The club was founded in Decatur, Illinois, in 1919[5], and moved to Chicago in 1921. Along with the Arizona Cardinals, it is one of only two remaining extant franchises since the NFL’s founding. The team played home games at Wrigley Field on Chicago’s North Side through the 1970 season.

The stadium is located next to Lake Michigan, and was recently remodeled in a modernization intended to update stadium amenities while preserving a historic Chicago structure.

The club’s first logo was introduced in the early 1950s as a black bear on top of a football. They kept this until 1962, when the Bears trademark ‘C’ logo was first introduced.[35]

The change in their logo from the black bear was due to the addition of logos on helmets, which pro football teams started adding in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Unlike some NFL franchises that have had many different looks over time, the Bears have kept the wishbone ‘C’ for over 40 years.

In 1974, the team decided to keep the same white ‘C’ logo but to change the color of it from white to orange with a white trim. This is the current logo; however, the club has since introduced alternative logos, including a black bear inside of the orange wishbone ‘C’, introduced in 1995, and an orange bear head, introduced in 1999.
