![]() ![]() ![]() Here’s the petition they sent to the NFL, according to the article linked above, which the Bengals posted on Instagram: The visual effect wouldn’t be much different - the CR uniform and the primary white uniform are quite similar. Now, let’s circle back to the Bengals, who, according to this article, have petitioned the NFL to allow them to wear their white helmets with their primary white uniform, rather than their CR uniform. Likewise, two of the three alternate helmets introduced this season seem visually out-of-place when paired with the teams’ CR uniforms.īecause of the current alternate helmet usage rules, the Lions will have to wear their new blue helmet with their all-gray uniform, and the Broncos must wear their new white helmet with their all-orange CR. The black hat isn’t terrible with the CR (which itself is more of a harkback), but still looks a bit out of place. Specifically, the Saints black helmet, which for now must be paired with the all white CR, seems much more appropriately worn with the team’s black jerseys. Pairing those alternate helmets with an alternate/CR uniform produced an odd look, to say the least, seemingly begging to be worn with one of the teams’ primary uniforms. Teams who are wearing alternate lids this season include the Lions (blue), Broncos (white), and Colts (black).Īgain, in most of those non-throwback helmets, their color was meant to pair with alternate/CR uniforms (Bears, Panthers, Texans, Cardinals) but in other cases, the alternate helmet didn’t seem to make sense. This year saw another large batch of alternate helmets, some to be worn specifically with throwbacks (Buccaneers, Seahawks, Eagles, Titans, Browns) but others were not. ![]() ![]() This list included the Bengals (“white tiger”), Bears (orange), Saints (black), Panthers (black), Texans (red), Cardinals (black), Jets (black) and Eagles (black). But there were also several teams who debuted alternates which were not specifically for throwbacks, but (seemingly) because they could, and which would thus need to be worn with alternate/CR uniforms. Last year saw multiple teams introduce alternate helmets, with several of them (Giants, Falcons, Patriots, Cowboys) to be worn specifically with classic (throwback uniforms). In most cases, this isn’t much of a problem, especially for clubs who introduced an alternate helmet specifically for use with a throwback uniform. That meant teams who introduced alternate helmets which might otherwise (and perhaps more appropriately) be paired with their primary home or road uniforms, could not do so. Because those uniforms are limited to a total of three wearings per season (in any combination), that has kept the wearing of alternate helmets to a maximum of three times per season. … The look you seek is your primary whites □ the 2022 season, the NFL began permitting teams to use an alternate helmet, but that usage came with a caveat: the alternate helmet could only be paired with a team’s third (alternate) jersey, the color rush (CR) uniform, or a “classic” (throwback) uniform. The riddle read, “Through the haze, a change draws near Old hues, new clues, and a few new rules Numbers danced and colors rushed, In threads woven, a twist is hushed A secret change, oh a mystery's delight Shifting stripes, which one is right? Unveil the riddle where this secret hides,” per the Bengals official twitter page. The Bengals and former “Ruler of the Jungle” Kay Adams teased the reveal of the “primary whites” with a video featuring a riddle. However, current NFL protocol only allows them to use the helmet with their color rush uniform, which is a similar all-white look. The white helmet with black tiger stripes drew inspiration from the white tigers at the Cincinnati zoo and became an immensely popular look. The Bengals want to pair their normal all-white uniform with the white alternate helmet they unveiled ahead of the 2022 season. The Cincinnati Bengals teamed up with Up & Adams podcast host Kay Adams to unveil Cincy's uniform plan as well as protest one aspect of the NFL's uniform policy. ![]()
