The Onion: Bengals’ Uniforms No Longer Look Stupid Now That Team Is Good

Posted by pacmanxu on November 28, 2009

From our friends at The Onion: This is hilarious.  While I don’t completely agree that the uniforms are hideous, it had to be said.

I look at the Bengal uniforms kinda like how a mother looks at her ugly baby. It's a uniform only the hometown can love.

By wearing their brightly colored orange-and-black tiger-print uniforms during a victory over the Steelers, the division-leading 7-2 Cincinnati Bengals made their team gear appear far less stupid Sunday. “The Bengals uniforms during the ’90s, and the ones from their 11-loss season in 2008, looked really stupid, like they were wearing carpet ripped straight out of a discount strip club,” analyst Chris Mortenson said during an ESPN radio broadcast Monday. “But now that they’re on top of the AFC North, you might even go so far as to say that their uniforms are classic. I’m even starting to think that the one dumb striped panel going down the leg isn’t so godawful anymore.” When discussing the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ current red-and-pewter jerseys versus their old orange-and-white uniforms, however, Mortenson concluded that, in either version, the team “has always looked like shit.”
