Anytime a jersey announcement is made, the real fans of the NFL and fans of a particular team immediately sit up.
In this case, the fans of the Cincinnati Bengals got some intriguing news recently regarding the team’s look for their Week 8 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles.
According to insider Ari Meirov, the team will wear their all-white uniforms and helmets when they host Philly at the end of October.

In all honesty, whenever a good team runs out of the tunnel in cool uniforms, the opposing team could be in for a long night.
The Eagles will hope that is not the case.
For Cincinnati, they are hoping for a bounce-back season after they finished 9-8 but missed the playoffs in 2023.
That was mainly because quarterback Joe Burrow suffered a broken wrist in November, and Cincinnati just couldn’t find a way to overcome his loss.
Now that he is healthy, the Pro Bowl quarterback will look to put his team back in Super Bowl contention like he did in both 2021 and 2022.
In what could be the last year of him throwing passes to Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins together, especially considering Chase wants a new deal and Higgins is playing on the franchise tag, he is going to want to make this year count.
It would not be surprising to see the Bengals sitting in first place in the AFC North and running out of the tunnel with their all-white jerseys on when they meet the Eagles midway through the year.
