The Bears 100th-season celebration weekend is just one week away, and the team announced it will unveil a new classic jersey for one of their games this year. But Dick’s Sporting Goods may have already spoiled the surprise, as one fan stumbled upon a new Bears jersey at one of the stores in the Chicago suburbs.
Twitter user @Strum0085 posted a photo of a Bears Khalil Mack jersey, officially licensed by the NFL, at the Dick’s store in Algonquin, Illinois.
Paul Lukas of Uni-watch.com revealed that the jersey appears to be based on the Bears’ 1936 uniforms.
The Bears will announce the new throwback uniform next week, so fans will know soon enough whether this leak is legitimate or not. The Bears will also wear their traditional navy and white uniforms as well as the orange jerseys for a second consecutive year. If the leak is true, it’s also unclear whether the Bears will wear this at home or on the road since it is a white jersey.
The Bears100 Celebration takes place June 7-9 at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, Illinois.
