New Helmet

If other please describe.

Unfortunately "we" aren't going to do anything. Since the team changed their uniforms last year but kept the helmet unchanged, they are required to keep that configuration for a number of years.

Personally, I like the tiger head on a black helmet, like the Jags helmet.

While I am personally not a big fan of the stripes, it is certainly better than that stupid 'B' and it is original. I tend to think the tiger or tiger head would look fine, maybe even better... but it would take the one thing that makes our uniforms unique away from us. I don't like them, but I say keep them.

I say we change the helmets and make them all one color all the way around...a really, really boring color...a color that resembles the color of feces.

Wait, that's already been done :lol::lol::lol:

Haha. Yeah, and then the Bengals could draft nobodies for 10 years and be the laughing stock of the NFL for a decade and a half!

Oh wait! That's already been done! :P

I can't imagine why anyone would want to change the helmets, they are the coolest. Then again, my taste doesn't reflect that of all Bengaldom. Whomever designed the old Astros shirts must've thought they looked pretty slick too. Sometimes we can't help but be wrong, even when opinion is in question.

Keep em for sure,

Stripes are the best IMO a tiger head would be played out how many other teams do that? 15-20? How many other teams have a cat head on helm? 2 ?

We have one of the most unique and best looking helms in the nfl IMO,only 2 other teams have our style Rams & Eagles but yet it's kinda same style each is kinda unique

Best and most recognizable helmets in the NFL. That said reversing the stripes for a game each year would be neat. I also would like to see Black and White stripes(albino) for a special look once and awhile, but all this takes money and we all know that the Bengals owners are not ones to spend on frivolous items.

Back in the day (1981), Koch's had a white with black striped helmet hanging from the ceiling of their store. I think it was a demo from when the Bengals changed to the striped look. I think that was also back when the Zoo was really pushing the white tigers that they had there. So that was an obvious tie-in. But in the end the orange with black stripes version prevailed. However that white one did look pretty cool. I'd like to know who has it.

Also as I said earlier, they are bound by the NFL to keep their current helmet and uniform design for quite a few years since they just changed last year. I guess it has to do with the whole NFL properties thing and marketing the uniforms, etc.
