SportsFan12 Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 This is the last time I recall seeing a different uniform matchup between the Cowboys and 49ers. Oddly, this was actually the weekend before Thanksgiving of the 2008 season. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless they give special permission, I doubt we see three black uniform games plus a color rush game. If I had to pick one, I would designate the Week 15 game vs PIT for the permission-required third alt appearance. Otherwise, they'd just go with purple/white if I had to give up that and not change the other two games I had with the black jerseys.

Those 49ers uniforms are vastly superior to what they're wearing now. 3 1 2 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked that they were using real gold instead of that khaki nonsense they wear now...but with the black highlights and drop-shadow numbers I think they were too busy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some tweaks I'd make to them in an ideal world, but yeah, at least they aren't as dull as the current look.

I seriously doubt they'll ever intentionally do so again. For some reason the league allows the Ravens to exceed the limit of 3 times. Or even 2 back when that was the limit. I suppose the league grants Baltimore special permission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruttep Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 The late 90s/early 00s uniforms weren't bad as far as redesigns from that era go, but there's no world where I wouldn't consider them a massive downgrade from the classic Niners look. I have two main problems with them: The shoehorning of black into the uniforms. I get that black is in the logo, but I don't think it was necessary and made the striping and numbers too busy. The darkening of the red. Why, why, why, why, why. The brighter and bolder the red, the better for the Niners in my opinion. This change in the red was as bad as the Eagles flipping kelly for midnight green. "Tougher," yes, but duller. The best change that the return to the classics made was a return to a brighter red. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First of all, I definitely knew I'd be stirring the pot with that take, but it wasn't just to be gratuitous. I do not want to go straight to jail. Also, I'm totally on board with pretty much all of ruttep's take. The darkening of the red was unnecessary, and the black could have been more elegantly utilized. But the current uniforms are simply straight fan service - grey face masks especially. I get that all of the team's titles came in those old uniforms, but now, so has their 3-straight Super Bowl defeats. At least the '08 uniforms had some integration of the complete palette of team colors, and also did their best to create a comprehensive uniform as opposed to the nondescript 70s era mail order catalog they wear now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously can't speak for the whole fanbase, but I'd much rather stick with the fanservice uniforms than roll the dice on a "modern" updated take on Niners uniforms and end up with an overdesigned Nike disaster. I appreciate the team choosing to look that way and sticking with it: Only one pair of pants (and in theory, only one pair of socks) is ever worn with either primary uniform. I prefer that to looking completely unrecognizable every five years. I also simply think the current uniforms are good uniforms. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But since a graphic designer, I amn't, you get a chunk of text: Week 1- vs Washingtons -- white/white Week 2- at Lions -- white/white Week 3- vs Broncos -- white/pewter Week 4- vs Eagles -- creamsicles (probably not so early in the season but this game is on my birthday so a boy can dream) Week 5- at Falcons (TNF) -- white/pewter (+falcons wear throwbacks, chef's kiss) Week 6- at Saints -- white/pewter Week 7- vs Ravens (MNF) -- red/pewter Week 8- vs Falcons -- red/pewter OR creamsicles if I don't get my birthday wish Week 9- at Chiefs (MNF) -- white/pewter Week 10- vs 49ers -- red/pewter Week 11- BYE -- pajamas/t-shirts + sweatpants/gym shorts/boxers/briefs Week 12- at Giants -- white/white Week 13- at Panthers -- white/pewter Week 14-vs Raiders -- pewter/pewter nonsense Week 15- at Chargers -- white/pewter Week 16- at Cowboys (SNF) -- red/white (they wore this combo last time they played at Dallas and they whooped 'em) Week 17- vs Panthers -- red/pewter Week 18- vs Saints -- red/pewter It would be amazing if they somehow broke out the creamsicles against the Falcons in potentially their throwbacks on TNF. Probably won't happen, but would be cool as heck. They could wear white/white more on the road like they did last year. I picked that combo for the Giants game for literally no apparent reason. Tampa's uniform combos tend to get boring in the second half of the year, but here's hoping we at least get a few red/pewter games like I am "predicting." Here ya go, translated the chunk of text into images I do hope we get this many red/pewter games. Personally, I don't see them starting to wear red at home for a day game until the final two weeks of the season, but we'll see. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I'm definitely questioning my week 8 vs the Falcons choice, possibly week 10 vs the Niners, and as another user mentioned they've been wearing WAH against the Panthers late in the year recently. So I'm probably way off on some of these. Still really appreciate the graphics man! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last few years they've only ever worn all-white when the home team is wearing all-black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GUD has already created 2024 season pages with each team's schedule, but with placeholder images for obvious reasons. Use inspect element and replace the placeholder image. Links to each uniform combo on GUD should be pretty easy to find. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
