The Chicago Bears Rivalries uniform draws inspiration from the franchise's rich history, the city of Chicago and the generations of players who established the Monsters of the Midway legacy.

Every stitch tells a story — one that connects the legends who built this franchise with the players carrying it forward today. Designed to honor iconic elements from multiple eras of Bears football, the uniform blends tradition and innovation through thoughtful details, historic references and a bold new presentation.
The Helmet
The Helmet
The orange helmet creates a balanced look from top to bottom, pairing with the navy jersey, orange pants and navy socks for a cohesive, symmetrical design. The updated BEARS mark was designed to complement the overall Rivalries uniform aesthetic, reinforcing the team's identity through a bold, modernized presentation.
Chicago's iconic stars are woven into the design as a tribute to the city and as a celebration of Chicago's enduring connection to the Bears — a tip of the fedora to the greatest city in the world. Featured on the helmet's rear bumper, the stars are one of the uniform's most meaningful details and serve as a subtle nod to the city.
The Jersey
The Jersey
The decision to remain true to the Bears' traditional color palette of navy, orange and white was a key priority. These three colors are central to the franchise's identity and help maintain a strong connection to its history. The orange numerals with white trim draw inspiration from the 1948 Bears uniform. The numeral font reflects a classic Bears look, connecting the Rivalries uniform to an earlier era of franchise history.
One of the most subtle details is the “Monsters of the Midway” inscription stitched inside the jersey collar. The inscription is a tribute to one of the most iconic nicknames in franchise history, connecting current players and fans to the Bears' long-standing tradition. The uniform blends design cues from multiple eras in Bears history, creating a look in which each detail contributes to the complete story.
