"Old = better" is a lazy take, especially when this is objectively better:

The white helmet is objectively better for the Bills. The red helmet is too busy

 

Perfectly reasonable opinions, but how are either of these statements "objective"?

I think it’s based on the assumption that this logo was designed for use on a white helmet, which I think is accurate

The 9ers did get approval to wear their throwbacks throughout the playoffs in 94 including the super bowl

 

My memory fails me here..  For that '94 season, were the 49ers the only team to hang onto their throwback unis after the designated throwback weekends? I know Dallas wore those star-shouldered alt unis a few times, including the NFCCG, but those weren't their original '94 throwbacks.

With the Rams confirming blue over yellow (a rarely worn combo this season), it brings to mind the question, when is the last time any team won a playoff game and then WILLINGLY wore a different combination the following week? I can’t recall.

God this Niners-Packers game looks so good.

I agree. Though it still bothers me the niners going to 2 stripes on the primaries even though the throwbacks clearly show they can have the classic 3 stripe.

 

And also the random niners going all white on the socks.

The mismatch between the 49ers helmets and pants is almost as annoying as the Cowboys.   I’m also annoyed, albeit less so, by their era-mismatched helmet logo.

I came across a concept that modernized the logo, but kept it recognizable.

 

I didn’t like the uniforms, but if you want to see the full concept, here it is: http://www.joshleguern.com/49ers-rebrand

Is there a guy on SF wearing jersey number 02??? I’m certain I just saw someone in 02.

In progress: 49ers-Bengals, Part III

Well this confirms the NFC will have a repeat team from the last three years. Though the Rams would now have dirty laundry uniforms.

The Giants, Packers and Lions wore their throwbacks way more than the rest of the league but the 49ers adopted it as the permanent uniform for the rest of the season. It seems like the response to the Giants throwback is why they went back to the NY logo 5-6 years later.

Patriots and Broncos both chose to wear white jerseys in the super bowl as the "home" team when they both wore their colored jerseys the week before. Packers did the inverse in 2010 where they won all their playoff games in white and decided to wear colored jerseys in the super bowl.

Which this isn't a logo I would necessarily endorse, at least the "SF" are somewhat centered in the oval.

 

That's the one thing that bothers me about the Niners' current logo, the "S" virtually being centered and the "F" being on the very far right.

 

[Cujo]

What a visual -- especially once the snow hit!

 

 

[Old School Fool]

This should be the 49ers logo. The centering of the SF is better when the logo isn't bloated by the gold outline.  I never liked that gold outline.

It’s just folded at a weird angle. Here’s his jersey from a different game with the same issue

I realized the 2017 Patriots did in fact do this most recently. But I mean more from wildcard to divisional or divisional to championship game, it seems like every mix and match team hops on the superstition train.

I totally like the black and gold on the 49ers logo, and the clarity is far batter at a distance which is a very important thing. 

 

This to me is a prime example of people never being satisfied and always looking for something to be critical of, no matter what.

 

When SF first changed their uni's in the post Eddie DeBartolo years ago by making the red darker, changing the helmet decal to the current logo which is now worn on their helmets and dumping that red face-mask..  The 49ers current logo is far superior thanks to the black accent making it really stand out.  

 

How having the 'S' ever so slightly more to the centre of the oval than the 'F' is just downright nitpicking. The only thing that should be tweaked is if NIKE loses the NFL apparel contract and the new mfgr made the burnished gold pants with the glossy metallic shine that matches their helmet that they used to have pre-2012 with Reebok.  

 

I'm glad they went back to their classic gray face-masks and embrace the old wordmark in the end-zone from the Candlestick years.
