I've posted some of my work on social media before, but bailed on my accounts in there because they're distraction hell! 

 

This is a concept I've been working on for a while through multiple iterations. At one point, I had the stripes up on top of the shoulders, but it didn't play as well as I hoped in a straight on view. So I made some changes. 

 

This is clearly a throwback inspired project, but as the Chargers have shown, you don't need to re-invent the wheel to make something sick. In fact, I think our jerseys are old looking now because they're from an era where design teams were trying to design motion into their work. That practice in and of itself is basically faded into the background, and clean, sharp, simple but powerful design is back in the fold. Look how many teams have abandoned their Nike designs for something more classic. I think we should follow suit. 

 

Here's the link to the entire set. https://www.behance.net/gallery/96655579/Cincinnati-Bengals-Uniform-Concepts?

 

 

 

These are perfect!!

Favorite combo is the white jersey, orange pants, and black socks

I think Boomer takes it a little far, I don't think what we have is "horrific" but I do think there are aspects of it that havent aged well over time (side panels). Go back to the leaping tigers unis! Another thing i liked about those...traditional numbers.

Some striped armed sleeves would be nice too  like so ...

(but NEVER alter the helmet)

 

 

As already mentioned, I really like the idea of stripes going fully across the shoulders ...

(but NEVER go with gradient numbers, which should be banned)

 

 

[|BlackJesus| 1,694]

A very toned down and simple style ... (too basic for me)

 

 

 

[|BlackJesus| 1,694]

Two interesting designs ... 

 

 

 

 

 

[|BlackJesus| 1,694]

An all orange version ...

Not me, the more toned down the better. Granted, with orange as one of your colors I'm not sure how down you can go.

Seriously, if you look at all the mostr recognizable unis (Cowboys/Packers/<gag> Stealers) they all pretty much said no thanks to the Niki-fication of their unis and I wish the Bengals would reverse theirs. Go back to the 80s striping and maybe tone down the orange a bit and I'm a happy camper.

... I fixed the images. You should be able to see them now.

... I would say this one has potential as a Color Rush alternate.

Thanks

Some concepts found on the internet ...

This design adds in green for the tiger grass ... (I'm not a fan)

One option would just be going back to these ...

I like those, for their classic look. I liked the wider black stripes though in the later iteration, didn't look as dated

I’m all for it. Or making it a “throwback alternate” in place of the orange (which I like, but that jersey is still my favorite all time).

I put those stripes on for a reason."

Reportedly, the elites are out there. Closest I could come to finding was the price:$300+ 
 

Have just been casually browsing, so they may be less somewhere else.

If I pay 300 bucks for a jersey it better come with a cheerleader inside of it.

The mockups with MORE orange and MORE stripes are just hideous.  Like ugly sneaker trends..

The white rash uniforms work so well because they get away from that clown appearance.  Build on those. Make a classy, tough inverted home version in black and viola, done..

Fix the shoulder swaths to look more like the sleeve shape that *Dalton wore and less like the bunched up round mess everyone else wore. In 2020 how is this difficult?

I don't expect the helmet design to go away in this lifetime..

I could live with that. Maybe outline the stripes in orange to add a bit more color?

 

And whoever came up with that green crap has mental problems.
