BengalszoneBilly Posted March 11, 2004 Report Share Posted March 11, 2004 CINCINNATI BENGALSPaul Brown chose this nickname for Cincinnati’s 1968 AFL expansion team because there had been earlier football teams in the city called the Bengals. The elder Bengals were members of the AFL in 1937, competed as an independent club in 1938, then played in a new AFL from 1939-41 before the league again folded.Now how many of us knew that!?!
