1990s
In 1994, to celebrate the NFL's 75th season, the Bears wear 'throwbacks' uniforms for three games. The look is based on the team's uniform in 1925-26, with orange vertical stripes on navy jerseys, and tan pants.

In 1999, after Walter Payton dies, the team wears on the jersey a memorial patch with his uniform number -- 34 -- on a football background. [Back to top]

I'd rather see them in those 20's throwbacks than the orange jerseys. At least those capture what all teams wore in those formative years on the NFL. Even those are classier than those orange pieces of shit with white pants and blue helmets. Those look like college unis for a Div-III school. Even Illinois wouldn't wear those.

Their Decatur Staleys uniforms? LOL

From The Bears Tradition; The Chicago Bears, originally called the Decatur Staleys when founded in 1920, wore blue jerseys with tan vertical striping in their inaugural season. The vertical stripes were actually strips of leather sewed onto the uniform to help the ball carrier to secure the ball. The pants were made of brown canvas and the jerseys of wool. The players number is only on the back of the jersey.

So pretty much like those 20's throwbacks they wore a few years ago.

The Bears with their stripes and the Pack with that bullseye, LOL. More like throwups than throwbacks.

My vote goes to the 40's era uni's hands down....

I'll tell you, we have the best regular jerseys in the business, even over the Dallas Cowboys. It's classic, and it never goes out of style. I like even the "C" on the helmet where there is orange inside the white outlining better than the solid white "C" they wore in the 50s and 60s and early 70s.
