The Bears will unveil a fourth jersey — one thing the staff is deeming a “new classic” — to have fun their 100th season this yr.
The jersey, which figures to be a throwback to their early days, will probably be unveiled June 7 on the opening ceremony of the “Bears 100” conference on the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, the staff stated Thursday.
The Bears will put on 4 totally different jerseys subsequent season — the 100th anniversary jersey; their normal navy house jersey and white street shirts; and the orange alternate jersey they reintroduced final season. The staff is not going to put on their “Monsters of the Midway” throwback subsequent season. Rather, the “classic” jersey may throw again to a fair earlier time in staff historical past.
“People, they’re going to talk about it,” chairman George McCaskey, an avowed uniform connoisseur, stated of the brand new jersey in November.
The Bears received’t say which route the brand new design will take. In the previous, McCaskey has he’s a fan of a 1936 white jersey that had alternating blue and orange stripes on the shoulders and sleeves.
The staff will put on a particular patch to mark their 100th season on all 4 uniforms.
