Pope Leo XIV's Custom Chicago Bears Jersey

A Special Gift From Vice President JD Vance

On Monday, during a meeting at the Vatican, Vice President JD Vance, along with his wife Usha Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, received a special vote for Pope Leo XIV: a custom Chicago Bears jersey. The jersey bears the name "POPE LEO" and the number "XIV," both a sign of respect and a deeply personal meaning.

Pope Leo XIV custom Chicago Bears jersey, a gift from Vice President JD Vance, is made from 100D hole cloth fabric and holds special meaning for the Pope, who was born in Chicago and raised in Dolton, Illinois.

The choice of the Chicago Bears jersey was no coincidence. Pope Leo XIV was known to have been born in Chicago and grew up in the south suburb of Dolton, Illinois – home of the Chicago Bears. The gift not only symbolized the Pope's connection to his hometown, but also showed the sportsmanship and admiration of Vice President Vance. The shirt is a unique combination of religious symbolism and sporting pride, creating a gift that is deeply personal and meaningful.
