NFL announces update on Bears-Packers Week 16 matchup

NFL releases a uniform update for Bears’ Week 16 game against the Packers

The NFL posted photos of Chicago’s Rivalries uniform in collaboration with Nike. It features a dark navy base with orange drop-shadowed classic block numbering. The sleeve details include stripes framed with thin orange borders, along with custom shoulder patch emblems.

It also has a navy jersey collar with orange accents near the V-neck split. The overall vibe is a retro-inspired throwback design, paying homage to traditional franchise aesthetics.

Many players likely circled Weeks 5 and 16 in their calendars, as they expect the games to be both intense. Last year’s meetings featured tightly contested matches, with the teams splitting the results. Green Bay won 28-21 in Week 14 before Chicago returned the favor with a 22-16 victory two weeks later.

The Bears bolstered their roster in the offseason with key veteran additions to address positional needs. Meanwhile, the Packers’ moves are headlined by the addition of defensive tackle Javon Hargrave and cornerback Benjamin St-Juste. Chicago will open its regular season on Sept. 13 against the Carolina Panthers. Green Bay will commence its slate with a road game versus the Minnesota Vikings on the same day.
