Signatures of Legends

The football is adorned with the autographs of 32 members of the 1963 World Champion Chicago Bears, along with six players from the 1964 team, likely signed during the training camp before the 1964 season. Among these signatures are some of the most revered names in football history:

• George Halas: The iconic Head Coach and Owner, a true pioneer of the game.
• Paddy Driscoll: Assistant Coach and a Hall of Famer.
• George Allen: The mastermind Defensive Coordinator.
