Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams continues to wear Caddix-branded cleats despite NFL fines, but he changes how the branding appears during games. After being fined, Williams says he covers the logo so it is not visible, describing it as a way to limit distractions.
Multiple outlets report he wears cleats with the Caddix logo made less noticeable or blacked out during a Monday night game in Seattle. Williams frames the move as an effort to “calm things down” and “minimize” media attention following the penalties, even as the situation continues.
Coverage varies in emphasis: one outlet focuses on the visible result—cleats with no visible logos—while others highlight the controversy and the continuing pattern of fines. Some explain why he does not appear willing to stop wearing the cleats, focusing on his defiance of the league’s demands. Across reports, the central points remain that Williams wants to reduce attention while continuing to use the same brand.
