Show Me Your Chicago Bears Stuff.......
Well, our team is done for the year, I'm on the brink of burning my gear, and I am just out right depressed at the lack of football stuff on here.
So, lets start a thread that honors the past and (unfortunate) present of our Chicago Bears. I know there is not too many of us fans in here (maybe just 2 - 34swtns and myself), but lets show what we have.
We can use this as a support group and reminisce on the good ole days!!
Lets see what you have! :D

Re: Show Me Your Chicago Bears Stuff.......
The Bears have had several former Gators on their roster over the years, from Carl Brumbaugh back in the 30's, Chuck Hunsinger in the 50's, Rick Casares in the 60's, Neal Anderson and Wilber Marshall in the 80's, Trace Armstrong and Shane Matthews in the 90's, and Alex Brown today. (We won't mention Rex Grossman)
I have a Shane Matthews 1993 rookie jersey that might be game issued or game worn. It's hard to tell because Shane didn't play a lick in '93. I also have a 1994 Trace Armstrong with the 75 year patch. It appears to be game issued also.
I can't post the pics from my work computer but you can see them here:http://gatorcollector.com/football_jerseys.php

Just glad to see a thread on a team/player that doesn't look to be sponsored by the Eastern Seaboard Programming Network. Hope you get a ton of good Bears posts.

Cohiba - that's a beautiful piece! Looks like the auto's have help up very well. Do you have a list of the players that signed it?

Re: Show Me Your Chicago Bears Stuff.......
Now this is a thread I could get excited about.
Awesome vintage ball, cohiba! I've got a sweet reissue helmet signed by the '63 championship team I'll post later.
Here's a ball that's a little more recent. Signed by Neal Anderson, Gale Sayers and Sweetness.

Here is one of my favorites. Nothing special but its a personal ongoing project. I just started this and regret that I didn't have the 'name' back when I started collecting...would have loved to get the man Sweetness to tag this one.
Close to me because each sig has a cool story behind it.....

Re: Show Me Your Chicago Bears Stuff.......

OK, help me out with the sigs......I recognize Urlacher, Hester, Butkus, and Olsen. The others are......Forte and Mike Brown?
And this is the best I can do for a 'Fridge jersey. A 1986 retail authentic and merely a size 42........a mini-fridge.

Re: Show Me Your Chicago Bears Stuff.......
The Fridge generally wore a 50-52 but a veteran Bears collector once told me about owning a size 48 that Perry wore. Not beyond the realm of possibility, considering Walter wore a 42. The old Wilsons really stretched!

Awesome Hunter Orange jersey 34. Great photo match on it. Did that one come from game exclusives? I wish JO Sports would get in a full set of orange game used jerseys from Bears.
-
Re: Show Me Your Chicago Bears Stuff.......
Thanks, it's actually got a Game Exclusives holo-sticker on the back but it came with no paperwork.

Re: Show Me Your Chicago Bears Stuff.......
Congratulations.....we both have gamers from guys who might not even be with the Bears next year. Oh well.....at least both jerseys are awesome examples.
And as usual, the blacklight system comes through in stellar fashion to reveal the hidden details. I can't imagine that one dude who doubted the work that was done on the orange Urlacher can find much wrong with this one, (can't remember who it was.....oh well).
Keep 'em coming, Matt!

Re: Show Me Your Chicago Bears Stuff.......
Here are some old-school Bears jerseys from my durene collection that I hope you enjoy viewing:
#35-Jim Harrison - RB from the University of Missouri who played with the Bears from 1971-1974. This is a Wilson jersey.
#65-Randy Jackson - OT from the University of Florida who played with the Bears from 1967-1974 and was a college teammate of Heisman Trophy winner and famous coach Steve Spurrier. This is a Wilson jersey with the nameplate removed.
#53-Jim Purnell - LB from the University Wisconsin who played with the Bears from 1964-1968. This is a King O'Shea jersey that was originally long-sleeves but was cut and hemmed. This is from the pre-nameplate era (NFL teams did not add nameplates until 1970).
#64-Larry Horton - DL from the University of Iowa whose only season with Chicago was 1972. The lettering is sewn directly on the back of the jersey.

Those are definitely a rare item. You don't see those around very often.

Re: Show Me Your Chicago Bears Stuff.......
Nice jerseys. I got all tingly when I saw the 29. I figured that was an Adrian Peterson. But non the less, nice gear.
BTW - If anyone who reads this can come across an ADRIAN PETERSON GAME USED BEARS JERSEY I will pay you a sick amount of money for it! I have been on the hunt since day 1 and I cannot find one. I know there are some out there somewhere.

2007 Brian Urlacher Game Worn Cleats - Photomatched 09/14/08 vs. Carolina
I have searched EVERY game from 2007 & 2008 for pictures and video of Brian in this style of cleats. I found 1 game. Having a slight obsession with his gear I know what style cleats he wore from his rookie year to the present. In 2007 & 2008 he always wore Blade Pro D II's. These are Nike Assassin's. Seeing as though I only found 1 game with him in these cleats, plus they are not his traditional style, this leads me to believe these were made for him as a trial pair. A 1/1 so to speak. Only 1 pair made, and only worn in 1 game. I think that if there was more than one pair he would have worn them in at least 1 more of the 31 remaining games in the '07 and '08 seasons. I also like the fact that the 'NEXT FRAME' logo is upside down on the right tongue.

Re: Show Me Your Chicago Bears Stuff.......
That McMichael is sweet. I have never seen an older jersey with the sleeves cut and hemmed like that. Very cool piece.
Anyone know if the McMichael that was just up on Grey Flannel had the slleves altered like that?
-
Re: Show Me Your Chicago Bears Stuff.......
I just answered my own question. The one in GFC was a '90's jersey. What year is yours?
-
Re: Show Me Your Chicago Bears Stuff.......
That Mongo is at least a 1991 due to the NFL shield patch.
