Carlos Dunlap had never seen a white Bengal tiger until he met Akere at the Cincinnati Zoo on Tuesday morning, dressed neck to shoe in his new, white and black-accented Color Rush uniform the Cincinnati Bengals will wear on Sept. 29 against the Miami Dolphins.
"This is going to be rare that the Bengals actually changed their color combinations," the Bengals defensive end said. "You know how they are about sticking to tradition, so this is going to be a new tradition I feel like."
Nike designed the uniforms, which feature black stripes on the shoulder pads and hips and the orange and black "B" on the chest.
