Quote:To commemorate its 50th season of professional football, Cincinnati Bengals are going to break from a long-standing stance and honor former players in Paul Brown Stadium throughout the year.

No formal team Hall of Fame or ring of honor will be created, but the players will be recognized during halftime of each regular-season home games.

Like it did for its 40th anniversary, the club will hold a vote through its website for fans to select the organization's top 50 players. This season, however, selected media will also vote on the players to make the top 50. The vote will run from April 20 through June 15. The final list will be revealed before the start of the season.

The players selected will be the top 50 vote-getters, rather than by position.

Other alumni who were not part of the top 50 also be recognized during the season.

Season-ticket holders will also be recognized by forming the "tunnel" through which players will run out onto the field.
The club also have a new logo will be on display in the stadium, on the playing field and with a patch worn by the players
There are no plans for the club to wear "throwback" uniforms during the season.

The Bengals began play in 1968 as a member of the American Football League and merged into the National Football League in 1970.
