Decatur IL - 1925 Decatur Illinois was home to a starch company started by Augustus Eugene Staley. In 1919 Staley built a company football team from current factory workers…they were pretty good. In 1920 the Decatur Staleys shutout 10 of their 13 opponents in their first year of existence posting a 10-1-2 overall record. The team lost only once to the rival Chicago Cardinals 7-6. In 1921 the Staley company sold the team to George Halas and his partners, who transferred the team to Wrigley Field in Chicago. For 1922, they renamed themselves the Chicago Bears.
