The Chicago Bears debuted their alternate orange helmet in Thursday night’s game against the Washington Commanders.
Not only is Chicago wearing an orange helmet, but they’ve decided to pair it with their alternate orange jersey. And it’s a whole lot of orange.
The Bears will wear this uniform combination twice in the next three games, with the next time coming in Week 8 against the Dallas Cowboys (just in time for Halloween).
As you can imagine, you either love or hate the orange helmet and jersey combination. So it’s not exactly a surprise to see NFL fans are divided about whether these uniforms are straight fire or an abomination.
Here’s how Twitter is reacting to the Bears’ orange helmet and jersey combination:
people are really knockin these? https://t.co/77YCaaPA6W

These Bears’ orange uniforms look nice, but the orange helmets make me think we’re watching a Browns game tonight.

Seeing these Bears unis… I'm usually not the kind to speak out against alternate uniforms because I'm not an old, but I think we can all agree that orange is more of an accent color and not a good primary color.

As a Bears fan I would love for them to never wear the orange helmets again

The #Bears orange jerseys look too much like Clemson's and now I can't unsee it

With the Bears' orange slices, it's going to be the most USFL match ever. https://t.co/HtmztmxNDd

Those orange helmets the bears got on should be banned.

I am prepared to either buy an authentic orange Bears helmet or demand they be fired into the sun. Time will tell. No further questions at this time.

I’m not a fan of the all orange Bears attire. It’s too orange. They’re not pumpkins. They don’t work at Home Depot. Gotta offset all that orange. #toomuch #DaBears

i know you've all been waiting for me to weigh in on the hottest topic of the day, the bears' helmet/uniform situation
i think they're fine, i'd probably prefer if they went with a non-orange jersey if they're gonna wear the orange helmets but it could be worse

Ain’t gonna lie, the orange helmets for the Bears are VERY hard on the eyes with the orange tops

They do not….

the orange helmet and jersey combo is still an abomination but the bears will have to wear it every week if justin fields plays lights out in a home night game, unfortunately.
those are the rules— Robert🌙 (@RobertZeglinski) October 13, 2022
