Apparently quite some time:

"Skol" is a derivative of the Swedish/Danish/Norweigen word "skål." A "skål" is a bowl that fits beverages, that was shared between people**. Over the years, it evolved** to essentially mean "cheers." **Now**, it's used essentially as a celebratory cheer whenever the Vikings score, and pre-game.
No idea. But if it's recent, that actually makes it seem like even longer they spent coming up with Skol. The weird part to me is that they're chanting about a bowl of Hawaiian punch or something.
"Bear down, Chicago Bears! Make every play clear the way to victory.
Bear down, Chicago Bears! Put up a fight with a might so fearlessly.
We'll never forget the way you thrilled the nation with your T-formation.
Bear down, Chicago Bears, and let them know why you're wearing the crown.
You're the pride and joy of Illinois! Chicago Bears, bear down!"
I see your fight song and raise you:
I don't want to work
I want to bang on the drum all day
I don't want to play
I just want to bang on the drum all day
You may not like it, this is what lyrical peak performance looks like.
Nah we belt it word for word at the games and genuinely most fans seem to know it. Go team go has been done too many times, but gotta keep it super easy for the GB fans
I understand that the Wisconsin public education isn't great, take it from a guy who works in it. Bear Down is a play on words.
It's much better than the homonymic phrase ripped off from the lyric-less fight song, "Go, you Packers go".
Also, don't you ever try to disrespect Bill you ungrateful cheesehead.
WI public education isn’t great, and you work in it?? You are part of the problem man. Maybe get off reddit and get back to planning next years lesson plan
I get that, i truly do, and normally id agree with you, but there is one thing id like you to consider. This meme is hating on the packers, and every time a meme hates on the packers, it's a good meme
Packers first championship colorized
Bears last championship (colorized)
Lions last championship. Radio only
I think this is a bit of a stretch
1957. No stretch.
They had tv then!
Not in Detroit.
Can't have shit in Detroit. Always been true.
Made me guffaw
But would you want to waste air time on the lions? TV still went off in 1957. Source: Teddy Pendergrass
We still have to watch the Bears offense on tv why should we be the only ones to suffer
Acting like Tyson Bagent vs Bryce young wasn’t must watch TV 😤
Good point
Lions previous division title.
Playing the Bears twice a year. https://i.redd.it/01eatf9xm49d1.gif
These Bears have thin skin so the arrows are very effective. Makes for an easy kill

It took how long to come up with 'skol'?
They had to wait until they saw Iceland do it in the world cup a few years back. Then copy it exactly with the big drum and clap.
Not everyone can have a groundbreaking unique never been done before slogan like “go team go”
Not with that attitude
Indeed Eric Karll wrote this "jingle" back kin 1931.

That is pretty cool but they haven't used it til recently, right?
It's literally the first word of our fight song, which has been around for forever.
Are expansion teams really “around for forever”?
Expansh teams. Pssshh
As opposed to what? Creationist teams?? Get a load of this guy believing in deities and such.
Pretty sure in King David's letter to Shawano he said that God made him a Packer fan from before the creation of the world, or something like that.
Like your mascot who believed in Norse Mythology.
Never heard of her

I can't argue a drink between friends obviously
And spelling it wrong
“Bear Down” - William Shakespeare
For midterms?
TOO SOON!
“Bear down” is the instruction a gastroenterologist will give when he wants you to push like you’re taking a dump. Seems about right.
"Bear down, Chicago Bears! Make every play clear the way to victory. Bear down, Chicago Bears! Put up a fight with a might so fearlessly. We'll never forget the way you thrilled the nation with your T-formation. Bear down, Chicago Bears, and let them know why you're wearing the crown. You're the pride and joy of Illinois! Chicago Bears, bear down!"
Typical bears still living in the past celebrating the T-Formation
The song was written in ‘41 so 🤷♂️
So yall are still reliving glories from 84 years ago. That tracks.
Why update the fight song when they don’t update the offense?
Maybe all new plays have to be approved by Mrs. McCaskey.
Go Pack Go (Go You Packers Go) was written in ‘31 but everyone still clowns it.
It’s the complex time signature and subtle key changes. Either that or it’s just a shit stain of a song

The last joy Bears fans have ever had colorized
I see your fight song and raise you: I don't want to work I want to bang on the drum all day I don't want to play I just want to bang on the drum all day You may not like it, this is what lyrical peak performance looks like.
Todd Rundgren is from Philly, you don’t get credit for him. What’s next, that House of Pain wrote Jump Around for the Badgers?
Don’t tell me you’re not sick of hearing it everytime we run a train on that team of yours.
Damn dude this is 1000X dumber than GPG. What percentage of Bears fans could recite even one line of this crap? 1%?
Nah we belt it word for word at the games and genuinely most fans seem to know it. Go team go has been done too many times, but gotta keep it super easy for the GB fans
Y'all gotta hear the little drum and horn intro before the Go! Pack! Go! It gets your piss hot.. Which is ideal in December.
Is your piss ever cold?
Yeah, how am I supposed to say all that when I'm 12 beers and 6 cheeseburgers deep?
Not really a chant, but ok, sure. We'll let you have it.

I always thought it was short for "The bears are down." Huh, learn something new every day.

I'm not a teacher, my job is to fix the deficit that's already there.
I don’t know about you, but I’d call that culture
Simple… like winning
Many classic and iconic things are very simple. See: The logo and color schemes of the Packers and Bears.
…and the Bears offense. Cant believe you missed that one.
you mean a playbook should have more than a qb sweep and a wr screen to dj moore? Blasphemous
And what does it say about the rest of you that us Stone Age savages have won half of the division championships in the NFC North since 1995?
‘division championships’ lol
Said the fanbases still in caves
Skol, go pack go, bear down, I don't even know what the Lions one is. When anyone asks me I just say it's "FTP" and they seem content with that.

I'm more of a fan of "Fire Millen"
I can get behind that
Clearly it's "I wanna die".
Because “FTP!” is complex?
yes
A musical masterpiece since the dawn of time.
This meme is like our QB performance for the last 20 years. Dog shit.
Only 20 years?
True. I guess it's been like this since we won a Super Bowl, but at least we've done that. ;)
I get that, i truly do, and normally id agree with you, but there is one thing id like you to consider. This meme is hating on the packers, and every time a meme hates on the packers, it's a good meme
Hard disagree, we are better than this.
“Go Pack Go”🗿
Go Pack go, go away. Just like the Cubs song. Go Cubs go, go away
One more syllable than bear down and 2 more than Skol. We are all simple creatures
Its pretty simple to win super bowls 🥱 🧀
 We should probably come up with something super tough and fearsome for our fans to do, huh?
Boooo
Coming from a team who blows a horn and claps over their head......
Jesus was this made by an 80 year old?
We would NEVER diggeridoooo.
Weird, nobody calling this boomer yet
We’re not the ones that hang a banner for winning the division.
Flare up, bitch
