Definitely on TNF against Seattle. I think that's the game they debut. Bowman said the black unis mean business. To me, the first order of business is reclaiming the division by kicking Seattle's ass and sending a message to the league.

F yeah!

This is what I think too.
I'm guessing pre-season opener.



Never I hope. Our alternate jerseys suck.

Totally agree.....any game that the primary's are shelved is a waste. Totally forced gimmick, that there was no need for.

I have to disagree. I certainly understand the sentiment, though. But, by adorning black jerseys, we are not saying anything about our past, but a great deal about our future. These niners aren't your niners, our your father's niners, but the niners of a new generation. Think of it this way. This is an attitude thing. We just witnessed a mini-run, it ended unceremoniously. Those dudes, and many of them were there during it, have not forgotten at all what happened. The black means business.

In general, and this is just me, I do not care if we come out in lipstick pink; we are the niners. We win with the red, white, and BLACK.

I realize it's just an alternate and perhaps it will look better on the field then it did in its press releases. However, I'm just a firm believer in tradition and when you have a tradition as good as the niners it should be celebrated (speaking of which, the Quentin font needs to comeback ASAP). It's still fresh in my mind '96-'08 were we did not look like ourselves.

I don't know, these black end zones (if a full time thing) just seems like an effort to make it seem like black is more prominent in our color scheme that it is or has every really been. I just just think we dropped the ball on our alternate. An update version of our '94 throws would have looked great, been a nice change of pace and would have allowed us to look like any of our past championship team a any point through the season. Having said all of that, if the players are somehow insirped by these alternates and it leads to huge wins then I'm all for it. Despite my vocal objection to the Alts all I really care about winning.
Probably aiming at half of the home games to wear the black jerseys, but I'll go with the only 3 night games:

Vikes
Seatrash
Bengals

Will be surprised to see these on the road...I want the damn 94 throwbacks instead!!!!

I believe you are only allowed by league rules to wear an alt jersey twice in a year.

Not to harp on it, but even then that's 2 times too many IMO. I am also a huge fan of the 94 throws. That should have been the alt.

I really like the Black unis as a change up. It would have been interesting to see an all Red alternate as well. I think we rock em twice. The Sunday nighter and Thursday nighter.

I can't see the home opener being in black - but then again maybe thats the start of the new "attitude" thing.

i am with you on 94 - those were sweet. and resulted in a big win.
