As the Chicago Bears celebrate their centennial season, they continue to honor the traditions of decades past. Every home game this season — preseason and regular season — has honored one of the 10 decades of Bears football.
When the Bears host the New York Giants on Sunday (noon CT) at Soldier Field, the team will honor the 1960s Bears, which featured Hall of Famers Dick Butkus and Gale Sayers.
The Bears will don 1960s-era helmets with a white “C” and gray face mask. Those helmets made their debut in 1962, according to the Bears.
This isn’t the first throwback the Bears have worn this season. They wore their classic 1936 uniform against the Minnesota Vikings on Sept. 29, and they’ll wear them one final time against the Dallas Cowboys on Dec. 5.
