The San Francisco 49ers held their annual State of the Franchise event at the California Theater in San Jose on Wednesday night. Team president Al Guido was the first on stage and made the following announcements, among others.
Throwback uniforms
The 49ers will bring back their fan-favorite all-white throwback uniforms this season and wear them during the team's Week 8 matchup against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday, October 27. 49ers players last wore the uniforms on October 21, 2018, against the Los Angeles Rams.
Terrell Owens 49ers Hall of Fame Induction
It was already known when the 49ers would induct former NFL wide receiver into the team's Edward J. DeBartolo Sr. San Francisco 49ers Hall of Fame. Guido made it official on Wednesday night announcing that the event would take place at halftime during the team's Week 3 home matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Classic end zones make a comeback
The 49ers end zones featuring the classic Quentin font are a fan favorite. Those end zones will make a return in 2019 and be in place for the whole season.
Kittle and Staley bobbleheads
The 49ers announced two new bobbleheads for the upcoming season. They will feature tight end George Kittle and tackle Joe Staley. The first will be available on October 27 against the Panthers while the second will be handed out on November 17 against the Arizona Cardinals.
