Look good, play good?
Nate Davis of USA Today ranked all uniforms in the NFL, and the Cincinnati Bengals came out near the top. Checking in at No. 8, Davis sees only seven teams with uniform styles better than the Bengals.
The orange and black striped helmet is arguably the best in the league, but adding the White Bengal look was something Davis highlighted.
“They earned beaucoup points (and their first Super Bowl berth) in 1981 when they stopped looking like Browns knock-offs – gross – and literally changed their stripes,” Davis said. “They’ve unnecessarily monkeyed with the jerseys and pants over the years and last season’s monochrome orange debut … nah. But the primary uniform is in a good place, and the white tiger alternates are as good as anyone’s – though that helmet doesn’t actually need to suddenly be mixed into other combinations.”
The Bengals debuted their current uniform in the 2021 season, a year after Joe Burrow’s arrival, and have added the White Bengal, an all-orange design, and orange pants over the last few years, giving them one of the more versatile packages in the league.
With the NFL adding in new alternate uniform slots, the Bengals could be adding even more looks in the near future.
