OTOH some kind of weird stat if we're wearing away jerseys on natural grass, we lose the SB. Home jerseys on real grass Niners win or away on artificial turf, also win. But this trend has only happened once for each because 2 SB losses out of 7 appearances. Lost wearing home jerseys/artificial turf (NO), lost wearing away/natural grass (MIA). But the 5 wins were all the exact opposite circumstances of those jersey/field surface combos e.g. home jersey/natural. Probably more of a coincidence than a real telling stat. Time to end the streak just like Shanahan's winless record trailing by whatever going into 4th qtr was broken. I know that was a lot of minutia.
The previous trend was:
1981) Niners wear white, SB is indoors on turf, WIN
1984) Niners wear red, SB is outdoors on grass, WIN
1988) Niners wear red, SB is outdoors on grass, WIN
1989) Niners wear white, SB is indoors on turf, WIN
1994) Niners wear red, SB is outdoors on grass, WIN
They then went away from that:
2012) Niners wear red, SB is indoor on turf, LOST
2019) Niners wear white, SB is outside (partially covered) on grass, LOST
For the coming game there's a plot twist:
2023) Niners will wear white, SB is indoors, surface is natural grass (grass is rolled in for NFL games, for college/UNLV games it's turf)
