Scottishbengal Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 Apologies for the quality of the photo's.A thumbs down from me I'm afraid. I've never liked the Bengals "B" and the new design of the endzones are a bit ...... bland, boring, dated to a bygone generation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsbengalsbucks Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 2 thumbs down from me. I dont like the B emblem as much as the leaping Bengal and the endzones with stripes are much better. For me they could do away with the word BENGALS and just keep the stripes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derekshank Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 http://p.twimg.com/AqDKuZDCEAAlDNF.jpg:largeThey are putting stripes in the endzone today.As for the 'B' - I'm not a huge fan, but I don't much care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 While I prefer the leaping tiger, I think the "B" will be fine as soon as the endzone stripes are added.If they weren't placing the stripes back in the endzones, I would hate it.

HoosierCat Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 Put me in the "always hated the B" category as well.From a graphics perspective, the end zones (with stripes) are way, way too busy.But hey, it's a new field so no complaints.

ArmyBengal Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 It would have been cool had they incorporated the fans into coming up with the new look for the field and award them with two season tickets. I bet they would have gotten better options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyline Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 I HATE the leaping tiger, so it won't be missed.This has always been my favorite Bengals logo...not sure why it isn't used more: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COB Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 I like the B logo, and I like the new field better. I don't like the stripes in the endzone, and I especially hate the green stripes made to look like vegetation on the walls that go from the field to the first row of seats. The Welcome to the Jungle concept is played out and should be buried. The jungle? Just because the mascot is the bengal doesn't mean we have to decorate the whole stadium like the natural habitat of the bengal tiger.This is a pet peeve of mine. Teams get a nickname or a theme going for one season. Then it's over. But the marketing people for the team are so lazy and unimaginitive that they keep flogging the concept for 20 years way after it has any relevance.For instance, in Cleveland Hanford Dixon and a few defensive players barked at each other one year and the fans started calling one endzone the dog pound. It's been over for like two decades, but they keep wearing stupid ass dog masks, they keep barking, they keep running some fat guy with a giant dog bone out there as their unofficial mascot. That team is long gone. Move on, make space so something new can organically develop.Same with Welcome to the Jungle. The jungle concept should be retired. The o-linemen in Washington one year called themselves the hogs. Then they got old and retired. 20 years later you'd turn on the tube and see some fan sitting in the stands in a dress with a pig nose on his already porcine face. I remember thinking, "what the f**k? The hogs have been gone for twenty years." Bengal stripes, yes. Green grass graphics on the wall to make the place look like a jungle? No. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stripes Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 I liked the leaping tiger, though the weird artistic perspective made it look like the tiger's head was impossibly attached. The "B" has always been dumb, in my opinion, but whatever. Gimme the endzone stripes and I don't care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottishbengal Posted April 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 I for one am pleased to see the strips going into the endzone. Still dislike the B though ..... would prefer the tiger face or even the leaping tiger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoosierCat Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 The Welcome to the Jungle concept is played out and should be buried. Yeah, it is pretty tired IMHO. But I can't knock the Bengals marketing department. These things, as your other examples point out, tend to rise organically out of some special aspect of a successful team. And the Bengals haven't exactly had a lot of success since the 80s jungle heyday. One more reason to hope the team gets on a roll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
