Throwback: The truth about George Halas and the NFL’s ban on black players

It happened at the team’s 100-year celebration event in June where, to honor a century of Chicago Bears football, the organization announced a new throwback jersey for the 2019 season. The jersey has a unique place in Bears history: it was worn for only one year, 1936. It looks nearly identical to other Bears jerseys throughout the 1930s with the key stylistic difference being four stripes on each shoulder.

The team’s hidden history-making moment came when Kyle Fuller and Tarik Cohen modeled the new uniforms for everyone in the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center.
