NO. 02 · HOW TO CHECK ONE

Dating Bears gear

Check the color of the C: a white wishbone C points to 1962-73 and an orange one to 1974 or later. GSH on the sleeve means 1984 or later.

2000s tells

  • Reebok labels and NFL Equipment branding on jerseys and sideline gear from 2002, and on a few teams' jerseys from 2001.
  • Pro Player tags stop by 2001, when the brand was liquidated. Original Starter-company pieces predate its 1999 bankruptcy.
  • The NFL shield: the 2008 redesign cut the stars from 25 to eight and changed the lettering, so an eight-star shield means 2008 or later.
