8. Cincinnati Bengals – Orange edition

The Cincinnati Bengals have always had a really hard time figuring out what the hell to wear. They are like that woman before a cocktail party, looking at a million different outfits in the closet before trying about 30 on, then realizing that the first one was probably the best choice.

In the beginning, owner Paul Brown dressed the Bengals up to look just like his old team, the Cleveland Browns. The only difference was the helmet, which had “BENGALS” written across it in simple font. In 1981, the Bengals went from 0 miles per hour to about 450 MPH, putting stripes all over the uniform including the helmet.

Currently, Cincinnati is rocking some of the ugliest uniforms in the business. If you are going to have orange on the uniform, it needs to be subtle. Apparently, the Bengals did not get the memo and are rolling out with all orange tops, something that can absolutely scare you to the core of your soul. The Bengals should go back to wearing black tops only and making sure that the pants cease with the idiotic striping. Just have some color down the side and be done with it. These are men, not 6-year-old kids. – MV
