Poster: Strike "87" - Support the Real Bears

[Chicago: S.i., 1987]. Original poster, with text and team photo offset printed on white stock, measuring 42.5cm x 28cm (16.75" x 11"). A Fine copy. 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. The present poster, possibly produced by the Chicago NFL Players Association, draws attention to the strike in hopes of supporting the "Real Bears." Not separately listed in OCLC, though we note an example held by the Chicago Public Library in their Chicago City-Wide Collection.
