The Bears announced Monday that in celebration of their 100th season in 2019 they will place a ‘1’ in front of all player jersey numbers, transforming the numbers into triple digits.
For instance, quarterback Mitchell Trubisky will wear No. 110 instead of No. 10, outside linebacker Khalil Mack will don No. 152 rather than No. 52, etc.
“First, I thought the idea was kind of crazy,” Trubisky said. “I’m like, ‘Why are we all changing our numbers?’ But you know what, it’s an honor to be part of this historic franchise. We’re celebrating our 100th-year anniversary and I think it will be pretty cool to put the ‘1’ in front of every single jersey number.”
