Niners To Get New Uniforms On Draft Day

We vaguely recall typing something at some point about the 49ers changing their uniforms. But since we’re not really sure and since if we can’t remember it there’s a chance you don’t remember it we’ll mention it again. The 49ers are changing their uniforms. There. The new threads will be unveiled at a draft-day party that runs from noon until 4:00 p.m. PDT on the first day of the draft. Coach Mike Singletary will attend. And if he removes his pants, it hopefully will be merely a precursor to modeling the new game trousers. The revised duds are supposed to look like the throwback uniforms from the glory days of the 1980s, presumably with the Dijon mustard pants and the red jerseys without shadows in the numerals and gray facemasks. Unless they plan to fill those uniforms with Joe Montana and Jerry Rice in their prime, it likely won’t be enough to turn things around.
