The Original 'C' Logo

The original 'C' logo was a simple, block-lettered design that was initially placed on a leather helmet. This design was a reflection of the collegiate-style uniforms popular at the time, as well as a nod to the University of Chicago, where the team initially played their home games. The 'C' logo Coloring Page today represents the enduring spirit of the franchise's original design.

As the Bears transitioned to plastic helmets in the late 1950s, the 'C' logo was incorporated into the shell, becoming a staple of the team's iconic uniform. The original block-style 'C' was replaced by a more stylized, cursive 'C' in the 1962 season, a design that would remain largely unchanged for over half a century.
