Let’s Make Old Uniforms New Again and Other Bears Bullets

I made my family’s Puerto Rican rice yesterday. It was OK. But just OK isn’t good enough for me. Because even though it looked good and passed the smell test, the rice wasn’t perfectly cooked. And as someone who is my own harshest critic, I spent a good chunk of my night re-tracing what I could have done differently and what I will do to change it up next time.

One of the challenges in cooking long-time family recipes comes when I realize whatever I do won’t be as good as the way my mother or grandmother made it.. Some things aren’t as good as the original. But from there, that’s when evolution happens. I can’t wait to get back in the kitchen and go back to work.

  • Let’s make this happen for real:

  • The white-on-white Bears uniforms are some of the freshest in franchise history. They’re timeless. That’s how you know a uniform set is good. If you can plop it down in any era, you know you’ve designed a classic uniform. To ask the Bears to bring these back on a full-time basis is a big ask. But remember, you can’t get what you don’t ask for, so let’s try and push to make this happen and maybe the Bears will bring them back as their 2020 color rush option.
  • Look good, play good:
  • The only thing that would’ve made this Bears win better is the Rams wearing their classic uniforms. They should’ve never gone to the navy look. Some designs should never be touched.
  • Want to take another trip in the wayback Machine? The Bears’ official YouTube page has made available the team’s Week 11 win against the Cowboys from 1985 available for viewing. It features Pat Summerall and John Madden on the call, Mike Ditka in a sweater vest, and Tom Landry’s hat! This game has it all!
  • Rude and savage:

  • Part of me feels bad for Mitch Trubisky, who simultaneously takes heat for never throwing downfield, but also always missing downfield. But part of me can’t help but chuckle at the bit. Moving on.
  • You really can’t go wrong with any three you pick here …
  • … but choosing Doug Buffone (1), Dick Butkus (4), and Brian Urlacher (5) covers all angles.
  • 13/10. Would draft:

  • Happy Easter from the land of Da Bears:
