On Nov. 10, 2011, the Chicago Bears beat the Detroit Lions 37-13 and did so while wearing their orange alternate uniforms. The 2011 season was Reebok's last season as the uniform supplier for the NFL and Nike took over for the following campaign. During that transition, the Bears dropped their orange alternate look in favor of reviving their navy blue throwback look from 2010 by bringing it over to Nike's template. Sometimes all you need is a simple pallet swap and that's what the Bears accomplished with their orange alternate. So who do we have to thank for the Bears bringing back the orange look?
