🐻 The Chicago Bears Helmet Story
A founding NFL franchise, the Bears put the wishbone "C" on their navy helmets in 1962 — in white at first, switching to the now-famous orange-outlined version in 1973. With nine total league championships, almost every era of Bears football has a helmet to commemorate it, from leatherhead-style 1936 throwbacks to the Super Bowl XX shufflin' crew.
🧠 Collector's Trivia
- George Halas founded the franchise as the Decatur Staleys in 1920 and was involved with the team for 63 years.
- The Bears' nine league championships trail only the Packers' thirteen.
- The 1985 Bears' "Super Bowl Shuffle" was recorded before they had even clinched the Super Bowl.
