For their home matchup with the Commanders (-1) on Thursday night, the Bears unveiled a new uniform combo under the bright lights.
Usually, the Bears wear some form of navy or white jersey, and they pair that with their classic navy helmet that has an orange C on both sides. Against the Commanders, Chicago finally wore their special alternate jersey and alternate helmet for the 2022 season — and yes, they’re both orange.
Amongst the overall alternates schedule for the entire league, it’s a lot of colors to see on a football team. As the primetime game unfolded, let’s just say some NFL folks were bigger fans of the uniform combo than others:

Fine, I’ll be explicit: Many people hated the orange on orange.
NFL fans had mixed feelings about the Bears' orange jerseys and helmets
these are the uniforms you'd see in a Lifetime movie about football wives that couldn't afford to license real NFL teams pic.twitter.com/xxAMLdLEly

This looks like Illinois vs. Minnesota (which coincidentally takes place Saturday).

if the bears wanted to do orange jerseys, then they needed to do orange or navy pants. #tnf

I’m not sitting out of Thursday Night Football because the teams are awful, I’m protesting because the Bears’ helmets and jerseys are different shades of orange.
