These Niners jerseys look so good. Always liked the ‘94 unis even if the dropshadows are blatant BFBS.

 

Is it BFBS tho? The 49ers logo is outlined by a thick black oval

The Niners wore red, white, and gold uniforms for nearly 50 seasons (save 1955) before 1994. Ask anyone what the Niners’ colors are and they’d say red white and gold. I’ve always considered it BFBS.
 

I will admit though that I had no idea they wore uniforms with dropshadows before 1994. Always thought that kind of came completely out of the blue.

IDK if Fox is using a filter or something, but the bone jerseys are looking very white in highlights of this game until they show a Rams player close up

Bone was an awful choice because it only

looks right in certain lightings.

I remember last season, there was a lighting or camera issue that caused the Steelers jersey to look slightly cream colored when they played the Giants

 

Looked good on them.

Grey facemasks just don’t work for the vast majority of teams in today’s game

 

For most teams I would prefer a colored mask. For the teams with classic looks I generally wouldn't mind a gray mask, but would still prefer color in most instances. For the Browns, I want them to look like the most old-timey football team that's ever existed. They've never had a helmet logo, and they're named after a guy that used to be their coach back when we had leaded gasoline. They should wear gray masks, and exclusively wear white pants. The craziest thing I will accept is putting numbers on the helmets full-time and even then I feel like I should be burned at the stake for such progressive views.

Bears-Browns was such an aesthetically pleasing game. Wouldn’t want it to replace the current set, but I love that throwback as an alternate for the Browns.

The 49ers throwbacks make me remember how bad Nike screwed up their uniforms when they first took over. Unless cutting off the 3 stripes was an intentional design choice (looking like an old jersey cut?), then there is no reason that Nike should have screwed them up if they have pulled it off here with all that limited sleeve space.

 

That was actually the stripe design the niners used at that time.

 

In 09 when they ditched the underrated 90s make over they bastardized the look by using a weird truncated sleep stripe design. We can blame reebok but ultimately it was the teams final say. 

 

When nike took over in 2012 they kept the stripes the same even though they can clearly make it work. They've now changed again to just 2 thick stripes which has never been the niners, so dumb.

 

My guess is that it's to sell more jerseys. They can now sell a current with the truncated/ now 2 stripes and they can also sell the same thing as a throwback with the proper stripes. Double dip.

Maybe... but the 55 uniforms they were patterned after also black drop shadows. With the lack of options for a throwback during that 75th throwback season it was pretty much only logical option.

 

So seeing as the only difference is keeping the shell gold instead of buying new helmets in silver, it was as close to a throwback as they were going to get. Wasn't bfbs.

Is SF going to use the red throwbacks next year?  Since it's based on the 1994 throwbacks, the 49ers should wear them for one or two of the opponents on their home slate next year in 2022; the Buccaneers, Saints, and Chargers. It would be fitting. These were teams that they played during that 1994 season.

I think the Panthers wear black pants and save the white pants for their other blue Jersey game in Miami.

 

Dolphins are rumored to be in white throwback and I could definitely see that happening.

 

Really hope you’re right about the Titans, but it’ll most likely be back to navy pants.

 

Hope for burgundy pants from Washington to add some life to that matchup, but after that blowout loss, they may in fact switch to white.

 

Not sure I see the Saints in anything other than all black in their actual home opener.

[Moseph]

I think Washington will be in burgundy pants again this week and I hope the Falcons go with white pants

I wish the Bucs wore the red jersey for the game at Sofi Stadium instead of the pewter uniforms. It would be  a miracle if they audible into it.

 

Even some white or maybe red pants would have vastly improved their look. Still, I'll echo the statement that it's pretty idiotic that one of the marquee games of the year was essentially monochrome light grey vs monochrome dark grey.

And to think I didn’t think the Lions could look worse this week than they did last Monday night. Really wasn’t expecting to see those pitiful alts so early in the season, which probably means we’ll see them again at least once.

 

Hopefully the stink of losing a game at the last second by giving up the longest FG in NFL history is enough to convince them to mothball these uniforms.

 

I'm not sure if this is an unpopular opinion or not, but if the Lions weren't going straight back to the throwback set they should have just kept the last BFBS uniforms. Those were much better than the double grey.

[Sport]

The Bengals did end up going with black socks and I think it's a huge improvement over the same look with the all-white socks. 

 

[DCarp1231]

I don’t see Washington going with white pants and white socks ever.

 

It’ll either be burgundy pants-white socks or white pants-burgundy socks.

On second thought, today's Bucs-Rams unis aren't all that bad..

 

Remember when we thought yellow jerseys were the worst thing the Rams could do? Those were good times.

There are certain matchups where the brown pants make sense, but for the Vikings orange would've been ideal.

 

Also, that Rams look was fine and the Bucs weren't that bad looking either.
