The Chicago Bears are not commonly known by the nickname "the Streakers." Instead, they are primarily referred to simply as the Bears. The nickname "the Streakers" may arise from a misunderstanding or miscommunication, as it is typically associated with a different context or team. The Bears are known for their storied history in the NFL and their iconic blue and orange colors.
In college it was Silly Willie. In the Bears' locker room it was "Pinky."
No, the Detroit Lions do not have cheerleaders. Mr. Ford does not like the idea of cheerleaders. He prefers to keep the game a family event atmosphere and thinks that cheerleaders would lead to drunken-male atmosphere that will create a lot of fights and destroy his reputation. Back in the early to mid 1970's while the Lions played in Detroit (Briggs Stadium), they did in fact have cheerleaders - 7 ladies to be exact. We were paid per game and cheered at the home games only, as they did not allow us to travel to the away games. When the Lions moved out of Detroit to the Pontiac, MI Silverdome, the squad was disbanded. There was a time the Detroit Lions did have professional cheerleaders!
The Chicago Bears have resided in the same city and borne the same nickname for the longest period of time in the NFL. The team was established in 1920 as the Decatur Staleys and moved to Chicago the following year, where they became the Bears. They have been known as the Chicago Bears for over a century, making it the longest continuous use of both city and nickname in the league.
