The Bengals unveiled their New Stripes, debuting a fresh, clean and modern uniform design with elements that unite the team's past and future.
"Our fans have wanted new uniforms for many years, and today represents the start of an exciting new era in Bengals history," said Bengals Director of Strategy and Engagement Elizabeth Blackburn. "Our new uniforms are bold, sleek and iconic. We designed them to be recognizable and timeless, like the Bengals helmet."
This marks the Bengals' first major uniform change in 17 years, and the fourth significant uniform redesign in team history. The new design is the result of a multi-year process in which the team worked closely with Nike. One element that remained unchanged was the Bengals' iconic striped helmet, which debuted 40 years ago.
"Utilizing the fan-favorite, flooded-white Nike Color Rush uniform as the base, our goal was to modernize the Bengals' uniform as a bold, aggressive and timeless design," according to Nike. "We observed real-life Bengal tigers in motion and redrew the uniform's stripes to mirror the tiger's movements while stalking its prey. The result is a faster on-field expression for one of the league's most distinctive uniforms."
The New Stripes collection includes white, black and orange jerseys with three styles of pants. The stripe pattern on the shoulders of the jerseys was simplified to create a bold design in addition to the removal of the color blocks.
The design features "Bengals" written across the chest, while the legacy of Paul Brown, the team's founder and first head coach and general manager, is honored with a subtle signature detail inside the back neck of the jersey.
The jersey numbers are classic with a twist, with inspiration drawn from the Bengals' uniforms of the 1980s. The team preserved the outline of the numbers, while adding a sharp angle to mimic the modern design of Paul Brown Stadium and the claw marks of a ferocious Bengal tiger. And in keeping with a sleek and simpler thematic, the stroke from the nameplate was removed.
Fans can purchase the new jerseys at the Bengals Pro Shop and online at shop.bengals.com.
