		Halas liked the bright orange-and-blue colors of his alma mater, the University of Illinois, and the Bears adopted those colors as their own, albeit in a darker shade of each (the blue is a Navy Blue, and the orange is Pantone 1665, similar to burnt orange).
		The NFL took that action as a consequence of the Bears' aggressive signing of famous U of I player Red Grange, almost literally as he walked out the door of Memorial Stadium following his final game as a collegian.
		The Bears have won 9 league championships, including Super Bowl XX after the 1985 season in which they dominated the NFL with their then-revolutionary 46 defense and a cast of characters that recorded the novelty rap song "The Super Bowl Shuffle".
