On October 7, 2002 the Bears wore navy blue pants with their navy blue home jerseys for the first time, and lost at home to Green Bay before a national Monday Night Football audience. The Bears then wore the all-blue combination again until the 2006 regular season finale against the Packers, also a loss, on December 31. As part of the NFL Color Rush initiative, the Bears donned their all-blue uniforms for two "Thursday Night Football" games against the Packers: a 26–10 loss on October 20, 2016, and a 35–14 defeat on September 28, 2017. The Bears also wore the combination for the 2017 season opener against the Atlanta Falcons. In 2003 and 2008, along with the final two away games in the 2006 season, the Bears wore all-white uniforms for every road trip.
