The big news in the NFL that dropped on Tuesday was the unveiling of this year's NFL "Rivalries" uniforms, which featured eight teams from the NFC North and AFC South, including the Chicago Bears.
Chicago's uniform combination went with a navy blue, orange lettering, with orange stripes on the side, orange pants, and an orange helmet that the team will feature on Christmas Day when they face the Green Bay Packers on Netflix.
While the new jerseys are a big topic of conversation among NFL media and Bears fans, one person who is not engaged in them is head coach Ben Johnson. When meeting with reporters on Tuesday, Johnson was asked about his thoughts on the new look for his team.
#Bears marketing department should be thrilled with Ben Johnson. He
was asked about club's rivalry uniforms that were unveiled this AM. He didn't know about them. "What uniforms?" Johnson asked. The franchise has a coach singularly focused on football. That's what matters.

"What uniforms?" Johnson asked, making it clear that his singular focus remains on winning football games.
While it may be a fun topic of conversation surrounding the Bears and their new-look uniforms, Johnson's sole focus being about the product on the football field should continue to raise his stock around the fanbase. There have been mixed reactions to Chicago's "Rivalries" collection, but there should be nothing but excitement for how Johnson is not distracted by anything other than what is happening on the field to put together a winning team.
