CHICAGO (WLS) — It was a crowded playing field in in Tuesday night’s competition for the best Caleb “clone.”<\/p>\n

The Wiener’s Circle in Lincoln Park was back at it, paying tribute to the Chicago Bears and quarterback Caleb Williams in a special “Iceman” lookalike contest.<\/p>\n

“I studied Caleb William’s Instagram for this look,” said Lincoln Park resident Sarah Jurkovic.<\/p>\n

Contestants carefully curated what they say, were quintessential Caleb looks.<\/p>\n

“I kind of shaved down my beard a little bit,” one participant said, while another said, “I found my old headphones.”<\/p>\n

Another participant described their outfit, saying, “Classic Bears crewneck, just some regular Levi jeans. Went with a nice pearl necklace.”<\/p>\n

Competitors went above and beyond, with one saying, “I have the matcha!”<\/p>\n

Another said, “And then, we got the Iceman nails.”<\/p>\n

This event was the latest in a series of Bears-related promotions that The Wiener’s Circle has done this season. It was a love letter to the team, its quarterback, and this city.<\/p>\n

“Chicago is unique, Chicago is one-of-a-kind. You can’t imitate, duplicate the people that here and the love for the city, the Bears, the Cubs, anything. We take it to the top,” said The Wiener’s Circle crew member Ragen Eggert.<\/p>\n

Sunday’s season-ending loss was disappointing for Bears fans. But this crowd of Calebs delivered.<\/p>\n

Trenton Harrison from Bourbonnais took home the coveted “Caleb Williams Wannabe” trophy.<\/p>\n

“I will probably take a picture with the trophy and send Caleb a DM and tell him, ‘Let’s meet up,'” he said.<\/p>\n

In addition to the trophy, Trenton also got a gift card and swag from The Wiener’s Circle, along with a matcha latte and, more importantly, bragging rights.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, dozens turned out for a Chicago Bears Coach Ben Johnson lookalike contest<\/a> in the south suburbs.<\/p>\n

Matt Filipiak from Elmhurst took home first place for that competition.<\/p>\n
