I’m pretty sure I’m the only native born New Zealand Bengals fan. So I couldn’t believe my luck when my wife found this in a thrift store at Mount Maunganui. Kids size, little big for my oldest 3 year son so will be worn on game days for a few seasons yet!
Can anyone give me an idea on how old it is? ChatGPT seems to think 1990 – 1994 but I’m never sure when to trust that.

The stadium at the bottom is old Riverfront. They demolished it in 2003 I think. I can’t make out any of the numbers on the players from your photos. That would help date it too. But for sure it’s 1990s era.
Also, Nutmeg Mills is defunct. They were a big brand for sports gear in the late 80s and all of the 90s though.
Found a cool history of Nutmeg Mills, they’ve made sports teams clothes since the 80s, good stuff! WHO DEY!!
Early 90’s is my memory of that, which would support ChatGPTs guess.
Saw another, similar ish “nutmeg mills” sweatshirt on Etsy saying it was from 1993.
Seems like your question has been answered. But dang what a find and halfway around the world at that! Who dey friend!
I HAD IT. 1991.
Wrong… also from the mount, you find that at the markets today?
That’s really cool! I wonder if you could get it made into a pillow or something when your kids grow out of it? Someone even had a childhood T-shirt framed for me when I was older and long grown out of it.
Sick stuff
Might not be the only one here. I’m in Tauranga and love the Bengals.
I think it was 1990 not a 100%
