Report: 49ers lobby NFL to wear their throwback uniforms in Super Bowl

When the 49ers try to capture the franchise’s first Super Bowl title in 25 years, they’d love to dress the part of their last championship team by wearing their 1994 throwback uniforms in Miami against the Chiefs.

49ers cornerback Richard Sherman told The Athletic after Sunday’s NFC Championship victory he and some teammates are hoping the NFL will approve their request to don their all-white retro threads in the Super Bowl. Sherman told David Lombardi of The Athletic the league “is thinking about changing (the uniform) policy now,” which for marketing purposes had in the past placed restrictions on the usage of non-traditional uniforms, especially in the postseason.
