They better not fix the stripes on the sleeves. I just received my "authentic" willis jersey.

i wonder if the same people who make fun of crabtree for wanting to be a clothing designer are criticizing and suggesting changes to the 49ers uniforms

Why are our pants now green? I like gold better.

Here's what I propose (with picture of Bly for reference) for fixing the uniforms.
A) Drop the gold circle from the logo (fill it with red). The gold isn't blending in with the helmet. Basically you'll have combined the old logo with the 96 logo (the 96 logo is more streamlined). I'll post an example tomorrow (when I get home).
B) Lower the logo. To me it looks like its centered to high. Move it down a bit and it'll look better
C) The stripes. Make them like last years uniforms (but solid white stripes). There's a lot of ample space between the sleeve and the pads where it they would work perfectly.See Pittsburgh's uniforms as an example of what I'm talking about. That will still allow the stripes to be there, but allows players to tuck their sleeves (or wear the elastic that some do).
D) The pants. Even though I feel these aren't the regular season pants, if they are though, here's what I propose. Bring back the shiny gold. Also, no knee high pants like what Bly is wearing, it just looks stupid.
A few tweaks and this uniform set will be perfect, they're not far off.
Strongly agree on all points......send the memo to Jed!!![ Edited by nw9erfan on Aug 24, 2009 at 12:28 AM ]

Shade of red looked great in the sunlight during 1st quarter of raider game. Like many, I'm hoping the dull, greenish gold in the pants is just for preseason and the shiny pants will be worn for the regular season.

What's up with everyone wanting shiny gold pants? This is football. We're the 49ers. If you want shiny gold pants go watch some ballerinas performing or something. Just my opinion: I like the uniforms the way they are. If anything, there's already too much gold in the home jerseys. I would've like to see maybe a little more white or even white pants with gold/red stripes. Either way, I like the new uniforms.
