NFL Uniforms: Best combination each team wore in 2019

Best AFC North uniforms
Cincinnati Bengals: Orange Jerseys
I still can’t believe Cincinnati only wore these once last season. I give them credit for contrasting the bright orange with white pants. Black pants might have offset the brightness of the jerseys. By using two bright articles of clothing, it reduces the brightness perception of the orange. I’m not a fan of the number font, but the rest of the uniform checks out.
Cleveland Browns: All-Browns
It’s tough to make brown and orange look good. Cleveland still hasn’t really done that yet, but their all-brown threads seemed to be the best of the bunch. The style is kind of boring, though the orange looks electric on the brown backdrop.
On paper, I might’ve gone with one of their primary uniforms, but there were a couple of aspects of them that were just weird. (Who puts their name down their pants stripe?)
Baltimore Ravens: Purple Color Rush
These are just like their normal all-purple threads, except gold and white are basically reversed. The most notable difference is the gold numbers, which complement the purple nicely. It’s also just the right amount of gold; too much and the uniforms would be a mess of colors. These get the job done.
Pittsburgh Steelers: Black-and-Gold Homes
Sometimes, the best looks are the basic looks. The Steelers accomplish that with their sleek, modern design on their normal home uniforms. There isn’t too much “gold” — unlike their Color Rush — and there’s enough white to complement the logo on the helmet. The curvature of the numbers is a bit strange, but that’s about it with these good-looking threads.
