Placard: United Steelworkers of America Support the NFLPA Chicago Bears

Chicago: Allied Printing, [1987]. Original placard, with text offset printed in dark blue on chipboard, measuring 35.5cm x 56cm (14" x 22"). Hint of foxing along upper margin, else very Near Fine. A relic of the month-long NFL players' strike during the 1987 season. During the brief period that NFL players went on strike, owners were forced to hire replacements to come in and play the games; in Chicago, those players were known as "the Spare Bears," who went 2-1 in the three games they played during the strike. An intersting placard produced by the United Steelworkers of America, showing solidarity with the striking Bears. Not separately listed in OCLC.
