I grew up in New England so I'm sure that effects my opinion on the team leaving versus fans who grew up in Cincinnati. I'm assuming local resident fans would have a sense of pride if a winning team represented the area that they grew up in. I'm not sure how the whole keeping the team name thing works but If they left Cincinnati and moved to another city and keep the Bengals name logo and helmets the same I would still root for them and not care to much what city they played in even tho it would be weird. I think it would be weird rooting for a new team in Cincinnati with a different name ,uniforms, and no history, like and expansion team. Like if I was a Rams fan when the Rams left Saint Louis for L.A. I would just become an L.A. Rams fan because that's still my team with the same logo, history and players.
