A handmade pivot after a Packers legal threat has turned into a runaway Bears emblem with orders stretching into March.
Overview
- Foam Party Hats says it received 2,000 orders in 24 hours and has a waitlist topping 10,000 following Chicago’s comeback over Green Bay.
- Deliveries are backordered to March 2 as the Houston shop adds four workers, runs overtime and scales a largely handmade process.
- Bears players showcased the foam hats on Amazon Prime’s postgame show, with quarterback Caleb Williams grating real cheese on air.
- A fan identified as Brandon Martinez went viral for shredding cheese inside Soldier Field during the playoff win.
- The company says it is in talks with the NFL about licensing, while the Packers emphasize the cheesehead’s enduring, top‑selling status.
