The Chicago Bears will celebrate their 100th season in 2019, and just revealed the logo they will use to tie it all together:

And this is neat, too:

You can buy tickets to the 100th Anniversary Celebration weekend (next June 7-9th) tomorrow at noon presumably at this link here. Here’s some more details about the event:
The Bears are the only team in the NFL celebrating their centennial at the same time the league celebrates its 100th year in existence. I imagine the Bears and the NFL will have jersey patches commemorating the 100-year anniversary, much like they did in 1994 when the league was celebrating its 75th year.
Not that we want to look forward to next year already … but I am a little curious about how things could play out. After all, we saw the Green Bay Packers open up their 100th season with a Sunday night barn-burner against the Bears. Could Chicago return the favor in 2019? That would be neat. Unless the NFL tweaks the schedule rotation, the Bears will play 2019 home games against the Cowboys, Giants, Chiefs, Chargers, and whichever NFC South team finishes in the same spot in the standings as them, in addition to NFC North foes. There could be plenty of potential primetime-worthy matchups to showcase the Bears in their centennial season.
But hopefully, the Bears will open the 2019 season celebrating more than their centennial.
