Report: Bengals to Unveil Second Helmet For 2022 Season
Cincinnati got new uniforms last season. Could a new helmet be next?
JAMES RAPIEN

CINCINNATI — The Bengals will unveil a second helmet in the near future according to Ryan Holmes, who serves as the team's director of corporate partnerships.

“It’s kind of tied to another announcement we’re going to have around a second helmet, so kind of a new helmet tied to our uniforms,” Holmes said via LinkNKY.com. “We launched the uniforms last year. Our fans have been itching for an alternate helmet. The league (NFL) approved that.”

Fans have been clamoring for a white tiger striped helmet for the past year. The NFL changed the rule last summer and now every team is allowed to have an alternate helmet.

That means the Bengals will be allowed to create a white tiger helmet to go with their new white uniforms.

Fans have asked for this change for years and not because they don't like the Bengals' current helmets. Most believe a white helmet with black stripes would look on Joe Burrow and the rest of the team, especially with their all white uniforms.

Yes, the white helmet with black stripes is a fan favorite. But these are still the Bengals don't forget. Who knows what nonsense they'll pull....

Note: the new alternate helmets will be unveiled tomorrow morning at 10am EST. Jessie Bates is modeling it. Make of that what you will.

Seeing some additional comments online today about the Bates situation. Supposed "insiders" saying that there are no signs Bates intends to play under the tag and there is no movement on the contract. Sure hope not, but if Dax is the real deal then Bates may be cutting his own throat.

This is nothing new. He was quoted a couple of weeks back as telling friends this. I posted this back on May 16th...

Bengals safety Jessie Bates has no intentions of playing under franchise tag, per a person close to the situation. He's not expected to attend OTAs or report to training camp.
