For the non-Bears fans out there, who have often wondered what the “GSH” logo means…well, here we go.

George Halas makes up a giant portion of the Bears’ history. He founded, coached, and played. He picked out the colors. He was with the team that originated in Decatur, Illinois (made 80’s famous by Cameron Frye’s mom), and he was the reason for moving to Chicago in 1921, where they would win a title. On top of that, Halas also played professional baseball for the New York Yankees. In 1919, he got his cup of coffee with the Pinstripes, playing in 12 games (getting two hits) before a hip injury ended his career.

Of all the talented athletes on this list, Halas will go down in history as the only one who played defense, offense and handled ticket sales.
