At the risk of injecting practicality into this, the Bears have a AAA program now, and like any number of other clubs, have some rebranding to do, which includes having tier1 Jerseys that will be different than Tier2. They decided to drop the "Golden" from the name, and go with "California Bears." They have had tournament teams in the past that went with a different color scheme, so this is actually nothing new for them.
