Bleeds Orange Posted February 21, 2014 Report Posted February 21, 2014 New uniforms will be unveiled March 5. The most obvious difference is the size of the logo, but the logo itself has been modified, with a different look to the skull and crossed swords. The red is more vibrant, the face mask goes from black to chrome-ish, and the pewter is a lighter shade that more-closely resembles actual pewter. I'm not sure why they felt the need to change the skull and swords, but whatever. But another thing they did was to remove some of the detail from the flag, and that wasn't a good change. Overall, I like the new look. It looks fresher. They may have gone overboard with the size of the logo, though. The old: The new:
MichaelWeston Posted February 21, 2014 Report Posted February 21, 2014 I think it looks ridiculous but I love when they try to change things. I like old school looks better and would love to see what it would look like without the flag. Just the skull ans swords
fluhartz Posted February 21, 2014 Report Posted February 21, 2014 it's ok...but I was really hoping to see this.
MichaelWeston Posted February 22, 2014 Report Posted February 22, 2014 it's ok...but I was really hoping to see this. when you have something that cool why do you change it? I guess young kids might think it looks old but I think it looks awesome. I love the old school stuff. I would sport a t shirt with that logo and I am not even a fan.
Bleeds Orange Posted February 22, 2014 Author Report Posted February 22, 2014 That helmet is my favorite of all time. My basement is a museum of Reds and Bengals stuff from the 70s and 80s, but among it there is Bucco Bruce helmet stuff here and there. I love the red and orange together and wish more teams would use it.
oldschooler Posted February 22, 2014 Report Posted February 22, 2014 it's ok...but I was really hoping to see this. That is the gayest Sports logo of all time. Not that there's anything wrong with that ...
mongo Posted February 22, 2014 Report Posted February 22, 2014 Bruce was effing awesome! They never should have gotten rid of him.
HairOnFire Posted February 23, 2014 Report Posted February 23, 2014 In response the Cleveland Browns also announced they too would triple the size of the logo on their helmet....
Le Tigre Posted February 23, 2014 Report Posted February 23, 2014 Bruce was da bess. TB ranks #4 on my NFL fav list...behind Bengals, Iggles, and AZ. I basically followed them from their beginnings (loved John McKay) and especially during Sam's time there. Still have a Bruce sweatshirt and sweater.
fluhartz Posted February 23, 2014 Report Posted February 23, 2014 Bruce was effing awesome! They never should have gotten rid of him. I feel the same way... It was my favorite non Bengals sports logo of all time.. I like the Bucs as a child just because of the uniforms.
Bengals1181 Posted February 26, 2014 Report Posted February 26, 2014 suggested on another site, I think the keychain version would make a pretty cool real helmet.
Bengals1181 Posted March 3, 2014 Report Posted March 3, 2014 really? I think they're ugly, and I usually like when teams re-do their unis. Don't think the orange works, and I don't like that they ditched the pewter.
|High School Harry| Posted March 3, 2014 Report Posted March 3, 2014 These are pretty bad ass ... Did they drop out of the NFL and join the arena league? Maybe when the team is introduced before the game rather than running out from the tunnel into the dressing room they can have a tiny little car drive into the middle of the field and the whole team jump out one at a time accompanied by a seal playing "Send in the Clowns" on bicycle horns.
EnglishBengal Posted March 4, 2014 Report Posted March 4, 2014 suggested on another site, I think the keychain version would make a pretty cool real helmet. Looks like something from Pirates Of The Caribbean.
Bleeds Orange Posted March 4, 2014 Author Report Posted March 4, 2014 Good lord, those are horrible. They might be just merely bad if not for the awful number font, but those numbers put these in a class by themselves. Easily the ugliest team in the league at this point.

HairOnFire Posted March 5, 2014 Report Posted March 5, 2014 In response the Cleveland Browns also announced they too would triple the size of the logo on their helmet.... Next year we'll find out how badly Nike can fuck up a blank canvas. I'm guessing the Browns "cutting edge" makeover will include verticle striped socks, a two color jersey that resembles a tank top, and uniform numbers using the now familiar alarm clock font. Oh, and it will probably feature a team logo that can't do double duty as a paint chip.

Oh, and it will probably feature a team logo that can't do double duty as a paint chip. Tank top look for Cleveland unis is a must. Also, since it's Cleveland, the tank top should be matched with bermuda shorts two sizes too large, white tube socks, and black loafers. And if they can make their players somehow look like they're standing outside a Sons of Slovenia social hall, hammering down kielbasa on a white bread bun, that would be helpful as well.

They say the helmet won't be changed, but I'm almost certain the new uniforms will feature an updated Brownie elf logo. Probably wouldn't be difficult to put a giant tubular meat sandwich in it's tiny little hands. The real question I think the Browns are facing is how many elf logos will Nike want to put on the uniforms, and will those 50's era throwback logos clash with 90's era clock radio fonts? Not to mention the danger of making the fake carbon fiber accents look a little bit too fake.
oldschooler Posted March 6, 2014 Report Posted March 6, 2014 I just don't see how anyone can "love" those old creamsicle unis and think the new ones a are "horrible". Different strokes I guess ...
oldschooler Posted March 6, 2014 Report Posted March 6, 2014 really? I think they're ugly, and I usually like when teams re-do their unis. Don't think the orange works, and I don't like that they ditched the pewter. Helmets are still pewter. The orange is in the logo and is also the creamsicle that everyone loves. I think these are the best they have had yet. But to me, that's not saying a lot, considering what they had.
Harmening Posted March 7, 2014 Report Posted March 7, 2014 This is something a college team wears. Not professionals.
Passepartout Posted March 9, 2014 Report Posted March 9, 2014 Yeah but all thirty-two teams will have to switch to a new kind of uniforms and helmets for the 21st century!
