The 49ers on Sunday are breaking out their all-white throwback uniforms according to a tweet from kicker Robbie Gould.
San Francisco went 2-0 last year in the replicas of the road uniforms they wore during the 1994 season, which were a throwback set worn during the NFL’s 75th anniversary celebration. They first wore them in a home drubbing of the Panthers, then suited up in them for the NFC West clincher at Seattle in Week 17.
They debuted the modern throwback set in 2018 at home against the Rams with disastrous results. They last that game 39-10, then didn’t wear them again that season.
The 49ers are hoping to recapture some of the magic the all whites carried a year ago while exorcising the demons of that Week 7 loss to the Rams two seasons ago. San Francisco badly needs a win to keep their fading playoff hopes alive. At 2-3, their margin for error is extremely slim, and a loss to the 4-1 Rams would be very damaging.
Uniforms don’t have any impact on the outcome, but the old adage is that players play well when they look good. And given that this is the 49ers’ best uniform set, it’s going to be hard for them to look better. Now they need the play to go with it.
