whitedawg22 Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 I have no inside information, but I'll be kind of shocked if the new throwback isn't the 1994/1955 uniforms. Not only is it a good looking uniform that differs noticeably from the current set, but they won the Super Bowl the last year they wore it, and that's something cool. And 1994 was at the very start of the team apparel merchandising boom, so there aren't that many 1994 throwback jerseys floating around already. The 1959-63 jersey with the shoulder hoops is cool as well, but it's more or less the current road jersey with different sleeve striping. To the average fan, I'm not sure if that's enough of a difference to buy another jersey, which is ultimately the point of any alternate uniform. oh ,my god ,i strong recommend you to have a visit on the website ,or if i'm the president ,i would have an barceque with the anthor of the articel .

The_Creek Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 From Al Guido (the 49ers team president), it appears to be the case. No other historical throwback is mentioned, not even the Silver/Red teams of the early 60s. It will be probably be those 1994 throwbacks (based on the 1955 throwbacks) with minor modifications for today's player. https://www.ninersnation.com/2018/5/22/17380812/49ers-alternate-throwback-uniform-announcement-on-wednesday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DG_ThenNowForever Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Those 1994 throwbacks are SO BORING. They look like an Eastbay catalogue set that somehow made it into a Super Bowl. I'll never understand why people like them. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the 94 49ers (fun!) swapped distinct gold pants for boring white ones and removed color from the road set. It's an especially egregious simplification of a sports uniform. I get why they did it in 94, but I can't understand why they'd go back to it. Especially since the Owens/Garcia-era uniforms blended the best of both the throwback and Montana-era uniforms so well. However, if this means that terrible black set disappears forever, then that's pretty good. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's an awful look: The real question will be whether they're detail-oriented enough to swap the current helmet logo (gold oval inside the black oval, slight drop shadow on the SF) for the '90s one when they wear the throwbacks. Of course, the actual 1955 uniforms used plain red helmets, so we'd be talking about a 1994 throwback rather than a 1955 one. oh ,my god ,i strong recommend you to have a visit on the website ,or if i'm the president ,i would have an barceque with the anthor of the articel .

However, if this means that terrible black set disappears forever, then that's pretty good. I remember the 94 set when it came out feeling quite refreshing. White pants felt clean compared to the dull brown (not really gold) pants that the Niners had been wearing. Moreover they incorporated exactly the right amount of black: straight drop shadow and the middle stripe on the pants only. The Owens/Garcia uniforms by contrast were really busy: extra gold outlines on the numbers, black shadow on the sleeve stripes, oval logo overlaying the stripes, and outer black stripes on the pants. So the 94 throwbacks struck a really nice balance. Also bringing up the Elephant in the room: the 1994 team destroyed everyone in the NFL that season. They were a bulldozer. The Owens/Garcia teams were good but never dominant like the 1994 team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScubaSteve Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 So from a jersey perspective, not much more than a drop shadow? Don't get me wrong, the Niners have always looked great, but I'd love to see an alternate that breaks the mold (not black though). Always wanted to at least SEE a gold jersey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOOVER Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 The '94 uniform looked pretty damn good - it was the '96-'08 unis that were atrocious, mainly due to the darker Red and overuse of Black. The '94 unis had a nice balance and great memories attached to them. If it's not these, it has to be either the UCLA stripe with White pants, or a uniform that basically matched the mock-up released on Twitter a few months back - both will look excellent.

Always wanted to at least SEE a gold jersey As a Niners fan, my thoughts exactly. I always thought we should've went all gold for Color Rush. It upsets me that gold isn't stressed more since that's one of our 2 primary colors, especially on fan apparel. I'm excited to see what we roll out tonight.

They went 15-1 that year in the throwbacks. The only loss coming in the final game of the regular season, in which Steve Young sat out for the greater part.

phutmasterflex Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Steve Young was ready to kill Seifert that afternoon I feel like it's going to be the 1994 throwbacks but with TV numbers. Go A's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lately, it seems like the modern materials can't facilitate a proper metallic gold, which comes off looking more like khaki. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
