San Francisco 49ers Uniforms

San Francisco is wearing their "alternate" uniforms tonight. If you're wondering what those look like, they look exactly like the classic red, gold and white uniforms that you see every time you see a Joe Montana-Jerry Rice highlight. In other words, its the uniform you would always picture the team in, not some trying-too-hard-to-be-cool look that they've been wearing. The 49ers look great tonight.

The 49ers "regular" uniforms in recent years have used a darker red, more metallic-ish gold pants, and (the marketing-gurus gone wild inclusion of black). In other words, a downgrade -- not an upgrade -- from the classic uniforms.

The 49ers equipment manager would be wise to "lose" the black and crimson stuff. Keep the Montana jerseys!
