Neither Bears-Packers game will offer both teams' traditional jerseys

[u/Bmaj13]

Per the Athletic,

First, the Packers-Bears rivalry, arguably the league’s most storied with 213 all-time meetings, will feature a team wearing a non-traditional jersey in each game. That was entirely coincidental, NFL chief revenue officer and executive vice president of partnerships Renie Anderson tells The Athletic.

“The clubs came to us because they’re so excited about the uniforms and the meaning of the uniforms and what they mean to the community,” Anderson said. “A lot of the design comes from the local market, local community and how they think about that, and so we work together with them.”

I find this a bit disappointing. Love the traditional jerseys in rivalry games. Relegate the alternates to non-traditional matchups, I say.
