tohasbo Posted November 10, 2005 Author Share Posted November 10, 2005 No they were not. Da Bears only had that Thanksgiving Day Throwback as an alternate jersey on their schedule last year, if I remember correctly. If I am not right on this one, ask our good ol' friend, PANTONE!

tohasbo Posted November 10, 2005 Author Share Posted November 10, 2005 This is from chicagobears.comBears want fans to turn lakefront orange this Sunday vs. 49ersBy Larry MayerNovember 10, 2005The Bears are going to wear orange jerseys with their customary white pants Sunday when they host the 49ers at Soldier Field and would like their fans to follow suit. The team is encouraging all those who attend the game to also wear orange, whether it's a Bears jersey or other clothing. Fullback Jason McKie (37) and the rest of the Bears will don new orange alternate jerseys for this Sunday's matchup versus 49ers. Bears fans are encouraged to wear their orange too. The orange jerseys the Bears will don Sunday are different than the ones they wore last Thanksgiving Day in Dallas, which were "throwbacks" replicating their 1946 uniforms. Well, Orange jersey, White pants, blue socks and their black cleats.Sunday, we will all know for sure!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tohasbo Posted November 10, 2005 Author Share Posted November 10, 2005 Sorry, guys, if this looks bad, but I tried my damndest to well on it. This is what I have heard it to look like, but I guess we will have to see for real on Sunday against the woeful 49ers.Sorry about the 4 on the left side.

CS85 Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 imagine the regular home jersey with the navy and orange switched, that's all that it'll be. The bears only wore 1 alternate last year, and it was the orange fake throwbacks against the cowboys in a god awful football game. The last time they wore alternate's before that was the navy-on-navy vs the packers in 2003. Quote "You are nothing more than a small cancer on this message board.

MisterE Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 why not orange jerseys with blue pants? Get Ron Santo in the Hall of Fame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bricknivy Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 These have been in the Sports Authority in Chicago for the last 3 years. It's just now that the Bears have adopted as an official 3rd jersey and is included in the Official NFL Style Guide for 2005-06 . According to the NFL by-laws, the Bears can only wear this for 2 games this season. It's much better than that abortion they wore last Thanksgiving which made NO sense in relationship to anything the Bears have ever featured.I'm a huge Bears fan and applaud them for doing something different...

djqman69 Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 I sure hope that they wear the orange jerseys with the white pants and white socks. That's probably the best combination they could have without making some orange socks.And pcgd, I think you missed my points. The black is a great addition for trim and such, but it does not grant them a reason to make a black third jersey. Also, even as a stand alone jersey, they really are not good. Too many dark colors without some silver or white. They could have at least had White or silver numbers, instead of blue numbers on a black jersey......

These have:or these:They are wearing these:I know the differences are subtle, but they aren't the same...I sure hope that they wear the orange jerseys with the white pants and white socks.And white pants with white socks is dumb. The point is to have a break at the sock/pant line, and that can't happen with same colored sock and pant combos. Besides that the blue socks (three orange stripes) are more consistant stripe-wise with the stripes on the actual jerseys (three blue stripes) than the white socks (blue-orange-blue stripes)...Moose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmigraphics Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 To be honest...I dont mind the last version of the Bears Uni. I think the Bears will look good beating the 49ers in Navy, White or Orange...it doesnt matter!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sodboy13 Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 Perhaps something orange will be available for you at the Chicago Bears Fan Shop, conveniently located inside Soldier Field.(cha-ching) On 1/25/2013 at 1:53 PM, 'Atom said: For all the bird de lis haters I think the bird de lis isnt supposed to be a pelican and a fleur de lis I think its just a fleur de lis with a pelicans head.

pcgd Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 They should do what they do at Illinois games. If you aren't wearing orange and you are an Illinois fan, they'll give you an Orange T-shirt. Usually this is only done the few nights of the year they do "Paint the Hall Orange."

There is only one "paint the hall orange" game a year. It used to be pretty much the only time they wore orange at home, because orange was designated by the university as a "special ocassion jersey". This past year, they wore orange, and took off, so they kept wearing it. There were only a few games in which they didn't wear orange, I believe they were all against teams with red road jerseys. They wore white during thoese games, and they didn't wear the navy jerseys once last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you walk in with a Navy shirt on, there's a good chance a cheerleader or member of the orange crush is going to toss you a T-shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
