For fuck's sake. The team's going to suck AND the uniforms are going to be hideous? I don't know what twelve year old they have designing uniforms at Nike, but they've gotten literally everything wrong since taking over - even to the point where they've had to revert jerseys back to what they were before they fucked them up, multiple times. Gross.
If you were going to create an alt helmet....why not one with the actual Bear logo on it? Instead we get what looks like some division 2 college team should wear.
Yeah, it's just the least imaginative thing they could possibly do, to just invert the colors. Then, in traditional Nike / 12 year old design fashion, they pair the orange helmet with the orange jersey. Because you can't get matching wrong if you don't use more than one color! I'm critical of a lot of these helmet additions - almost every team just went with a black helmet, because of course they did. 12 year old style. At this point, though, I'm almost wishing they just did black. It couldn't be this bad. The Bear logo would've been great. Or anything else.
Should have went with a super dark metallic gray with double dark blue stripes and the bear face logo in blue and orange. Back that up with a dark blue jersey with orange lettering, dark gray and white trim, dark gray pants with old school 3 bar stripes of white and orange, and bright orange/dark blue socks. Original, and would reflect an old time, hard element football.
This already feels like more thought than they put in. I want to know, where did this come from? How involved was Nike? Because I hate the fucks running the Bears, but I also hate Nike - I just want to make sure that THIS PARTICULAR hate is properly directed.
Yeah, and the play this year just might resemble division 2 play as well. Bears are just thinking about us as fans, setting expectations. I'll tell you though, they go on a winning streak with the orange tictacs and I'll get onboard.
