Alternate jerseys are ALWAYS about revenue. The team already has a good look. They want something new to market to the fans to sell more jerseys. The 49ers made this decision, not the players. Probably because they know the fans are going to be PISSED this year, and they arent going to be able to rely on the newness of the stadium to get fans to look past the ridiculous ticket pricing.

Players designed it, it takes years for it to go through the process. So they couldn't just do because of this year..tickets are not even that expensive

The players "designed" it? Its a black jersey with red numbers. What is there to design?

I repeat, ALL alternate uniforms are created for revenue. Always. Not because the player would like it.

All 49er stuff is intended for revenue.

The front office let the team decide what they wanted (designed) the Jersey to look like

If opinion of the design went south they can blame it on the players... makes sense

Right, the FO/marketing team said "New alt. jersey. What do you players want to see?". People act like the players banded together and requested it.

Could be something like this, but we'll still have the same gold helmets. NFL said players can only use one helmet per season. The bucs couldn't rock their old white helmets with the orange jerseys last year because of this new rule.

This would have been so much better, even with a gold helmet. Black or red face mask too. Don't love black but this looks pretty sick! Way better than those small school High School unis they came up with!!
Do other teams look for fan input on things like unis or stadiums? Why does management seem to miss the boat so badly?
Would seem like they would put some ideas out there and let us vote, at least so they have an idea what fans actually think.
Where's the gold? Where's the noise? Why no partial or retractable roof for shade, shelter, or to keep sound in?
Every effort they make to me is a total fail!!!
Frustrating

This was taken back in 2012. I like this look.

As long as they're alt uniforms still can't muster the energy to care a whole lot about this, but yeah, what they came up with is just stupid.

I like the jersey..it's the pants that need some work.

Yep. As I said earlier, let's see how many of those black jerseys Jed will sell to the people sitting on the sunny side of the house.

I predict they will sell a decent number of these jerseys initially but will quickly die out.

Were not the f**king Raiders

Where is the "like" button?

I like the jerseys but it seems like a lazy execution to me. They shouldve at least had gold trimming around the numbers. There is no gold on the Jersey at all. I like the black in black but not the design

very few teams can pull off the ALL Black intimidating look..... Ravens do..... Saints never came off intimidating.




our red colors throw everything off. It's like we are trying too hard.


instead of trying to be intimidating we should try to come off *classy* Royalish....Empirish.


and All whites with Gold numbers would've done that.....or even red numbers.



Christ look at the size Kevin Gogan.

These black jerseys have been available as Chinese knock-offs for years. A lot of people buy fakes now, so anyone who was into the black jerseys probably already has one.

I doubt theyre going to generate a ton of full priced retail sales. I think Niner fans LOVE red and gold, and I dont see them being interested in wearing black instead. They make black 49ers shirts, and people dont really wear them.

Heck, at the games half the stadium is wearing throwbacks. Those people certainly arent wearing black jerseys instead of their Montana, Rice, Young, or Lott jerseys.
