Athletico Bilbao play in red and white stripes as a result of a kit colour clash in 1910 when they were invited to play the opening game against Real Sociedad in their new stadium.

They bought the shirts from Sunderland because one of their team had been to the North East and thought the shirts looked great.

Technically the bears no bears thing, whilst a good way of remembering where polar bears live, is just a happy coincidence. Arctic/Antarctic actually refers to the position of the constellation Ursa Major - the Great Bear.
