How are David Sonny\'s Bengal unis different from the unis they wore before their last uni change? The black stripes in the orange look a little different and the shoulder stripes go more to the edge of the shoulder, but I can\'t see how that\'s not just a return back to an older style, and an ugly style at that! The discussion here drives me crazy when people complain about Cincy\'s uniforms just because of the sidebar on the jersey and the short pants stripe. I think that has been the best uni update in the NFL since it not only incorporates some of the past elements(Tiger stripes in orange stipes), but it also takes a very pleasant leap forward with a new number style and unique sleeve stripes that I find complement the entire outfit. When they made the change the team had just taken a big step forward on the field and the update seemed to reflect the manner and mentality of that Bengals team that was looking to write a brand new chapter in the history of the Bengals franchise. No rip intended on David\'s design, there\'s just no visible difference.[/quote] Go check out their last two uniforms. Neither of them had the abbreviated stripes angles towards the number, instead they wrapped all the way around the sleeve. Next, the sleeve numbers were in the position that was used in the first attempt at stripes in 1981, yet the stripes themselves came from the change in 1997. The alternate colored collar and sleeve bands comes from the modern uniform as does the B logo. Any more questions?[/quote] So, yeah, there's nothing really special. Got it!
