- If you love the Chicago Bears and their colorful history, then you're going to love this terrific two-minute video by NFL Films which chronicles the uniform color history of the Bears franchise from its founding in Decatur Illinois as the Decatur Staleys in 1920 to the modern era in magnificent New Soldier Field. Narrated by Scott Graham, one of the great voices of NFL Films, this video features three uniform history experts: Joe Horrigan who is VP Communications and Exhibits at the Pro Football Hall of Fame where he has worked for more than 35 years; Michael MacCambridge, author of "America's Game: The Epic Story of How Pro Football Captured A Nation" and many other books as well as editor of the massive "ESPN College Football Encyclopedia"; and Scott Sillcox, sports uniform historian.
If you are a huge Bears fan, you might be interested to know that the 12 pieces of original artwork used to create the Bears' poster -- the actual hand-painted watercolor paintings -- are available for sale at Heritage Sports Art www.HeritageSpo... . When you watch this NFL Films video, you will see 4 or 5 of the 12 actual painted uniforms -- and you can actually own that original artwork!

Bears are one of the NFLs Great Franchise's in History
IKR I think they're still in the top 5 or at least 10 for total championships. I wanna say after GB but Patriots and Chiefs are making gap smaller. no homo.
Classic uniforms! Best in the NFL
JK 64 Jesus, wtf was that? Loosen your panties lol
I'm so happy and proud to be bears fan for life. They have the best uniforms in NFL history.

Thank You so very much for posting this wonderful uniform history of the NFL. I LOVE IT.
yeah the Bears have Always been a popular NFL franchise the Chicago Bulls took over Chicago in the Michael Jordan era but the Bears always where still known
The bears unifroms is navy blue Burnt orange and white
Bears have best uniforms in the NFL.
Neusa Correa some of the best yes
one last thought on the Bears uniform colors The Blue is like a different blue then say the Broncos blue looks more purple and the cowboys blue looks more navy and the chargers blue looks more faded blue the Bears have like a blue only they can differentiate from all other NFL teams to me when I first saw them I thought they where blackish brownish color but now I realize they are actually like a midnight blue
beautiful navy blue

Is it illegal to have the felt stripes now?
I don’t understand something, there’s no blue in the current bears logo, so where did the blue come from?
It's a very dark navy; I used to watch them on black and white TV growing up and just assumed the unis were black.

Hi Ungar to the Max - Nice to see you back again with some comments. My answer would be that when the team started in 1920, the fledgling NFL teams didn't have logos - they only had colors. The logo(s) came long after the colors. So perhaps your question is - when and why did George Halas choose orange and blue as the team colors? I'm sure the answer is out there somewhere, but I don't know it off the top of my head. Maybe someone else can weigh in on this one.
Thanks - Scott
I needed to remind myself why Halas chose orange and blue - here's what Wikipedia says:
"In 1922, Halas changed the team name from the Staleys to the Bears. The team moved into Wrigley Field, which was home to the Chicago Cubs baseball franchise. As with several early NFL franchises, the Bears derived their nickname from their city's baseball team (some directly, some indirectly - like the Bears, whose young are called "cubs"). Halas liked the bright orange-and-blue colors of his alma mater, the University of Illinois, and the Bears adopted those colors as their own, albeit in a darker shade of each."
Thx Scott
This color or blue has always been a bit confusing to me...In the 1950's and 60's, if you watch any film of the Bears, the uniform colors, even close up, appear to be BLACK....The shade of blue must be so dark that it is hard to distinguish, but for years I thought it was a black jersey....With some orange, of course...If they actually WERE black, man, they would look menacing...I always liked their uniforms...
keith rissolo yeah, that would be bengals then
I always thought they should experiment with black and orange, I bet most of the fans would be thrilled - finally, Darth Vader in Soldier Field!
The uniforms were so close to black but I knew it wasn't black, if anything I thought it was a dark purple lol.
I think the Chicago Bears would look allot better if they dropped the C and put there Grizzly Bear logo on the helmet.
I don’t understand the bears jerseys are blue when their logo is orange
Contrast?
They aren't just Colors they are The Simpsons
Please do away with that baseball logo. Use the bear claw
3089280288 I agree, their current logo looks identical to the Cinncinati Reds logo. They really should switch to the Bear Head logo or the bear claw
@@ungartothemax20166that style of C actually got it's start at u of chicago football. It was stolen from anyone who had a C in their towns name. But its history is cemented in Chicago football history regardless of where others went with the logo.
The Bear's "C" is not as symmetrical as the Cincinnati Red's "C".... there is a slight difference but you have to look closely
laughing stock of the nfc north
Ivanka2024 for POTUS that will the change this season o yeah one more thing 26-14 wde
