The Chicago Bears will hit the road to take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 2, where they’re looking to rebound following a brutal showing in their season opener.
Chicago will face a tough task against an experienced Tampa Bay team, but the Bears will be wearing something special for the occasion.
Buy Bears TicketsThe Bears will don their orange helmet and jersey in Sunday’s game against the Bucs, according to the Sun-Times’ Patrick Finley. The team social accounts all but confirmed it.
Tampa Bay will wear their white uniforms at home. While the orange helmet/jersey combination isn’t a favorite among Bears fans, it should help keep the team cooler in the hot Florida sun (as it’s better than the navy alternative).

Chicago wore the combination twice in 2022 — in Week 6 against the Washington Commanders and Week 8 against the Dallas Cowboys. Unfortunately, both of those games were losses. So it doesn’t bode well for Sunday. Or, maybe, third time’s the charm.
