I don't think the black Jerseys are going anywhere. It's one of their biggest sellers and to be real thats what drives all this.

What I can see them doing tho is going with an all white uniform if they play a thursday night game on the road.

As for whether the team was any good in the black...they actually HAVE been good in the black uniforms.

2015: 20-3 Win vs Vikings
2016: 28-0 Win vs Rams
2017: 41-39: Loss to Rams

Prior to Jimmy G taking over the 49ers had won a total of 8 games in 3 years.

2 of those 8 were in Black uniforms.

You were literally the only 49ers fan on earth who liked it.

Does anyone know the reasoning behind this attempt at a branding change?

Doesn't say the Blacks are done. It says they will be getting new Color Rush uniforms.

The black uniforms actually predate the Color Rush by a year.

True, but we only wore the black unis once last year, for the color rush game.

Same the year before if I recall...

...but I'd be surprised if they axed them completely as they are very popular for jersey sales.

Then I think they wore them twice that year.

out of all the options we could go for these color rush themes.. Black is probably the best main color.

all mustard is not a great look

It was such bad timing when they came out with those. The 3-peat has just been thwarted by the Giants, Joe got hurt, Craig fumbled the game away, Lott and Craig were about to be left unprotected in plan B. Closest thing to a meltdown among Niners fans pre-Internet days when all this happened in early 1991 and that helmet was just the tipping point lol

craig leaving was fine. he had nothing left, lott leaving was dumb, i loved this helmet!! i think they calmed down the masses a bit when they got mcdonald to replace lott. if i have the years right

Tim McD didn't sign til '93....they had another USC alum safety for a couple years after Lott left (Waymer?) and also drafted Dana Hall who sucked lol

Edit: Waymer was from Notre Dame...another was safety Dave Whitmore from S.F. Austin
