As the saying goes, you only get one chance to make a first impression. And the very first such impression teams will make on their fans in Week 1 will come when they run out of the tunnel, fresh threads and all. One team making a major early impression with its gear? The Cincinnati Bearcats. The Bearcats are opening their season under the lights against the Nebraska Cornhuskers at Arrowhead Stadium, and they will wear a uniform feature appropriate for the special occasion: script lettering on the team's helmets.
