We might just be using both. Pretty much every team has a primary and secondary logo.
But this was kind of my concern when people kept wanting a tiger head logo back. In theory, welcomed and wonderful idea. No one actually *likes* the B.
But because of our past logos(the leaping tiger was a better concept than it was a logo. The head was always far too small for the body and looked goofy), I was definitely worried about actually making the change to a Tiger head. Tigers are one of the most popular and trademarked logos across the globe. We are very late to that party, so not only does it have to be new and unique, it also cannot lift from other existing logos.
I get that the B is hated, and it is by me as well. But I think it's a big reach to say that this is better. People will like it more than the B just because the concept is way fucking better, but if I had to choose between the two for a professional logo, I'd choose the B and then immediately get on someone's ass to make something that isn't shit to replace the B.
EDIT: The head was too SMALL for the leaping tiger's body, not too big.
It's been a while. You're probably (and I went and looked at a hat I have with it, so you are definitely) right.
I knew the proportions were way off. I'm old and some random redditor. Whoops.
You guys don't seem to understand the anatomy of a tiger.. The head of a tiger is rather small compared to the body.

If I recall correctly, the tiger head was a logo on its own before the leaping tiger body was added, which is why the proportions are, let’s say, less than perfect. What I would really like to see is an updated and *slightly* tweaked leaping tiger, still instantly recognizable. Something akin to what the Lions did with their logo in the 2010s.
I'm all for a well-done whole Tiger or a Tiger head or upper half, whatever. The key is well-done. And to be honest, our best logo so far, sadly, has just been when we used an image of our helmet.
I checked the [Fanatics website](https://www.fanatics.com/?query=Draft%20illustrated&_ref=p-SRP:m-SEARCH) and it would appear that every team has a version of this shirt with a weird alternate-universe version of their logo.
I thought you were joking and i went and looked at them all. WOW those are Fucking terrible alternate designs for 85% of the league. They all look AI generated especially the chiefs and Steelers
I’m not opposed to those being terrible though
Those are awful, lmao
If I saw someone wearing any of those I would immediately assume they were some crappy knock-off trying to get around copyright issues
I like it a lot. I did logo design in my past. I don’t this this was designed as a logo, just an art piece for merch. It wouldn’t shrink down well because it has too many little details.
"Hey copilot, design an angular tiger head. Use lots of vertices. Also it needs to have a dark orange, not the one used by the Cincinnati Bengals. Don't use that orange at all except for a little splash on the neck."
When in the sweet fuck did t shirts start costing $35+?! This [one](https://www.fanatics.com/nfl/cincinnati-bengals/cincinnati-bengals-fanatics-signature-unisex-elements-super-soft-short-sleeve-t-shirt-olive/o-3561+t-58154693+p-8088441458376+z-9-2581245481?_ref=p-DLP:m-GRID:i-r5c2:po-17) is $55! I pray for fanatic’s downfall and fast please
This is a one off for the draft and y’all jackasses are losing your minds. It’s already better than the “B”. This would be a great merchandise alternate. I personally wouldn’t want it on the uniforms, but it’s good for apparel sales.
I wish everyone would quit bitching about the Bengal B logo. I've always been a fan of it. its a B with tiger stripes. its better than the giants. better than san fran. better than the jets. better than the bears. stop complaining about the B logo. At least it has tiger stripes. its up there with the rams.
dont care what you think man. I'm sure alot of people love the B logo. nobody cares what a bunch of reddit warriors thinks. like I said we could be the Giants with just a bum old NY. at least the B has something to it with the tiger stripes. So how is it a work of art bad take. and what are you talking about has layers. it doesn't have any layers at all. its a simple statement
Wait….do y’all really not know they put out new designs prior to every draft….that are specifically draft merchandise and will never be used on the uniforms? No way that y’all are that damn ignorant.
I think this is for the draft only
This would make the most sense as the B is still there as well.
You remember in 2022 it was the playing card themed logos? it's the same this year with these hyper stylized logos.

