Editor Note: This was such a popular post last year, we're putting it back on the front page. Have a Happy Halloween!
Sweetness Template | Tradition Logo Template | Butkus Template
Bears Logo Template | Ditka Template | Alternate Logo Template
To use the templates, simply download the .pdf's from the links above and print them out on letter (8.5" x 11") sized paper. Then, use some kind of sharp object to poke holes along the dotted lines. After that, it's as easy as carving along the guide.
However, you should note that I've never carved these, so don't blame me if they're not great. Although, I posted the bottom three (Bears Logo, Da Coach and Alternate Logo) on here last year, and we had some WCG'ers provide some photos of their work.
Happy Human - from the Alternate Logo Template:
BearNecessities - from the Ditka Template:
And yours truly... well, I did a Brobee (template) for my little girl:
So, have at it. Use the templates, carve some pumpkins and post some photos in the comments section.
Also, use this thread for all things Halloween. Anyone dressing up their kids up as mini-Ditkas? What about your yearly Halloween traditions? Parties? Whatever.
No matter what you're doing, be safe, have fun and Happy Halloween.

Thanks everyone.
I’m glad you all like these. Please carve up some pumpkins and post some pics. Even if you did a Ditka and there’s already one posted.

Umm. Yes. and
Yes. Themes might be getting a bit old. Schlereth sucks!! Racist!! (which I am truly beginning to hate the way Schlereth hates (supposedly) Jay Cutler) and we need to run/not run the ball more because Mike Martz is/isn’t the best/worst thing to happen to the Bears since my enjoyment/disgust of this blog spot.
If you can't laugh at yourself you must not be very funny.
I remain a pessimistically hopeful Bears fan.
To that point, Schlereth has been getting a bit of props lately from WCG,
and I personally squashed the repeated “racist” meme.
The Ditka one… well, too much of a good thing can sometimes happen.
That’s why I don’t believe in using catchphrases unless appropriate.

~~~ Check my profile for links for SB20 and America's Game: '85 Bears ~~~
Or more apt when they're unappropriate
As in Mike Ditka once shook hands with Pat Mannelley as Pat was walking off the field. The sheer force, combined with some small remnants of Soldier Field, instantly formed a diamond.
If you can't laugh at yourself you must not be very funny.

Such an event would result in the end of existence as we know it and the instant creation of a universe that’s altogether more awesome and moustached. Even Stephen Hawking said so, and he knows nothing about the NFL.

I see the collection is growing
nice work on all of them! Taking the boy trick or treating at the mall (it’s a nice safe place for 2 year olds to get a good haul). He’s going as Batman and I’m going as Batman’s dad. Got some pumpking carving to do this weekend, we got one of those Mr Potato Head kits you can add to pumpkins so I’m anxious to see how that turns out.
On a side note to all those parents out there don’t forget to check all the candy your kids get, sadly there are some bad people out there that try to ruin halloween by being Viking fans. Happy Halloween everyone.

This is awesome
I was totally leaning toward not doing anything for Halloween (no kids in my life at the moment and halloween loses a lot of fun if you lose your night vision) but I may just have to go find a pumpkin and carve one of these. Looks like fun!

Your post made me think of something
I don’t know how many of you have kids or watch the Disney channel. But there is a show on there called Imagination Movers and they have a character that wears all beige suits, has a all beige office, a pet rock named rocky and he invents ways to make things more boring because everything is too exciting for him. That guy is totally Lovie, so from now on I will refer to Lovie by that characters name of Knitnot.

I carved one that looked like the O-Line,
but it kept getting knocked over.

Once your pumpkin is carved,
put it face-down in a bathtub of cold water overnight… it will absorb the water, whic will add life to the pumpkin before it dries out and shrivels up. You can actually soak it like that every few days if needed.
Also, remember to use petroleum jelly on the carved parts… this will help keep the moisture in, and keep the moldy grossness out.
There are other ideas out there on keeping the pumpkin fresh and making it last longer (putting it in the fridge, using bleach, etc), but these are two things that I have done personally, and they definitely work.
If I put it face down in the bathtub
won’t it drown?

UPDATE:
I looked over the sweetness design again, and there was a mess-up on the template. If you’ve downloaded it, please discard that and download again from the link above. It should be better now. Sorry.

Possibly best Fan Post Ever
I typically do about 10-15 pumpkins a year. Usually 10 of them are out of foam, so I can keep them. One day I’d like to be known as the insane older dude who decorates his entire house in jack o lanterns. Yes, I shoot high with my goals.
In ref to Dane’s post, using a mix of bleach and water and spraying in on the inside helps keep insects out of it and does delay the decay. You can also wrap them in saran wrap and put them in the refridgerator overnight to keep them healthier.

Here's the Sweetness pumpkin I carved last night:
Forgot to print out the templates at work, so I had to freehand draw his face on:

Nope. We actually have a pet sea lion.
But if we didn’t, you’d be right about it being a stem.
