The Cincinnati Bengals are making a bold choice for their upcoming Thursday night road game against the Baltimore Ravens: they will wear the same uniform combination—white jerseys, white pants, black stripes, and black socks—that they wore in 2023 when Joe Burrow suffered his season-ending wrist injury in Baltimore.
Clearly, the team is “not superstitious,” as they return to the scene of the injury in the very same threads.
This uniform combination is by far the team’s most common, having been worn 19 times in franchise history. It is also their most “streakiest” combo:
-
The Bengals are currently riding a three-game winning streak while wearing this combination.
-
Before this current streak, the combo was associated with a six-game losing streak.
-
Prior to that, the team had a six-game winning streak in the uniform.
This will be the second time the Bengals have worn the combination this season. They previously wore it for their 17-16 victory at Cleveland in the season opener. Furthermore, the Bengals have worn this specific uniform for all four road playoff games in franchise history.
The question remains: Will the uniform’s current winning streak continue, or will the Ravens game signal a return to its streaky past?
