Bears No. 89 helmet sticker: How Chicago is honoring legendary coach Mike Ditka
Key points
- The Chicago Bears will wear a No. 89 helmet sticker to honour Mike Ditka in Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers. Ditka wore No.
- 89 during his decorated career as a tight end, and Chicago later retired the number. The decal shows a white 89 inside a navy football outlined in orange, placed on the back corner of the helmet.
- The Packers will also hold a moment of silence for Ditka at Lambeau Field, despite playing on the road. It is unclear whether the decals will be worn for the rest of the season.
