Anddddd......
I like the first picture better.
The bottom pic is from much earlier in the '94 season (it looks like Anaheim Stadium, so the Rams game in week 3, when Deion was used sparingly as a slot corner 'til he caught up with our defensive schemes). At the time, the Niners were only supposed to wear the throwbacks a few games (I think two at home and two on the road, or two games in red throwbacks and two games in the white throwbacks.) Other NFL teams had the same kind of throwback jersey games schedule spread throughout the first two months of the '94 season.
So, as for the Niners, they won against the Rams and Saints in September 1994 wearing red throwbacks, got BLOWN OUT by Philly Oct. 2 wearing the regular red jerseys with gold pants, then won the next two games on the road against the Lions and Falcons (Oct 9 and 16, 1994) in the all-white throwbacks.
IIRC, they got to play an extra game in red throwbacks at home against the Buccaneers (Oct. 23) after requesting permission from the league. That was the last time they wore the striped socks...
The Niners then had their BYE week...I think during that week off they got further permission to wear throwbacks the rest of the season, both cos of the win streak they were on and Coach Seifert's superstition (the players liked the design as well).
After the BYE, when they got the NFL's thumbs up, they continued to wear throwbacks, but this time with solid red socks, for the rest of the '94 season and playoffs...all the way up to the Super Bowl win against the Chargers (Jan. 29, 1995).
The top pic is from the NFC Championship Game against Dallas, January 15, 1995.
