The Cincinnati Bengals are a Professional Football team based in Cincinnati, Ohio. They are currently members of the North Division of the American Football Conference (AFC) in the National Football League (NFL). Their first two seasons, 1968 and 1969, were as an American Football League franchise. They joined the NFL as part of the 1970 AFL-NFL Merger, which had actually been agreed to in 1966. When Paul Brown started the team, he named the team the "Bengals" in order of another professional football team that was in Cincinnati before. The city's zoo also had a rare white "Bengal Tiger" and thus the name was born. The logo today consists of the letter 'B' with the orange and black stripes of atiger. |
