With the 2017 college football season officially kicking off their season last night and Week 1 of the NFL season exactly one week away, the Cubs decided to get into the football spirit by donning their favorite football jerseys just in time for their flight to Pittsburgh where they’ll take on the Pirates in a four-game set starting Monday.
Per Kelly Crull of CSN, sources told her that Jason Heyward bought all the Cubs players their favorite jersey for what Cubs manager Joe Maddon called, the “jersey road trip.” Heyward gave fans a glimpse of his jersey of choice before today’s game against Atlanta when he posted this on his Instagram.
Even though they failed to extend their win streak to seven games today, the Cubs still rocked some pretty awesome football jerseys.
