1925 Important photograph of Harold "Red" Grange as he appears for the first time ever in a Chicago Bears jersey and shows for the camera that he will still be wearing Number 77 at the NFL level as well. Few images we have ever offered show the exact moment that the world changed, but this is one of them! This is a cropped and editorial enhanced image making the number on the jersey show up better for publication so while this is technically a "vintage 1(b)" it actually displays better than the original version. Photo also has some paint on the front from new-room use which can easily be cleaned off.
