10 things not to wear to a Bears game

I am not a big apparel guy. You probably won't see me in a jersey of my favorite team, you may not even see me wearing a logo shirt. But this season, for some reason I have the urge to get something to support the team. So I went shopping online, and what I found was odd to say the least. N...
