New Uniforms to be Unveiled April 25th

by ProfessorBigelow on Mar 27, 2009 1:24 PM PDT in Events Comment 35 comments

Thats right people, the day is near. At the Santa Clara Convention Center, on April 25th, the opening day of the draft, from Noon to 4 pm, the 49ers franchise will unveil their new duds for the whole world to see, according to Barrows.

The uniforms will be unveiled before the Draft begins. As everyone expects, and as was hinted to at the State of the Franchise press conference, the uniforms should resemble the throwback uniforms of the past few seasons (no shadowing on the letters, stripes on the arms, grey facemask and a white stripe down the middle of the helmet - please god no Gray Poupon pants...). After the Niners make their first pick, Coach Singletary himself will show up to the convention center to address the crowd, followed by a Q&A session with a whole slew of Niners, announced by the Niners radio team of Gary Plummer and Ted Robinson (taking over for Starkey).

Tickets to the event for those who are interested are FREE and available first to season ticket holders, then to the general public, and can be reserved at the 49ers official website.

While not BREAKING NEWS, it is interesting, and something I know many people on this blog have been talking about for a while. The questions I pose to you Nation:

1) What are your feelings on the new uniforms (excited, nervous, angry, remorseful, hungry)?

2) How do you feel about Singletary showing up at this party while the draft is still taking place to pimp the new duds?

Any word if the Gold Rush are going to get a make over too?

Inquiring minds want to know.

Don't sweat it. I'm illiterate.

word

The Gold Rush, while awesome, look like they belong behind the ring in a professional wrestling setting.

Haha, joke's on you

I couldn’t give two shakes of a stick what the Gold Rush wear as uniforms.

they wear too much as it is

It was "mascot night" at the Rose Garden, which apparently translates to a dozen inflatable versions of various NBA mascots being chased around the arena by Portland's "Blaze", which is some breed of rapist dog. -PostingandToasting

New Uniforms

I can’t wait, to be completely honest. I’m surprised I’m looking forward to this, but I have a feeling we are going to see some sweet throwback-esque Niner jerseys.

I hope...

… they don’t go all “contemporary” with the uniforms like other team’s have (i.e. Ravens, Broncos, Seahawks). Not that I think they’re ugly, I just prefer it if the team I’m a fan of doesn’t follow suit.

I want throwback styles.

there is NOTHING wrong with a classic look.. they dont need to be UPDATED

No problem with coach's gig

It’s common for coach to handle the PR stuff on draft day while the GM and staff work the draft. Most of the time coaches have little input into draft decisions and Mike seems fine with Scott picking the groceries.

Exactly.

It’s McCloughan’s head that’s going to be attached to the draft picks. Singletary, I think, doesn’t officially have final call on any personnel decisions, anyhow.

Are there any leaks about what the uniforms are going to look like?

Are there any pictures or anything? Just too impatient to wait til draft day.

Fans stuck in the 80's are lame. Respect the past, live in the now.

well

the team isn’t the Lions, so no toy truck has been put on NFL.com to spoil the new uniform surprise.

lol good call

We're not the Lions

I think the 49ers can keep secrets

Nervous

I have been on the bandwagon for new uniforms, seeing we have only had failure in the current ones. But…Going back to the glory day uniforms scares me a little bit because I am not convinced this team is at that level right now. I would hate to see them continue their losing ways in the years to come wearing the old pride and joy.

by jonesin25 on Mar 27, 2009 2:05 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs

But...

Lets just say they do turn this thing around and get back to the winning ways. I will love to see them winning again in the old unis.

+1

The niners stunk in the 70’s with the same uniforms they wore in the 80’s. According to the chronicle, the uni’s are going to be the glory days uni’s complete with gold pants, not mustard. I’m stoked.

Never forget Bill Walsh.

There are all of what?

2 49er picks that day?
Sheesh. I’m sure the draft day staff know what’s up with those picks.
No need to have Singletary there, really.

MURS for President!!!!!!!

GO ahead Couch Sing

I hope he does the James brown dance center stage with the new gear on! It’s about damn time we had some excitement in 9er country! I for one am super excited about the throwback jerseys and style. Now I have to go get all new jerseys because we all know you can’t be that guy with the old style stuff unless they are classic players! So I need a new Gore, and P willy bad @ss :)

Go ahead couch let em KNOW!!!

Go 9ers!!!

New unis

Well, after investigating it for such a long time, it might either be a complete copy of what the 80s throwbacks have been or something so similar, but adding a contemporary feel (like the Chargers)

I just hope it’s not overdone and is still simple enough that it looks good

Im super excited but a little nervous

i hope they look sooo good that im gonna buy one right away (when available). Im a little nervous cuz i dont want them messing it up. I think they will look like the classic unis but slight tweaks (i.e maybe not cherry red maybe slighty and a mean slighty more darker then the classic unis). CANT WAIT!

by 49ersAllTheWay on Mar 27, 2009 7:18 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs

I saw this as a possible model of what they may look like. just speculation.

Everything’s a little darker, and the black outline around the logo on the helmet is bolder. Also if you look on the side you can see what looks like a white stripe going down the side, which I could do without. It also looks like the numbers on the sleeves would be higher up on the shoulders, which I would also prefer to just stay as is.

One other thing that I think should be implemented, instead of that old school logo on the chest I would like to see a BW where the logo is on the sleeve under the number. Something similar to what the Bears have for George Halas.(Tried to find a pic but couldn’t, maybe GeoMak could help me out?) I don’t know if that’s even possible but it’s something I would like to see.

Call me crazy

but I am not overcome with excitement over the thought of new uniforms. Who cares about looking good if you don’t win? Start winning, then worry about how you look while you are doing it! I also think its ridiculous that coach Sing will be at the event. A coach should have 0 concern about PR when a major event is taking place that can have a huge impact on the team. Sure the GM and staff can handle it, but they shouldn’t have to alone. The person that is casting the vision for the team ought to be present.

I can not wait

I just hope they don’t screw this one up

Still defending Rich Aurilia, and the Niners' classic unis

Old School again!!!

I think we should go back to the old school uniforms and maybe throw in a black out uniform for the big games. As far as Singletary goes, he should be focused on the draft and not some gimmick to get fans ready for another disappointing season.
