Answer 4

GSH stands for George Stanley Halas.

Nicknamed "Papa Bear", his legacy with the Bears is a long one that began as a player when the team was known as the Decatur Staleys in 1919. It was Halas who selected the team colors of orange and navy after his college alma mater the University of Illinois.

In 1921 team owner Augustus Staley turned over control of the Staleys to Halas, then 26 years old, when upon Halas moved the team to Chicago and, in 1922, renamed the team the Bears.

Halas bascially ran the team while still being an active player throughout the 1920s.

In 1932 he became sole owner of the Bears and had four different stints as coach of the team, coaching them for 40 years total and suffering only six losing seasons.

In 1963 Halas was enshrined into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, and later that year, at age 67, he coached the Bears to the NFL championship, his sixth NFL title as Bears coach,

He retired from coaching for good after the 1967 season.

Halas continued to run the team as principal owner until his death on Halloween night 1983. Howard Cosell announced Halas' passing while the Redskins and Chargers were playing on Monday Night Football.

Beginning in 1984, the GHS initials have been a permanent staple on the Bears' jerseys in honor of their Papa Bear, and today the team continues to be in the hands of the Halas family, with George's eldest daughter Virginia McCaskey as principal owner, a position she's held since her father's death.
