I wondered the same. I believe it is a mistake based on this:

Too bad. The white jerseys, tan pants, and 3 stripes on sleeve part is good, but the numbers and two of the stripes should've been navy and technically, the third stripe should've been orange and not red. The way Chicle did it kind of reminds me of a classic 49er uniform. I went back and looked at the black and white Beattie Feathers photo - if that was all you had to go on, red isn't a bad guess, but in some other b/w photos, the sleeve stripes are noticeably different colors. Also, I believe Halas based the Bears colors on the University OF Illinois colors, so red seems to be out of left field to me. Since Minnesota is Maroon and Gold, I bet some people (I think I even read this in an auction catalog once) think Nagurski is in a Minnesota uniform, but actually Feathers, Johnsos, and Masterson are outfitted the same as you pointed out. Nagurski is wearing the Chicle version of the Bears uniform.
