BENGALS666 Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 Maybe someone else brought this up earlier in the year, but what is up with the bad decal jobs on the helmets - stripes all out of place and "old" stripes clearly visible underneath. I have no idea what the helmet maintenance involves - whether they repaint and re-stripe them but whatever they're doing now sure looks chincy.. Haven't seen this in prior seasons..

It looks as if they peeled off old stripe decals and added new ones. I can't be the only one who noticed this.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched today's game on 42" LP LCD FP with a regular feed and The Steelers game on the Panasonic Plasma in HD and noticed it both times. If it's the TV feed that would be truly bizarre - especially since today was DTV and last week was cable.. I'll try the next game in the home theater room...

Harmening Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 The Bengals now paint their stripes on, so I doubt it would be left over from a decal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

|Numbers| Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 I am not sure but if you enlarge most of the pictures it appears there is an outline in a different shade of orange around the black stripe. It is a little more evident on the picture with Crocker than the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
