The Cincinnati Bengals received mostly unanimous praise for the reveal of the orange pants players will wear with alternate jerseys this season.

Mostly.

Elsewhere in the state and in the AFC North, the Cleveland Browns apparently weren't too thrilled with the rollout.

Cleveland's Twitter account shared the following caption over a picture of Myles Garrett standing over Joe Burrow: "Just thinking about our orange pants."

It's all just fun and games on social media when it comes to things like this. But there were plenty of Bengals fans who pointed out that their team did the white alternate jerseys first before the Browns rolled out their own take.

Coincidentally, the Bengals revealed that they would wear those orange pants on December 19 this season for the "Stripe The Jungle" event at Paycor Stadium -- when those Browns come to visit.
