The countdown to the new Chicago Bears "Rivalries" uniforms is finally over and fans can put their AI artwork speculation to rest. On Tuesday morning, the Bears revealed their highly-anticipated Rivalries uniform combination, along with the rest of the NFC North and AFC South for the 2026 season.
The Bears' jersey is described as follows: "Gives Bears heritage a modern update, using a midnight palette, burnt orange accents and striping inspired by classic team design and the Chicago flag. Bold orange pants and heritage details nod to George Halas and the return of the 'Monsters of the Midway.'"

— Chicago Bears (@ChicagoBears) August 25, 2026 Although the uniform will be worn only during the Bears' Christmas home game against the Green Bay Packers in Week 16, fans couldn't wait to see the new design. It's the first new Bears uniform to be worn during a game since the 1936 white throwbacks were introduced in 2019 ahead of the team's 100th anniversary.
For months, fans have been speculating about the design, believing the Bears would unveil a polar bear set or incorporate the front-facing logo. Now that the uniforms are out, here is how they reacted.

— Geoff (@RedInThe_Head40) August 25, 2026 I don't hate them. Love the color way. The patch is too big. The numbers are the right size though. Overall, 7/10. The biggest fumble was not being more unique with the helmet. https://t.co/qxribTSSEt
