The 2026 Bears Christmas Cardigan Vest Sweater pairs Chicago Bears football with the holiday setting of the team’s scheduled December 25, 2026, home game against the Green Bay Packers at Soldier Field in Chicago, Illinois. The sleeveless sweater brings those two subjects together in a single Christmas design. The matchup gives the artwork a timely point of reference, while the design itself centers on Chicago’s team identity and familiar Christmas imagery.
2026 Bears Christmas Cardigan Vest Sweater – Chicago Football Meets Christmas Day
The Bears Christmas 2026 Cardigan Vest Sweater features oversized “CHI” and “BEARS” lettering beneath a Santa Claus illustration and a football marked with a Chicago “C.” Navy and white stripes trace the V-neck and both arm openings, framing the orange front. A wide, solid orange band finishes the hem, leaving a clear break between the bottom edge and the artwork above it.
At the top of the graphic, a brown football with white laces tilts beside Santa’s face, its outlined “C” turned forward. Santa has rosy cheeks, a curled white mustache, and a full white beard. His navy cap has an orange brim and a small orange “C,” with a white pom-pom hanging to the right. Evergreen sprigs and clusters of red berries spread behind the football and Santa, while white snowflakes dot the orange space near the shoulders and along the sides of the lettering.
Across the middle, the block letters in “CHI” each have their own pattern. The “C” carries an orange-and-navy plaid, the “H” uses a dark-and-white check, and the “I” has diagonal orange-and-white stripes that recall a candy cane. A curved cream banner below reads “BEARS” in dark uppercase lettering. An orange-and-navy plaid bow anchors the bottom of the front graphic, its two pointed tails extending between the greenery and berry clusters on either side.

The Chicago Bears are scheduled to host the Green Bay Packers in a Week 16 Christmas Day game, with kickoff listed for noon Central time and coverage on Netflix. The matchup is part of a season in which Chicago is scheduled to play on both Thanksgiving and Christmas for the first time in franchise history. On Thanksgiving, November 26, 2026, the Bears are scheduled to face the Detroit Lions at Ford Field in Detroit, Michigan, before returning to Chicago for the Christmas matchup later in the schedule.
The artwork connects to that Christmas Day setting through two sets of details. The football, the “C” marks and the stacked “CHI” and “BEARS” identify Chicago, while Santa, snowflakes, evergreen sprigs and candy-cane stripes signal the holiday. Santa’s cap ties the two together by carrying the same Chicago initial as the football above the lettering.
