Add, gulp, at least the Packers, and probably 49ers to the list of teams that have stayed true to their tradition of wearing dark at home. My opinion is I wouldn't want the NFL to make a rule about it. Let the Eagles, Redskins, Jaguars, etc, etc, continue their fads of switching back and forth between white and dark at home. I even have some respect for the Cowboys because they consistently have worn white at home. But the Bears, it bothers me that they went faddish since 2005 of wearing white at home once in a while. This is a big disappointment to me. Eric, Thanks for posting your opinion!

The Bears, the Raiders, the Steelers (since the 70s), and the Vikings are most of the teams that have done so. When the Bears did this two years ago against my hometown Lions, I was so confused; but the rationale from Lovie Smith was that they do this for the first home game because of the heat. Well, last Sunday was just nice; it was mild. There must be another reason. NFL teams (some of them) seem to believe that wearing white jerseys on hot days give that particular team an advantage. Well, I've seen the Steelers wearing their black jerseys in Houston on a hot day kick the Titans all over the field. It's lame. The NFL needs a standard uniform policy regarding jersey colors for home and away teams. When NHL teams began to wear "alternative" jerseys at home (these alternative jerseys were dark), the league mandated that home teams were dark jersyes. The NFL needs to do this.

It was an absolute, a constant, not up for debate and not subject to change. Gotta agree here – this was how I learned about the home team colors in my youth, the Bears wear Navy at home.
