For the 2004 Thanksgiving Day game against the Dallas Cowboys, the Bears wore orange throwback jerseys. On November 13, 2005 and October 29, 2006 (both times in games against the San Francisco 49ers), the Bears introduced a different version of the orange jersey as an alternate. The orange swaps roles with the navy blue on this alternate jersey, as it becomes the dominant color while the navy complements. The Bears also donned the orange jerseys on October 28, 2007 against the Detroit Lions, a game that they lost 16–7. The Bears again wore the orange jerseys for the fourth consecutive year on October 19, 2008 when they hosted the Minnesota Vikings. The jerseys were replaced by throwback uniforms in 2012; their last game had been a November 2011 victory over the Lions. In 2018, defensive lineman Akiem Hicks tweeted his interest and supported an online petition calling to bring back the orange jerseys, while team chairman George McCaskey also voiced his approval of the design. The Bears followed by announcing the decision in March. In 2010, the Bears introduced throwbacks representing the original Monsters of the Midway of the 1940s. They wore the uniforms against the Green Bay Packers on September 27, 2010 and against the Vikings on November 14 later that season. Both of those games were wins for the Bears. The throwbacks made a return for the 2012 season as the NFL switched to Nike uniforms. Despite reintroducing the orange jerseys for the 2018 season, the throwbacks were retained for the New York Jets game. To celebrate the team's centennial anniversary in 2019, throwback uniforms based on the 1936 combination were introduced. For the 2005–07 and 2010 home openers, and two games in 2019 donning their 1936 throwbacks, the team wore the white jerseys with the navy blue pants, and is 6–0 in these games, beating the Lions in 2005, 2006, and 2010, beating the Kansas City Chiefs in 2007, and beating the Minnesota Vikings and Dallas Cowboys wearing the 1936 throwbacks in 2019.
