Le Tigre Posted July 15, 2022 Report Share Posted July 15, 2022 2 hours ago, GoBengals said: looks like they are tethered to alternate or throwback jerseys. So 1-2 times would be my guess. Assuming just once. The original NFL memo to the teams in '21 gave parameters of use, but didn't offer the number of times any of the combos could be used. The best look-around I could find was "3 times max" but nothing according to the Gospel of Roger. But the memo does limit the "alternate helmet" to only one shell--meaning the white one is it for here. As it says, it does have to match either the "classic, alternate or Color Rush" rest of uniform. The white one looks to only match the Color Rush ensemble. I guess "alternate" is the same as Color Rush. Looks like the chatter around the league, is that fans of the more "Classic" looks--old Seahawks, Bucs, Pats, etc. are pleased that they can finally match the helmet to the original uniform. Doesn't look like they can match it then to the Color Rush/Alternate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|BlackJesus| Posted July 15, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2022 It would be cool if they could do different end zones and mid field for the White Bengal, but I would imagine the field turf cost would be too high for 1 week .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleeds Orange Posted July 16, 2022 Report Share Posted July 16, 2022 I really want to see the classic uniforms return twice a season, but it's nearly impossible to argue with this decision. I wouldn't be surprised if they bring out a slightly revised alternate white jersey, without the orange outline on the numbers. I think the orange outline was there mainly to tie in with the helmet, which won't be necessary with the white helmet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn’t clear as to just what those would be: existing or design-as-you-go. If the latter, and knowing the league’s rigidity as to conformity, it would stand to reason those combos are in place now. I’m not picturing different uniform every other night NBA-type scenarios.

Thanks. Regarding the video, I’m surprised the helmet isn’t on a movable post (tilting/turning mannequin head) to allow easier access and to free up both hands for application of decals. I also wonder if a flat/matte finish for the stripes would better match the stripes on the uniform. …or are the actual uniform stripes glossy?

I'm also wondering if the helmets the players actually use will have painted stipes instead of decals? Isn't that how the orange helmets are?

saphead Posted July 22, 2022 Report Share Posted July 22, 2022 I just watched that helmet video over my lunch break like I watch porn. With mouth agape and meat in my hand. My favorite stripe has always been the long one that wraps around the back of the ear hole. My second favorite stripe is the little 'U' shaped one on the back. Those are my 2 favorite stripes.
