The Chicago Bears tried to pull a fast on fans earlier this year with a "new" jersey idea. The team posted a video and numerous videos promoting a new look for the team with each jersey getting a "1" placed in front of the number to celebrate the team's 100-year anniversary. A video that was released featured chairman George McCaskey and quarterback Mitch Trubisky, while photos posted by the team had guys like Khalil Mack, Allen Robinson and Tarik Cohen rocking the look.

The only issue is it was all an April Fools' Day joke put on by the team. For those disappointed that the Bears did not announce a brand-new look for the upcoming season, they now have an answer to when they will get to see the new jersey. The team announced earlier this year that it will unveil a new classic jersey on June 7. The jersey unveiling will take place during the team's 100-year Celebration Weekend event.

The Bears noted on their website they will be wearing their traditional navy and white jerseys this upcoming season along with their alternate orange jersey and a new classic jersey. The team has been hinting at a special look for the upcoming season since last November. When the Bears unveiled their 100-year anniversary logo, McCaskey spoke about the organization having a special jersey for the upcoming year.

"We have a classic uniform that we're working on," McCaskey said at the time. "We are not ready to reveal the details... People are going to talk about it."

No other details have been made known about the new look. In addition to not knowing what the jersey looks like, the Bears have not hinted at how many times the new jersey will be worn this upcoming season. Chicago is set to host the Green Bay Packers in Week 1 in the first game of the NFL season to begin the 100-year celebration of both the Bears and the league.

Chicago brought back the orange jerseys last season after a brief hiatus. The team had been wearing its Monsters of the Midway throwbacks since 2012 twice a year. The Bears wore their orange jerseys twice in 2018—once at home against the Minnesota Vikings and once on the road against the Miami Dolphins—and wore the Monsters throwback once during the year. It appears this new classic jersey that is coming will be worn in place of the throwback the team has been wearing in recent years. It is also not known if this new classic jersey will become part of the team's long-term look as an alternate or be simply just a one-year event.
