However, the logo that appeared on the home jersey had a white oil drop, on a dark orange field, with the team name written in deep blue. The logo that appeared on programs and promotional material remained the same. In the 1975–76 season, the jersey was changed to a blue base with orange trim. These jerseys also featured the player numbers high on the shoulders, rather than on the upper sleeve. About halfway through the season, though, the player names made their appearance, since the Oilers had played exclusively in Edmonton. For the first few games of the 1972 season, player names were not displayed on the uniform rather the word "ALBERTA" was written in that space. The original 1972 design featured the now-traditional colours of blue and orange, but reversed from their more familiar appearance in later seasons, orange being the dominant colour and blue used for the trimming. During that year, a then-unique uniform design was introduced. The team did not discard their Cleveland-like uniforms until 1981. The Cincinnati Bengals were unique in the NFL as they did not have uniform numbers on the players sleeves until the 1980 season. The Bengals' team colors were orange, black, and white, and their helmets were a similar shade of orange, with the only variations being the word "Bengals" in block letters on either side of the helmet and no stripe on the helmet. The Cleveland Browns' team colors were brown, orange, and white, then they changed to white, black, and orange, and their helmets were solid orange with a white dorsal stripe over the crest. So after the firing, Paul Brown packed up all his equipment, which he then used for his new team in Cincinnati. When Paul Brown was fired by Art Modell, Brown still owned the equipment used by Cleveland.

When the team debuted in 1968, the Bengals' uniforms were modeled after the Cleveland Browns. The numbers on the white jerseys were black, but wer In 1990, the uniform design changed to black helmets, silver pants, and either black or white jerseys. They switched from black to red jerseys in 1971, and the club began to wear silver pants in 1978.Ī prototype white helmet was developed for the team prior to the 1974 season but was never worn. At first, the falcon crest logo was also put on the jersey sleeves, but it was replaced by a red and white stripe pattern four years later. They wore white pants and either black or white jerseys. Although the gold was later taken out, the white remains to this day. These colors represented the two college rival schools in the state of Georgia rival schools Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (White and Gold) and the Georgia Bulldogs (Red and Black). In the center of the helmet was a center black stripe surrounded by two gold stripes and two white stripes. When the team debuted in 1966, the Falcons wore red helmets with a black falcon crest logo.
