By Marcus Vance
Uniform styles will inevitably change as apparel suppliers experiment with lighter fabrics, integrated protection, and alternate color palettes. Stadiums come and go, with ongoing discussions surrounding Chicago's long-term venue strategy away from the lakefront. Yet the three block letters on the jersey arm remain one of the few untouched constants in modern North American sports.
The GSH marking is not merchandise clutter or a marketing gimmick. It serves as an unmoving anchor to 1920, reminding every player who pulls on the navy jersey that the team they play for did not simply join the NFL, it helped build it from scratch.
