Born and raised in Illinois, watching the Bears every week they are on no matter what. I once broke a bone during the bears game (arguing a call) and didn’t go to the hospital/doctor until the game was concluded (at my choice) I have a taped copy of the 1985-1986 Super bowl. I will be a Bears fan for life no matter what happens
I came home from the hospital wearing a Payton Jersey and since then, I’ve gone through “confirmation” by traveling from Dallas, Tx to Chi-City to see late season games in freezing weather. Bear Down!
Born and Raised…Ain’t Nothing Better!!! DA BEARS BABY!!
a bears win takes my stress away! that’s why stick with bears all the way! =)
I grew up in chicago in the 80′s, how couldn’t you be a bears fan?
Been a Bears fan ever since going to Platteville, WI every year for spring training! What a great time that was!
well growin up in the chi definatly helped but really the reason for my love of the bears has got to be the lore behind the franchise. first off they have been around since the beginning, the names of so many hall of famers etched in my mind from Red Grange to ditka to butkus to payton and everyone in between. plus the underdog attitude we have had since the 90′s i can relate…. shit, they even used to play at Wrigley field how awesome is that? Monsters of the Midway baby DAAAAAAAAAAA BEARS 4LIFE!
I played football from 4th grade on. Growing up in Idaho, there was no local pro team to root for. Many of my peers rooted for the Broncos and Seahawks because of geographical proximity, but I never felt drawn to either. I wasn’t a typical jock kid. I was always a little…different. I was more drawn to punk and new wave culture off the field. Needless to say, that wasn’t all that popular with my teammates, and once the pads came off I was often on my own. Then, along came the ’85 Bears and Jim McMahon, the Punky QB. I was already a huge fan of Sweetness (the greatest player to ever play the game), but the cast of characters that surrounded him in that era made me absolutely fall in love with the Monsters of the Midway. I loved the swagger, and the unorthodox attitude that team exuded. I dug deep into the history of the organization, and everything I found made me more and more proud to call myself a Bears fan. These days, I still wear my Walter Payton signature Roos. I’ve worn two pairs into the ground, have one in good condition that I wear almost daily, and I have another brand new pair still in the box. They would look great with a Bench Mob t-shirt! I bleed navy and orange, living and dying every week of the season with Soldier Field’s Army. BEAR DOWN! Check out the Rally Pics I invented that used to be posted weekly on chicagobears.com in my Facebook photos!
My baby blanket was a bears blanket. My first teddy bear was staley. Been a bears fan forever!
My dad was a fan when he was growing up, and I never really knew anything about football until a couple of years ago and I have been hooked since then! I went to a game in Chicago, which was a big deal, considering I live all around Giants and Jets fans. We hand a sign out of my window for the whole season, and we listen to every single game on the radio because they are rarely on TV here. I am a true bears fan.
I became a Bears fan because my family was always rooting for the Bears! It was pro-football all the way in our house. No college teams.
I have a picture of my mom in a bears tshirt while pregnant with me. I am proud to have it framed on my dresser. Il make sure my future kids get the same picture!
Been a Walter Payton fan,since the 1st time I seen him run w/the ball in ’81. Heard a lot of ridicule growing up in So Cal and being a Bear fan. But……24/7 365,Win Lose or Tie, I will BEAR DOWN w/ every last breath, til I die.
started out just being an Urlacher fan, and that quickly grew to being a straight up Bears Fanatic…I think I have the largest collection of Bears stuff in Canada. BEAR DOWN!!
I became a Bears fan when my parents would race home from church on Sundays to watch games. My grandparents used to brag about the fact that cold games were the most fun thanks to electric socks! Now I am a season ticket holder. Bear Down!
I came out of the womb singing “Bear down, Chicago Bears!” Born in November of 1984 just to witness the greatest defense in NFL history. From Peyton to Forte, McMahon to Cutler, and Singletary to Urlacher not a day has gone by in my life where I haven’t been rooting for Da Bears.
You don’t become a Bears fan, you’re born one.
Became a Bears fan in 1982, when
I was born! My grandfather and mother were Bears fans, my grandpa having followed them since the years of the NFL title reigns of Halas. Bears fandom was my inheritance!
I been watching the bears since attending my first Bears game at Soilder Field against the Vikings In 2004. I grew into a big fan in a few years after since. I have learned more about the Bears History and its is Historic. So, I have admit that even tho i wasn’t born into being a bears fan, I been a huge fan of them since 7 years ago. BearDown, Chicago Bears!!!
I was born and raised a Bears fan. Always have been always will be. :)
I was born and was raised a Chicago Bears fan, always have had a passion for football and hating the Packers :)
I was born into a bears fan family and have been a bears fan since. Win or loose orange and blue
I was born and raised a Bears fan by my dad! I can literally remember when I was a kid and waking up Sunday morning to watch football. It was like as normal as waking up and heading to church. And even though my parents got a divorce and what not. It was still a routine me and my brother had kept going– Sundays watching the game. Then as time progressed we would watch Monday night football… and continued into my adulthood. Getting one of these t-shirts would be GREAT!!!!
And good luck to everyone!
These shirts are awesome, especially love the bear down one. I sing the fight song aloud every time the bears score!!!
I forgot to say…my husband is from Chicago and I didn’t have a favorite team so I joined him in rooting for Bears! Growing up in VA there was no local team. I always played as the Bears on TechmoBowl video game so it was a natural fit. Been a die hard fan now for 11 years,
When I was about 3 years old, I found a videotape of Walter doing what he did best, and ever since then, I have been a die hard bears fan. Whether it be Devin Hester, Urlacher, Singletary, Ditka, Butkus, or Sayers. I love the Chicago Bears. Born and raised as a fan. And always will be one. Hell as a wallpaper artist I love making Devin Hester Wallpapers. :)
I became a Bears fan when I was five years old and I saw them single handedly dominate the Pats in Super Bowl XX! Great to see that team honored again recently by President Obama
when i was little i thought they had the coolest uniforms and helmets. Ive been a die hard fan since then!
I was 10 years old, my family is all Vikings fans and I was in awe of Sweetness!
Being a bears fan is in the blood. Only had three TV channels growing up and always got the bears in the first game and then lamonica andthe raiders or Dawson and the chiefs in game two.
I’m a born and raised PROUD FAN of DA BEARS now here in southern Cali where all of the teams SUCK!!!!!!! Especially what I like to call them, the FLAKERS and KoBITCH!! He doesn’t compare to the G.O.A.T, his airness MICHAEL JORDAN!! The only good FLAKER, is the zenmaster Phil Jackson!! I was only 8 years old for superbowl 20 and my friends and I would try to do the shuffle in class. Some teachers even let us!!! I was also just one of the few lucky kids who was able to get our parents to buy us a sweetness jersey!! =) No matter where I reside, I’ll ALWAYS be a diehard fan of DA BEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =)
