With a few teams getting new jerseys this offseason, it’s only right to loop back to a familiar question — where do the Cincinnati Bengals rank?
The Bengals have the iconic helmets, though the jersey design itself has been a point of speculation for fans.

That’s a surprising ranking. While the helmet alone could carry the Bengals to a top-10 spot in the minds of most, fans have long requested the team consider getting a little more modern and doing away with things like the blocky shadows behind the numbers.

Regardless, the Bengals do seem to have one of the more polarizing jerseys in the NFL.
