Bengals to wear Color Rush jerseys in season opener vs. Colts in Indianapolis

Dave Clark | Cincinnati Enquirer

The Cincinnati Bengals announced that the team will wear Color Rush jerseys in their season opener against the Indianapolis Colts on Sept. 9.

Some on social media seem confused though, and were under the impression that the NFL and/or FOX were doing away with the Color Rush.

In April, CBSSports.com's John Breech explained anticipated Color Rush changes:

The NFL's Color Rush program could be undergoing a slight change in 2018, but make no mistake, the monochrome uniforms will be around next season. League sources told CBSSports.com that current plan is to give teams more "flexibility" in regards to their Color Rush uniforms in 2018. This means that, instead of Thursday, NFL teams could end up wearing their Color Rush uniform for a Sunday game or a Monday game, if that's what they prefer. Teams could also still potentially end up wearing them on Thursdays.

The Bengals also Tweeted their 2018 jersey schedule, asking fans which their favorite is.

I don't know if there's a bigger upgrade in pro sports than the Bengals' normal uniforms to their "white tiger" color rush ones.



The white look should be their permanent uniforms. They're awesome. https://t.co/xS2dYTAI7H — Mitro's on 🔥 (@AndyGlockner) August 28, 2018

I thought I heard the NFL was done w/ color rush unis, do teams just get to choose now if/when they want to wear them? — Kevin McCune (@KevinMcCune) August 28, 2018

Think we are in the minority, but I loved the color rush unis. — Mo Egger (@MoEgger1530) August 28, 2018
