NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Bears quarterback Caleb Williams sent a signed jersey to Pope Leo XIV, who is originally from Chicago and likely a Bears fan.
- The jersey gifted is a white, orange-numbered shirt, differing from the usual Bears road uniform, possibly previewing the team's upcoming Rivalries uniform.
- The Rivalries uniform is part of a Nike upgrade rolling out over four years to eight teams at a time, including NFC North and AFC South teams.
- This gesture allows the Pope to wear a Bears jersey if he chooses, symbolizing a connection between the NFL team and the pontiff.
