Put a Cap on It

For many college and professional football players, heads tend to stay covered during the game: once the helmet comes off, the hat goes on, and vice versa. Hats are a central part to both a football player's uniform, and to the devoted fan's outfit. Get the look by checking out some of these great hats created just for you by the Chicago Bears.   

Go with the Orange 

Orange is a very defining element, and the Bears are known for this bright color orientation. Stand out from all those Packers and Patriots fans by getting with the orange.

Get the Blues 

And I'm not talking about a box of Kraft Mac 'n Cheese. Navy blue is the second primary color of the Chicago Bears and the range of hat designs in this color are endless.

Whitey 

White hats are especially useful on a hat day, since white reflects sunlight and keeps your head cool. However, white colors seem to attract dirt and stains--handle bleach with care!

Something Different 

Want to stand out from the hat crowd a bit? In the mood for a little change from the 'ole blue cap? Add a little spice to your head with a zebra print hat.

Something Completely Different 

 If you're looking for a head accessory that shifts away from the streamline baseball cap, look no further! This Chicago Bears straw hat will definitely have heads turning at the next game.
