49ers to wear updated black uniform as part of NFL's Rivalries series
Briefly

The San Francisco 49ers revealed an all-black alternate uniform as part of the NFL Rivalries initiative in partnership with Nike, affecting NFC West and AFC East teams in 2025. The uniform includes a black jersey, new black helmet, black pants, and accents differentiated from the traditional red-and-white set. Numbers use the team's old-school saloon font in red with a gold outline and black drop shadow, and a gold script reading Faithful sits above the numbers on the chest. The team will debut the black look on the field in Week 18 against the Seattle Seahawks. The franchise previously wore a black version in the 2010s and has used 1994 red-and-white throwbacks in recent seasons.
The 49ers unveiled a new look on Thursday morning with a week to go before the NFL opens its season. They are back in black. As part of the league's Rivalries initiative in partnership with Nike, teams in the NFC West and AFC East will have alternate uniforms to wear against a divisional opponent in 2025. The Niners' version is a black jersey with a new black helmet, black pants and other accents to make it different from their traditional format for their red-and-white jerseys.
The numbers are in the team's old-school saloon font in red with gold outline and black drop shadow, while a gold script reading Faithful is on the chest above the numbers. Fans will have to wait quite a while to see the new look on the field as the Niners won't wear the black uniforms until Week 18 against the Seahawks.
