One of the oldest sports franchises in US history, the Chicago Cubs have been continually playing in the same city since 1870. Their logo has changed many times over the year, starting as a Old English C. The C shape changed several times over the years, sometimes represented with a bear or 'ubs' inside the C to create the team name. This logo came into use in 1979 when a thicker blue circle was introduced to replace the thin blue circle that was used from 1957-1978.

This button is a fan button for the Chicago Cubs, with the same mascot as the 1969 "cubs power" bumper stickers and other souvenirs. The 1969 Chicago Cubs included many now-famous players, like Ron Santo, Billy Williams, and Ernie Banks; though they had a pretty solid season, the '69 season is remembered for their 17 game losing streak.