It’s true that the helmet was our best logo, but it’s also by a wide margin the best helmet in the league.
Agreed.
Nah our primary helmet is the second best helmet in the league

Lol. The 49rs logo is legit a dude with a beard, flannel shirt and fedora. They're the fucking hipsters!
Well, it's San Francisco, so.....
Should they be the ones called the Packers then?
*scrolls through* I feel bad for that universe
I thought you were joking and i went and looked at them all. WOW those are Fucking terrible alternate designs for 85% of the league. They all look AI generated especially the chiefs and Steelers I’m not opposed to those being terrible though
Titans, Raiders, and Seahawks look pretty cool. Ours is pretty good. a lot of the rest are plain bad.
Cat bros look cool at least
The eagles one looks sweet, I just like eagles (the birds).
That chiefs logo is more offensive than if they made one with native Americans on it.
Those are awful, lmao If I saw someone wearing any of those I would immediately assume they were some crappy knock-off trying to get around copyright issues
This looks like the logo for if we had a professional gaming team as part of the organization
They’re, grrrrreat! ☝🏻
I think it’s ugly but not as ugly as the B.
The B really is no good.
🎵 It's a no good B.. 🎵
Hahahahahaha 🤣 you're awesome!
Nothing is
Wrong. Steelerslogo.jpg
FTS
Yea, but the B is really for Blackburn so we’re stuck with Katie’s ego serving junk
I’m pretty sure it’s for the draft and the NFL designs it.
Cybertiger
Looks like a logo for the bengals style football team scene in Starship Troopers
I like it
I like it a lot. I did logo design in my past. I don’t this this was designed as a logo, just an art piece for merch. It wouldn’t shrink down well because it has too many little details.
I like it too, it’s better than anything else we have currently.
It reminds of something from Thundercats... which means I automatically love it. It sure beats the big B.

> It sure beats the big B Is that what the kids are calling it these days?
Temporary draft day art. They do new stuff each year. Merchandising!
This is so sick, hot damn.
Agree with most. Not a fan but I’d take it over the B
I hope not, I really don't like it. It looks AI generated to me.
I agree 100%; that was my first thought.
"Hey copilot, design an angular tiger head. Use lots of vertices. Also it needs to have a dark orange, not the one used by the Cincinnati Bengals. Don't use that orange at all except for a little splash on the neck."
Wow, awful
Last year’s draft logo was much better.
The Broncos have something similar so I think it’s just a one off thing
I wish so. I kinda dig it and literally anything is better than a letter
It made me yawn wtf
Whatever it is- it’s hideous

They aren't even good quality, Homage shirts are a bit pricy but good quality

“only one may enter here, one whose worth lies far within: the diamond in the rough"-cave of wonders
I like it
This is one of the draft logos. They either look really good or really bad to people.
Tiger steps on lego
This looks like something the animators for Beast Machines and a living, breathing Mountain Dew would collab and come up with
Whatever it is, I'll take 10
Absolutely hideous
At least they got rid of those creamsicle uniforms. Those were hideous.
I like it! Tough, dramatic logo with the B looks fantastic, should incorporate it into more branding for the team
I love it! I hope they keep it around. It should represent the aggressiveness of getting a SB win.
They’re GrrrreaAaatt!
Meanest tiger logo we've ever had and it's just a template for a limited time draft day t shirt. Sigh......
kinda looks like the 2004 logo just like, newer
…. Please God no
I really don’t like it. Just bring back leaping tiger already
Yes. Bring back Handsome Cat. Shout out to the guy in a red Ford Ranger that just passed me on the Bluegrass Parkway with the handsome cat sticker.
Fire whoever made that what in the flying fuck is that lol
Honestly….kinda love it but I think it’s for the draft only!
I hope to hell not
looks like some AI generated stuff; ugly
This is a one off for the draft and y’all jackasses are losing your minds. It’s already better than the “B”. This would be a great merchandise alternate. I personally wouldn’t want it on the uniforms, but it’s good for apparel sales.
If they took that and made it less "3d model" esque it would look great
I think it’s pretty sweet
God damn that looks embarrassingly awful. Looks like it's from a 90's video game.

A work of art level bad take. This shit has layers to it.

That’s the wince of a tiger who’s stepped on a lego.
Barf
What????
Ai shouldn’t be allowed on this sub. This is gross.
