The Uniform Thread

Yeah, I liked to match up looks, namely an 80's style "summer uniform" (Aug-Sep) with the standard gold helmets and pants + white cleats, transitioning to "autumn unis" (Oct-Nov) where the dropshadow #'s, white or silver pants, and black cleats are gradually introduced, then the "winter uniform" (Dec-playoffs) with lots of red, white, and striped socks (For a Christmassy feel)...I liked to think having such a "scheduled" set of uniforms would also help identify which games were played which month lol

These were my concepts from a few years ago (2012)...



...team would've been all "Oregon" and transition to different sets every month. The alternate is a "fauxback" in that it is an adaptation/amalgamation of different elements from their past uniforms of the 50's and early 60's (namely the 1955 unis with dropshadows and white pants + the 1962-63 unis with silver helmets and pants). Notice I too liked the "49" shield logo as a jersey patch!

Alas, the stupid new rule banning different color helmet shells precludes these ever happening.

I wish we could do what New England has been doing since '03, two (reduced) white stripes above the upper portion of the socks.

This all goes back to the early 90's, when the Steve Young era began we ditched the stripes on our socks, and hence every other team but a few followed. It can work, it's just all about the length, and design.

Looking at twitter and seen the official Niners page tweet out this video, new stripes on the sleeve look sooo much better than the old ones.

Please, discuss everything uniform here. The NFL will be changing uniform brands from Adidas to Nike this year, so I thought I'd create a uniform thread. I heard they'll be changing the stripes on the 49ers uni's this year, but I don't see it reflected on the current jerseys being sold. It's still early, but I'm hoping this change happens sooner rather than later. Thank you and discuss.

I think they looked great. The sleeve stripes are consistent with the stripe on the helmet and pants.

Give the entire set a more uniform, for lack of a better term, look.
