I agree that they look good, but navy is NOT one of our primary colors. Navy is, and always has been, a trim color and us switching to navy unis would be like any other team switching to black...completely stupid. We do have a navy uni in the new set, but it has not been brought out yet this year.[/quote] i disagree that it would be "completely stupid" - i checked out some of the pics that MPowers provided and that jogged my memory about the game vs. wake in the ACC championship. they looked really sharp there. navy is naturally one of your school colors, and it looks good with the gold - see notre dame, navy, numerous other schools - it's not like a florida state or usc going with a black alternate, which looks more forced. i just feel like white and gold are too close together to differentiate home and away. mixing in navy every now and then looks awesome. when i watch a team play georgia tech at home in basketball, i want to see a dark color as the away team. to me, it's like they can go navy, but choose not to, and now that you've said navy isn't really a primary color, i understand, though disagree with the choice.

The Bengals road uniforms with the orange socks (granite they dont wear their orange socks with the black pants anymore) were in the top 5 current NFL uni's. The black socks with black pants does kinda suck but that par for the course in the current NFL (Ravens, Jags, Saints, etc.) They're a little much... but they're the Bengals; come on they're pretty cool. The orange plate around the names on the back is a sweet touch I believe. At least theyre trying to be different and fun... you have to respect that, they could be dull and boring like the Texans... but no one would ever complain about that.
