They aren't bad per se imo, just immensely boring. Like why doesn't it have some cool gold shadow poo poo on the numbers or stripes on the pants or something.

Yeah, gold accents of any kind (drop shadow, striping, etc.) would elevate these from terrible/boring to at least alright. As is, it's like a really bad ripoff of the Bears throwbacks.

They have red and gold to work with and they pick black as the primary color? They could have done a super cool white on white with gold like the Saints.

People with certain kinds of color blindness will love these because there isn't much contrast between the numbers and the jersey color.

Christ those jerseys are super boring.

This was in the email they sent out:

quote:

The San Francisco 49ers introduced a new look to their team uniforms, an alternate version that brings the team’s traditional accent color of black to the forefront as the primary color of the team’s jerseys and pants.
I'm guess a single black line outlining the 49ers logo counts as an "accent color" because they 49ers haven't had black on their jerseys since 2008. Hardly what I'd call "traditional".

The high res pictures make them look...better, but they are specifically photographed with a black background that works. They won't look that good on a bright green field and they are only so so with professional photography.

I hate unnecessary black alternates. On a weird note, the Raiders have a gold alternate that they'll supposedly wear.

This is one of the few times I'm happy that there is a restriction on the number of games that a team can play with alternate uniforms. As an aside, the 49ers have had an alternate uniform in the past and it was pretty bad, but not nearly as bad as this one. Death to the Nike uniforms.

I don't think the black and red jerseys are bad in and of themselves, but they really don't work for the Niners, especially with the helmets staying the same.

Got a chance to see the uniforms in person this morning, they're actually not bad. Boring as poo poo, but not terrible.

Armstead, however, was a dumb dumb pick. He would have been fine in round two or a steal in round three, but gently caress. At least trade back again and get more picks before wasting your first rounder on a developmental shithead :(

My biggest issue (besides just going all black to begin with) is just the complete lack of gold (other than the Nike swoosh) so those address that ok enough. Without it the helmet and uniform just look completely out of place with each other.

Also the Uniwatch guy is a 49ers fan :laugh:

Does anyone have any idea of a TOTALLY LEGAL BY THE BOOKS way to get a Cincinnati Tigers jersey that isn't $200? Or, a throwback Reds jersey from the 30s (literally the same jersey)?

Also, when looking around on that site I saw two thigns Darth Brooks might find pretty cool: A 1928 Duluth Eskimos jersey and a 1926 Rock Island Independents jersey. Both are awesome, but I just love that I saw them and recognized them from your work!

I do not wear this mask to protect me. I wear it to protect you from me.

That's awesome. (Both the jerseys and that your recognized them from my stuff) Now if I just had much more cash than I currently have I could get one.

is there any element of the niners offseason that hasn't been a complete disaster? i didnt follow their draft, did they pick anyone who could conceivably make a difference in an nfl game? did they replace the seats at levi's to beanbags filled with dried dog turds?
