Alternate Jersey Reveal

The alternate jersey reveal was something straight out of a dream. The lights in the auditorium shut off while a video featuring clips of old and players wearing the 1994 throwback jerseys played.

And then Joe Staley, Richard Sherman, DeForest Buckner, Kyle Juszczyk and the GOAT himself, Jerry Rice, danced out from backstage wearing the throwback jerseys on full pads.
