Our G.O.A.T. Debate is final.

Thanks again to our Diehard community for taking the time and effort to vote.

Drumroll please…

The Greatest Basketball Player of All Time

This was a layup! Chicago prevailed in the ALLCITY Diehards tally and we couldn’t be less surprised — and more relieved.

Here’s how the ALLCITY staff voted:

The Greatest Quarterback of All Time

Not sure there’s much of an argument with this list. Maybe we’ll see our guy on it in a few years.

Here’s how the ALLCITY staff voted:

The Greatest Athlete of All Time

As Patrick Kane once said…

“Chicagoooooo.”

We did it again. ALLCITY supremacy for the true G.O.A.T.

Here’s how the ALLCITY staff voted:

The Greatest Villains in Chicago History

You unfortunately cannot tell the story of the Bears-Packers rivalry without mentioning Aaron Rodgers.

…or Randall Cobb, Jordy Nelson, Major Wright, Chris Conte…

The list goes on and on. Ugh.

Here’s how the CHGO staff voted:

The Greatest Uniform in Chicago Sports

Is there such a thing as a bad uniform in Chicago? Even the ones that aren’t our favorites are still unique in some way, shape or form.

Here’s how the CHGO staff voted:

Methodology and quality controls

• Rankings used a 5–1 point system: five points for first place through one point for fifth place.
• Spelling, capitalization, obvious shorthand, and name variants were normalized before scoring.
• Team, color, era, alternate, and home/away uniform descriptions were consolidated into consistent market-specific labels.
• When the same final answer appeared more than once within one ranked question, it counted once at its highest placement; lower repeats were discarded.
• In a published uniform Top 5, a general team-only bucket was omitted when a specific uniform for that same team was also listed. If a general bucket stood alone, it displayed as the team name without “Unspecified.”
• Tied point totals share the same numerical rank. Display order then uses first-place votes, ballot mentions, and alphabetical order.
• ALLCITY point totals reconcile exactly to the sum of the five markets, with zero formula errors in the final workbook.

Thanks again for voting for the G.O.A.T!
