The Chicago Bears will simply pair their navy blue home jerseys (which the team typically wears with white pants) with their navy blue pants (which are typically worn with white road jerseys):

The "Color Rush" initiative will get back to bright colors next week when the Jacksonville Jaguars and Tennessee Titans break out the gold and light blue uniforms, respectively, they unveiled last season:
