Should we let Nike "go for it" on a new niner uniform?

Quentin stripes on the yellow pants in the red endzones!
The 49ers just switched to their new uniforms last season. So why even bother discussing whether or not the 49ers should switch to new uniforms again?

WRONG

It was 2009 when they made the change to the current design (the whole league switched to Nike this past season, but a manufacturer switch doesn't count). A team can only redesign their unis after 5 seasons have elapsed, so 2014 (the new stadium inaugural season) is the earliest the Niners can fix the sleeve stripes or have Nike go full blown Oregon on them.
all nike has to do is fix those ugly ass collars and theyre good

Good Lord no Oregon-treatment.

I have a feeling Nike will soon convince the league to let them design home & away futuristic uniforms for all 32 teams. Then once or twice a year, each team wears them, kinda like throwback uniforms.

Fans get a new alternate jersey, everyone makes money, and the traditional uniforms live on.
