The Bears will honor Dick Butkus with a rare addition to their iconic uniform.
The team will wear a patch for the rest of the season honoring the Pro Football Hall of Fame linebacker who died Oct. 5 at his Malibu, Calif., home, at age 80. The navy patch is shaped like a football and is outlined in orange with white lacing. Butkus’ number 51 sits inside in the Bears’ jersey font.
