equipment managers for college teams that handle multiple helmets i.e. Oregon with like 5, and they all pretty much stated that the rule was unnecessary and as long as the helmet fits properly, would have no increase risk of injury. NFL just made up some random rule to appease the concussion alarmists. The only problem that was identified with using multiple helmets was.........where to store them all.

The Rugby League side I support has done a white tiger uniform before.

So I quite like these and will probably buy one.

There are rules to having multiple helmets and it seems like overkill to put on a full-helmet decal or paint all the orange to white for just one game then have to repaint again right after.
I do think too that the white and black uniform helps make the orange helmet really pop. The Bengals actually wear a near identical combo for their white uniforms in training camp and I think those look nice.
Also, this jersey could look nice for fans to wear since we obviously wouldn't be wearing orange Bengals helmets with them...or would we?
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.

NFL.com just ranked Bengals color Rush uni at #5. Giants ranked #1 for basically using old school Giants helmet decal. I have no doubt if the Bengals were to somehow pull off White/Black helmet, they would be #1.

Looks like the leaked photo was accurate. I've generally hated color rush, but these are pretty slick. Would look even better with a white helmet though.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.

Love the uniform, especially with the white and black cleats, but the orange helmets look out of place. Make the helmet white and that would have been a bad ass combination. Right now it just looks unfinished...

I believe these will be used in the future for all thurs games, until they revamp the color rush again.
I just don't see the league in general creating alternate helmets for the color rush jerseys. They have no way of monetizing a helmet. They can already just make an alternate color rush hat for my fat ass to strap on.
