The Cincinnati Bengals boast a storied 50-year history that began in 1968 when they joined the American Football League (AFL) as an expansion team. After the 1970 merger with the NFL, decades of struggle ensued before the Bengals emerged as title contenders in the 1980s. An absolute highlight were the back-to-back Super Bowl appearances in Super Bowl XVI in 1982 and Super Bowl XXIII in 1989. Led by quarterback Ken Anderson and running back Ickey Woods' iconic "Ickey Shuffle" touchdown celebration, Cincinnati electrified fans. Though they narrowly missed the championship, these epic battles against the San Francisco 49ers remain unforgotten. Further milestones were the playoff runs in the 2000s under quarterback legends Jon Kitna and Carson Palmer. Unforgettable was also A.J. Green's Hail Mary touchdown against the Baltimore Ravens in 2021 - one of the most iconic moments in recent Bengals history. With their distinctive team colors black, orange and white, the Cincinnati Bengals have evolved into a beloved brand. Whether the classic jerseys or modern "New Threads" looks - the official collection has Bengals fans worldwide swooning.
