The Uni Watch Design Challenge: Let's Update the Cincinnati Bengals’ Uniform

There are good-looking teams, there are bad-looking teams, and then there are the Cincinnati Bengals, who exist in a stylistic universe all their own.

Where to begin? There are the white side panels on the jerseys, which have never made any sense. There are the clownish stripes on the pants, which look sort of like a tiger's tail (if a tiger had two tails, one on each thigh). There are the assorted brutal uniform combos, like solid black and orange over black.

And that's not even counting the NFL's most polarizing helmet design, which looks like either a tiger's head or a Halloween outfit, depending on your point of view.
