gupps Posted October 28, 2021 Report Share Posted October 28, 2021 Well, if we used the white/black helmet with the all white uni we could be the Cincinnati Generics or maybe the Cincinnati Barcodes. Press would have a field day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's put it another way. The backround in the rectangle where I'm typing this message is white. That helmet is nowhere near that color. If the picture is accurate then no, the color is not white and I'm not a fan. I question whether the picture is accurate though. Don't accuse me of being obnoxious. I just spelled it out I asked if you were being obnoxious, I didn't say for certain you were, but if that's how you felt about it I apologize.

You know women swear that they see colors better than us. I'll report back their findings I think it's the camera and lighting that makes it look bluish, because if you look at the left part of the helmet, there's light reflecting off of it that is definitely white.

MOC Posted October 28, 2021 Report Share Posted October 28, 2021 This is the first year they've included the helmet choice in the weekly uniform announcement, and I've heard rumblings that the white helmet may make an appearance yet this year? I voted for the reverse black orange though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't know that? My source was a friend on the Bengals staff (non coaching position) and he may have just been screwing with me Thanks for the info Edit: I was asking him why they were showing the helmet choice on the weekly uniform release when there's only one helmet?

Next year that rule is that you can have two helmets, one normal and one alternate that have to both go through safety review. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griever Posted October 28, 2021 Report Share Posted October 28, 2021 Aside from an alternate Bengal hemet, I am really looking forward to seeing some teams bring back their classic looks. Pat Patriot, Bucco Bruce, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saphead Posted October 29, 2021 Report Share Posted October 29, 2021 I have to say, the Bengals uniform update and their whole social media team have been on point this year. It feels like a different franchise in some ways! I love our new clean look uniforms, and our 40 year old helmets have stood the test of time and still look fucking amazing, especially at night.
