Much better than before. That said, it's too bad that the seam on the upper chest is located up so high - the team logo would look better if it fell above the seam, rather than below it. As it is, it's awkwardly down low. When the current uniforms first debuted in 1998, the logo was placed up higher: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will look perfectly fine when wet because it's basically all one material (aside from the shoulder loops). That's the problem with the current template because there are so many different panels and various materials. Each one reacts a little differently and can appear unlike the material next to it. That's where this one will be superior because it's a single material and all of the mesh is laser cut into the fabric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could also be that NFL sleeves have gotten so small they's rather sacrifice the 3rd stripe instead of chop it in half like Addias atrociously did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt the 49ers changed the striping because of Nike. Nike doesn't have a problem with the Bears having three stripes on their jerseys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There really is no *good* place to put one of those chest patches. And get rid of those hideous captain's patches while we're at it. They hit the trifecta of being pointless, ugly, and off-center.

I think the Jets need to have a slightly lighter shade of green. Hopefully it looks as good in the field as it does in the photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not all the way Kelly Green but a happy medium would be nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jezus_Ghoti Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 There is definitely room for 3 stripes in the space Nike put 2 stripes on those new 49ers jerseys. The old 3 stripes were quite thin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why rebook deliberately cut off the lowest stripe; Nike's solution to the same problem is to remove it entirely. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

There is room to put a third stripe in the middle of the 2 stripes, so I have to disagree with you here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While they don't have 3 wrap around stripes, the placement is by far superior. For the 9ers they have a long history of messed up stripes going back to the late 80's when players started to have their sleeves customized tailored for tightness which removed the stripes entirely in the process.

WavePunter Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 the real issue is their stubborn insistence on having the stripes be perfectly horizontal, as well as mandating they be as low as they are.. there technically is room for them, but not with the constraints that the 49ers have placed on nike..
