Mike Ditka's iconic Chicago Bears sweater vest, a symbol of the team's Super Bowl XX triumph, has sold for $183,000. The sleeveless, size XXL vest, featuring "BEARS" across the front, was prominently worn by Ditka during the team's dominant 46-10 victory over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XX. This piece of sports history was recently auctioned via Goldin.
A letter of provenance, signed by Ditka himself, authenticates the vest and has been certified by Professional Sports Authenticator (PSA). The sweater has become an enduring image of "Da Bears" and is recognized by fans, even inspiring segments on "Saturday Night Live."
The vest was unexpectedly acquired by Goldin from a Chicago family with connections to Ditka. The auction house spent months researching and verifying the item before its successful sale, highlighting the unexpected ways significant memorabilia can surface.
