It's officially a "uniform game" for Cincinnati. Although the Bearcats wore these helmets (sans decal) last week against Miami, and the jerseys against Toledo, this Saturday will be the first time wearing this combination.
Here's a look, naturally from Adidas:

11W's Nicholas Jervey was able to pinpoint why that stripe down the center seems so familiar:
It makes sense, too, since the bearcat, like a skunk, is a weasel. As for the Ohio decal, I sense it's something along the lines of their whole "bUCkeye state" thing.
Thoughts?
