CINCINNATI (WXIX) - The Cincinnati Bengals officially announced Tuesday that this season’s uniforms will look a little different after hinting to fans Monday on social media.

Through riddles, rhymes, and clues, the Bengals’ social media team did not fail to hype up fans for the big change.

Monday’s series of social media teases

The Bengals’ social media account teased its fans on Monday with hints here and there about a possible switch in their uniforms.

According to the team’s Instagram story, the Bengals posted a video of a piece of paper addressed to NFL Operations. The subject line reads: “Request to reclassify white uniform combo.”

“To whom it may concern, we at the Cincinnati Bengals beseech you to allow the opportunity to wear our New Stripes White Uniform combo with our White Bengals Helmet,” the letter said.

The person in the video later secured the letter in a manila envelope and threw it in the outgoing mail bin. However, there was no postage on it.
