The Chicago Bears today announced the launch of Bearigami – an interactive iteration of a cultural phenomenon dedicated to the Chicago Bears and the history of the storied franchise, spanning over a century.

A first-ever NFL franchise-created digital product, Bearigami presents Chicago Bears fans with a one-of-a-kind platform to explore how each game, season and era added to the franchise's history. Now accessible at Bearigami.com, the fully interactive website tracks every unique final score in franchise history, dating back to the club's inception as the Decatur Staleys in 1920, offering a unique format to explore Chicago Bears history.

"Bearigami provides our fans with a new way to stay connected, informed and engaged, while thoughtfully encapsulating our history in a unique setting," said Chicago Bears digital product manager Austin Huette. "As we continually seek ways to innovate and create new, fun digital creations, our fans now have a product that is not ephemeral, but will continually evolve and advance, reaching our fans and new audiences in a unique and unprecedented way across the league."

The development of Bearigami was innovation-driven, and the creation of this inimitable product was fueled by a passion for finding unique ways to connect with the fanbase. Through Bearigami, over a century of information, highlighting the most unique and prosperous eras of the franchise's history, can now be readily and easily accessible via a user-friendly interface.

Bearigami was created and verified through historical research methods and resources, and cross-referenced with the club's historical archives. The website offers a unique way to view the final scores of every Chicago Bears game, including toggles for holiday and championship contests, as well as series histories for all 31 other current teams, and even no longer active franchises. Bearigami includes filters, year sliders, and dynamic overlays that allow fans to revisit favorite seasons and explore different eras, connecting Bears fandom across generations.
