The “VMH” on the Chicago Bears’ jerseys is a memorial patch that stands for Virginia Halas McCaskey , the team’s late owner and daughter of franchise founder George Halas.

What “VMH” Stands For

  • The letters VMH are a three-letter monogram for Virginia Halas McCaskey.
  • It honors her after her passing in 2025 at the age of 102, recognizing her decades-long role as Bears owner and a central figure in the franchise.

Patch Design and Placement

  • The Bears wear an orange, football-shaped patch with navy “VMH” letters outlined in white on the upper left chest/shoulder of the jersey.
  • The monogram puts the M (McCaskey) in the center, with V and H on the sides, mirroring the way the Bears previously styled tributes for family members.

Connection to Bears History

  • The VMH patch is intentionally reminiscent of the older “GSH” lettering the Bears wear for founder George Stanley Halas Sr.
  • Just like GSH became a permanent visual tribute to Halas, VMH is a season-long symbol of respect for Virginia’s legacy with the franchise.
