TruColor 639 Posted April 25, 2009 Colorwerx: The shade of gold pants on these new uniforms are paler and lighter than the ones they are replacing. Definitely not the beige of the 80s and 90s... They are a lot shinier and less brown/tan. It could be the lighting that may be affecting the color -but the shade does look a lighter.Could be a fabric-type difference. The Gold is - according to the official specs - to be the same as the previous set. But, certainly different than the '80s-'90s shade. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So the uniform set is indeed a compromise of the Classic set and last year's set. They carried the monogram and the metallic gold from last year's set and integrated it with the styling points of the classic set including the cherry red jerseys. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TruColor 639 Posted April 25, 2009 Here are the 49ers' colors - as far as Pantone Textile colors go:That Red is - in fabric terms - exactly the same Red as used by the Falcons and Buccaneers. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can recall an article in which Jed York had these focus groups regarding the next 49er uniform back in 2008 and he said it was running 50/50 between classic and the 1996-2008 togs. This uniform is not a true throwback but the result of the opinion of these focus groups. That was probably another clue for this uniform - but it clearly isn't fully "championship" colors. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If not it's cool not sure how much info you can and cant share. I know it's on screen and screens and photo's no matter how well calibrated can be misleading but the red looks pretty close to pms187, am i close do i need to find better images?9erssteve 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IceCap 22,324 Posted April 25, 2009 Really, all these need are white facemasks. I think those would look sweet given the white middle stripe on the helmet. CW, any news about the logo? Is it the classic Montana-era logo or a recoloured version of the updated logo? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cujo 4,792 Posted April 26, 2009 Upon further review, the sleeves look pretty sweet.However, they could do better with a red facemask and bring back the classic '49ERS' script.Overall, I give the new uniforms a grade of B. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hecticbro 43 Posted April 26, 2009 Wow! They look like utter trash. What the hell is going on with those stupid sleeve stripes? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
