History of the Chicago Bears
With their franchise granted in 1920 to the team then known as the Decatur Staleys, the Chicago Bears are one of the NFL’s oldest and most storied franchises. After relocating to Chicago in 1921, the team adopted the Bears name in 1922 — a nod to the city’s baseball team, the Cubs.
The Bears went on to win nine NFL championships, including a Super Bowl title in the 1985 season, a season defined by a legendary defense and standout players. Names like George Halas, Walter Payton, and Mike Ditka became synonymous with toughness, innovation, and leadership.
For over a century, the Bears have built a legacy of hard-nosed football and historic moments that helped shape the modern NFL.3
