On Thursday, the Fire announced “A Celebration for All Chicago,” a week-long series of events and activations set to take place the week of Oct. 4-8 as the Club fully launches its new crest and recognizes the 150th anniversary of the Great Chicago Fire and the coinciding anniversary of the Club’s founding in 1997. The celebration will culminate with “Ten/Eight: A Night at the Metro with Chicago Fire FC in partnership with Heineken” – a concert at legendary Chicago music venue Metro headline by Chicago hip-hop artist SABA. Beginning on Oct. 4, the Fire will fully launch its new crest across all owned channels and go on sale with the first round of apparel featuring the new crest.
