SANTA CLARA -- The 49ers unveiled the franchise’s first alternate jersey to the players who lobbied for the change.
The team’s alternate jersey, which can be worn up to two games per season, looks a lot like what quarterback Colin Kaepernick has fashioned on the practice field since August 2013.
The jersey, which the 49ers displayed on its Snapchat account, is black with red numbers. It was shown to the team after Thursday morning practice on the final day of a voluntary three-day minicamp.
Several players asked the organization for the all-black jersey tops, but the look was not originally met with positive reviews from Kaepernick.
