Logo of the National Football League’s Chicago Bears, used from 1954 until 1973. Under owner, coach and founder George “Papa Bear” Halas, the Bears enhanced their rough and tumble “Monsters of The Midway” image in this era, playing tough defense and a physical style. The Bears won the NFL title in 1963, riding the league’s most dominant defense that was coached by George Allen to a title game win over the New York Giants. The Bears have more members (26) in the Pro Football Hall of Fame than any other franchise, and from this era Mike Ditka, Gale Sayers and Dick Butkus are all considered by many to be the best at their positions in league history.
