The Bears will wear orange helmets Thursday for the first time in franchise history, and the player they chose as their model for social media marketing had some jokes ready.
Linebacker Roquan Smith said Tuesday he was fired up wear the uniforms. The Bears will have orange helmets, orange jerseys and white pants against the Commanders.
“It’s pretty sweet,” he said. “It’s a helmet. It’s orange. It’s different. But I think it’s pretty cool just to go out looking like a highlighter or something.”
The Bears will wear this uniform combination again on the road against the Cowboys on Oct.
