First, the team is finally moving away from the odd-looking two strips on the sleeves and bringing back the full three stripes that adorned the classic jerseys of the 80s and early 90s.
"After a five-year absence, 49ers standard home and away jersey sleeves will once again don three white stripes," the team explained via the announcement. "Reminiscent of Super Bowl victories and NFL legends, the three-stripe design dates back to the beginning of the Bay Area's oldest professional sports team."
Another minor but welcome change is adding what the team has dubbed its "Saloon font" logo to the front of the jerseys. It will be placed between the NFL shield on the collar and the player's number.
"First released in 1972, the 49ers Saloon wordmark is a custom design that previously stood as the franchise's primary wordmark for 32 years," the team wrote. "Throughout that period the 49ers won five Super Bowls, constructing a dominant reputation for the logo throughout professional sports. Placed below the neckline on standard 49ers jerseys and on rear helmet bumpers, the wordmark recalls the team's history and tradition for all to see."
If you want to buy these updated jerseys, you can do so here at the team's official online store.
The same Saloon font logo will also be added to the back of the helmets.
