The 49ers lead all NFL teams in total amount of opponents wearing an alternate/throwback against them, followed by the Giants, Panthers, and a few other teams. You can do 2 times or 1 in a game, that an opponent wore a jersey/uniform other than their normal sets against a team during the season, but the list is even bigger.

 

As of today, these are the list of the subject. They will most likely change when the next season comes along in 2020 and after.
