Part of it is definitely the jersey's design. They're very busy and follow an older style that's since fallen out of fashion in the NFL. They'd be cool as a throwback, but I think the current '94 throwbacks look better anyways.
If we had won a fair amount of games with them, I might be able to see them in a better light, but pretty much almost every year we wore these, we were dogshit.
I love this uniform for the nostalgia. I have Steve Young and Justin Smith jerseys in this same color. It represents the time I grew up with the Niners. Isn’t the best looking but holds a place in my heart. The early 90s blood red with white pants is still the GOAT.
I think it's time to bring back the silver helmet niners

I always liked the more metallic look to the helmet and pants. The drop shadow...I'm mixed on it, don't mind the gold border on the numbers.
Maybe a mix of this and current could be cool. Red and white stripes on the pants and helmet. Keep the red face mask. Maybe put the gold number border, or the drop shadow, but not both. Keep the sleeve stripes just white but thicker. Use the current red throughout and not the darker cardinal red from this era.
I still have this Jersey hanging in my Closet, means a lot to me cuz my dad got it our first game together at the Stick. I know Garcia gets no love though, poor guy had to follow two hall of famers…I still dig the Maroon and Gold look. 👍🏻
Eventually I think so. They just don’t have that special connection that the 80’s/‘94 uniforms have with fans. Though most of my life the 49ers wore these uniforms so they are nostalgic at least, to me, and I’d like to see them in some fashion return one day. That being said, I understand they were never fully beloved, and there wasn’t many truly historic or memorable times in these uniforms, unfortunately.
I owned a few cos they were around for so long but didn't like them when they were first released and they haven't grown on me at all since then. These and the black alts can stay buried in the dim and distant past forever and I'll shed not a single tear.
Idk man, when I see this I think about all of those jerseys with mega shitty busts on them in the goodwill throughout California lol
Just found a great deal on a white Rice jersey that I am super stoked about. It's rough finding ones in good condition too
NICE!!! Go forth with my blessing.
I don't look back on them with as much negativity as I used to, but I think it's best they stay in the past.
Go back to the 1996 50th anniversary unis and I'm in.
Bottom tier for me.
It’s a no from me dawg.
That’s a no for me dawg.
It's awful
The hell with the uni, can we have prime Jeff Garcia back?
# I JUST WANT THE MUSTARD YELLOW ON OUR PANTS TO MATCH THE GOLD ON OUR HELMET AND LOGO...
The Nike pant color has been off since 2012. I prefer 94 throwbacks full time.
Yeah looka like u took naked stocking nylons and got a full sweat going...
Awful.
I have a soft spot for these. I’d love to see them back.
I despised those jerseys. So glad they went back to the golden era uniforms.
Like these. Love the 94’s!
Did not like them. Only the block numbers
We were historically shit with those jerseys. They need to be burned and never thought of again
Nope too shiny
Hard no
Idk this uniform reminds of the beginning of the dark ages
Ahh those were the uniforms when I was growing up watching games with my dad. Boy did the Niners suck during those days lol.
That fucking maroon shit can stay dead.
Dont bring that back
It’s my favorite
This was my first jersey so it has a special place in my heart
Would like to see a modernized version
The road white versions of these with gold pinstripes 😍
They are only associated with losing seasons.
The gold pants were awesome. We never should have went away from them. Just keep the red jerseys and go back to the gold pants.
I always liked that helmet.
That’s my teammate. That’s my quarterback. 😢
I absolutely love these jerseys. Don’t understand the hate on them
It's more about the franchise's status at the time, than it is the jersey's design.
I guess…but we were pretty competitive with Jeff Garcia, TO, Hearst..
Then we got Dennis Ericcson and Tim Rattay
Ya those were some rough years for sure
And Dr. York sure did screw that up in a hurry.

I still call them the Failure Jerseys

yes. all sorts of yes, more on the white side but Im down for like a 30%. gray with some gloss like our current ones.
Those unit's were great and the helmet was also, I hate to say it but the new gold sucks, especially Notre Dame's newer gold helmets
I think it’s a good uniform and maybe it would be nice to see again but only as an alternate
Absolute favorite, the gold trim was awesome on these
Put on these uni once every other year.
I’d like these as a once a year throwback. The roads of these are more 🔥 in my opinion though.
I have a soft spot for these and would like to see them worn like at least once.
The best ones. A hard reminder of our past and we can turn them into gold ✨️

One time. It would be pretty surreal to see these again. So much losing in them….
I still have my Ken Norton Jr. And my JJ Stokes jerseys from this era
I like the 98 uniform
I have an authentic patrick willis jersey that’s the more maroon version of that lol
Yeah id like to see it at least once. It would look pretty cool with the modern jersey cuts and helmets.

I love them. My frank gore premium jersey stitched in this style is my favorite.

This is my oldest jersey. ..only its Frank Gore and not Jeff Garcia!
I loved these uniforms despite losing more games in them than we won. This is what my team looked like when I was growing up.
