its science
I think we can do without the silver helmets. This is to symbolize the gold rush. The helmets should stay gold.

Hopefully they offer the alternate reds that can be customized with stitched letters and numbers. I would grab a 36 HANKS or 21 SANDERS with the 75 patch.

Rose gold? How about metallic gold:
If we're not gonna do gold then lest just go black or dark gray:
But please, not silver, and definitely not rose gold.

It looks like they're only throwing back to '94. That makes it easier since they won't need to change helmets. If they start going back to the 50s and 60s they'll have a lot of different options since they changed colors and schemes several times in the early years. Red helmets with silver stripe. White helmets. Solid silver helmets. Silver with red and black stripes, Solid gold.
That doesn't even include the pants which were white at times and silver for awhile. Stay with the current uni. It's the best looking one they've had and the one that they wore during their best era. I've seen them all and even though I grew up with the red helmets and white pants, I've always liked the current uni the best.

An alternate helmet = merchandising = $$$$
I have multiple helmets (the 1964-1995 helmet, the 1996-2008 helmet and the 2009-present) and all 3 are virtually the same minus decals and one red facemask.
A silver helmet would sell well among fans imo. Especially since it looks so sleek with the 1994 jerseys, despite it being inaccurate to any one overall uniform in 49ers history.

Bought the Trey Lance throwback limited jersey when it came out a week ago and Fanatics just called and said they can't fulfill the order and it was cancelled. So mad

lol getting a red helmet is going to have little impact on merchandising. We would be using the same throwbacks we just released, which are already selling like crazy. The vast majority of Niner fans will hate a red helmet. They won't make any money off adding that. Silver is for the Raiders. Fans aren't going to like going away from gold, which is already very apparent on social media. IMO red or silver helmets would be a flop.
