|High School Harry| Posted September 16, 2021 Report Share Posted September 16, 2021 https://bengalswire.usatoday.com/2021/09/16/bengals-tee-higgins-change-jersey-number/ Tee Higgins will wear the iconic No. 85 for the Cincinnati Bengals for this season only. Higgins revealed the shocking news in a presser on Thursday before his team’s Week 2 game. He’ll go back to No. 5, the number he wore in college at Clemson. Back in April, Higgins had told Geoff Hobson of Bengals.com the fans were the reason he wanted to stick with the No. 85: “It was me and my cousin’s favorite number growing up and he told me to wear it in college. I want to go back to the old number. But a lot of the fans like me in 85. I want to do what makes them happy.” New NFL rules this offseason made it so positions like wideouts can don single-digit numbers and shortly after that, Higgins had suggested he wanted to go to No. 5. From the sounds of it, Higgins will finally make that switch in 2022, per ESPN’s Ben Baby: One reason? Chad Johnson: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|High School Harry| Posted September 16, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2021 Hardly worth its own thread but I did not know where else to put it. Worth mentioning. The two Ben Baby tweets did not show up. I'm strongly considering going to Koch Sporting Goods and see if they can whip up a 5 Higgins jersey for me. Only what color?

|High School Harry| Posted September 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2021 Not sure if or who else may be interested. Just went to Koch and they do not custom make the new jerseys. However, NFLShops.com does for $149 a pop and free shipping. I got three... Black for son, White for lady friend's son and an Orange one for me. Ships in about 5 days. Hopefully we can gear up for Jacksonville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
