amare32 Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 I have tried everywhere I can imagine to track down an authentic Chicago Bears home jersey. I've found plenty of the loose-sleeved variety, but not one of the the kind I want -- the type w/ ProBrite material on the shoulders and elastic arm bands.I contacted Reebok directly. They put me in touch with Logo Athletic, the company that actually manufactures the jerseys on Reebok's behalf. Logo Athletic claims that the elastic arm band variety is not available to the public, only directly to the teams.But I know I've seen 'em! I was in Chicago a few weeks ago for the Bears-Vikings game and I saw several of those types of jerseys on the backs of Bears fans. So I suspect that they were available at one time.Now, if anyone is plugged into the world of sports jerseys, the members of this board are. I bet someone on this board knows where to find the secret stash. So I beseech you -- help me find my Holy Grail! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewharrington Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 you can buy a loose sleeved one and take it to you local alteration store/tailor, and have them elasticise the arms. itll be ready in less than a day, and you can even have them custom fit it hile youre at it. isnt too expensive either. just a thought.

fashman23 Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 I believe that you will need to find a jersey from the 2001 season with the helmet tags. I have one of the jerseys you are talking about in white and it is a helmet tag version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haesn Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 http://rivercitysports.com/cda/sublist-04....subcategory=PROI think these are the jerseys you were looking for. I have been to all the rivercity sports here in winnipeg and all the bears pro jerseys I have seen all have the elastic band. In fact all the pro NFL jerseys they seem to have, have the elastic band. If this helps you in any way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amare32 Posted December 29, 2004 Author Share Posted December 29, 2004 Thanks, gentlemen. I already own an Urlacher road jersey, of the loose arm variety. What I'd like to get is a blank home jersey so I can customize it w/ my own immortal name and number: Peterson 44. I might try and contact River City and see if they can do custom jobs. I appreciate all your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
