spockEars7 Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 Anyone know what the story was behind the inconsistent presence of the NFL shield on the jersey collar of both the home and away 49ers jerseys during the 1994 season? Looking back at game photos of specific players, some games the shield was there, some games they weren’t. In the Super Bowl it looks like there was a mix of shield/no-shield jerseys.

Old School Fool Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 All throwback jerseys in 1994 did not have the NFL logo on them. Maybe they changed them to regular NFL logo jerseys when the 49ers petitioned the league to make them the home and road midseason and some players either kept theirs or switched to the new one. That's my guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my guess. That's exactly my thought as well. I bet if you looked at the date of those photos, while there's probably a little overlap, the majority of no-shield ones were early in the year, and the majority of shield ones were either playoffs or later in the year. EDIT: Actually, upon further review, it looks like some of the no-shield photos are from the Super Bowl, which makes little sense unless those guys just kept their early-season jerseys and the league didn't care because that was right around the time when Proline was starting and consistency wasn't the top priority. Or... who the hell knows. Also - never realized how different Deion's font was from the rest of the numbers. Stuff was weird back then. 2 Quote "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."
