AmishBengalFan 1,145 Posted February 11 Report Share Posted February 11 A few years ago, I scored a sweet "Boomer Eshoeason" jersey on eBay. The thread is locked, but you can visit it and enjoy its historical goodness: Well, just last week I was able to score a nearly identical jersey. A Rawlings XL from the same era for $11. Only this one has no name on the back: I have three 7-Black jerseys from this era now and need to decide what name to put on this one. I have one made by Williams that I wore to Super Bowl XXIII - that one has no name on it and will remain exactly as it was. I have the Eshoeason one. And I have this one. The only other player to wear the number 7 from the era where the team wore this specific design was David Klingler. The later QBs (Bruce Gradkowski, Jake Dolegala and Kevin Hogan) were all after the redesign and are in the Palmer/Dalton style. So... Klingler? Lol. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Shebengal 156 Posted February 14 Report Share Posted February 14 I have an unofficial 7 jersey. I refused to wear it during the Klingler years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Le Tigre 2,336 Posted February 15 Report Share Posted February 15 Pics 2 and 4 come from the same game: the last time the Bengals wore the “original originals” in a post “original originals” game. What was the year, opponent, who won, score, and venue? (I was at this one, so already know the answer) Did You Know: Even this ensemble was not the “original original”. This was a copy of the post-1970 uniform. The arm striping was narrower than the real “original original”, and the pant trim was different too. Subtly, but different.

Bleeds Orange 616 Posted February 16 Report Share Posted February 16 I remember when Boomer Esiason was drafted, and everyone on this board said he was just a Boomer Eshoeason wannabe. Although Esiason had a few good years, he never really measured up to Eshoeason, who will always rank as the best to wear #7 for the franchise. Speaking of Bengals quarterbacks of yesteryear, let's not forget Don Criqui's all-time favorite Bengal, Boomer Eziazon. Old-timers will hopefully get it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shebengal 156 Posted February 16 Report Share Posted February 16 One of my husband’s former clients was a photographer and somehow scored a field pass to a Bengals game and scored this shot. It sits in a place of honor in my dining room. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
