The Chicago Bears and Philadelphia Eagles will be playing in a rare Friday game between two top NFC teams, and we know what they’ll wear for the special day.
Both teams come into the contest with identical 8-3 records, and both currently occupy the top spots in their respective divisions.
This game will be key for both clubs, as it will not only help them keep pace in a tough NFC playoff race, but it will also give them a tiebreaker over the other club, should they finish the regular season with identical records.
In the spirit of the holiday, one of the teams will be wearing a special uniform combination for the game.
The Eagles will be wearing all-black uniforms for the Black Friday game, with black helmets, black jerseys and black pants, with midnight green accents throughout the uniform.
The team is also encouraging fans attending the game at Lincoln Financial Field to wear black to the game.
The Eagles last wore the all-black uniform combination in a Christmas Day 2023 game against the New York Giants, opting to shed their normal look of a midnight green jersey or a Kelly green jersey.
As for the Bears, they will be wearing their traditional road uniforms for the game, with white jerseys, blue pants and blue helmets.
This season, the team has not used any alternate uniform combinations as they pay a season-long tribute to long-time owner Virginia McCaskey, who died earlier this year at the age of 102.
The team will still have the “VMH” patch on their uniforms, paying homage to McCaskey.
Kickoff between the Bears and Eagles is set for 2 p.m. Friday, with the game airing on Prime Video.
