49ers' Throwback Uniforms Ranked Top 5

Like many other teams in the NFL this season, the San Francisco 49ers will be breaking out a "throwback" look in 2025.

In what has become a tradition for the 49ers, they'll break out their 1994 look as a throwback, which itself was a throwback to their 1955 season.

That makes the look and the unis extra special in San Francisco, and it also makes the look rank high on a recent list.

"The 49ers didn't unseat the No. 1 throwback uniforms in the NFL, but the 1994 throwbacks are one of the best alternate uniforms in the game," writes CBS Sports' Jeff Kerr. "The 1994 throwbacks are actually throwbacks to 1955, which make this combination even more unique.

"The black stripe on the pants are symbolic of the Super Bowl team in 1994, while the 3D numbering isn't seen around the NFL. The red and black are great for this set, but all the 49ers need are the red alternate helmets from that era to go with the set (although this technically is a throwback to 1994). "

If we're going to pick one particular season of the two to commemorate, let's use the 1994 season.

In 1955, San Francisco went 4-8, missed the playoffs, and narrowly avoided a last-place finish in the NFL Western Conference to the 3-9 Detroit Lions.

But in 1994, it was a different story. The team went 13-3, finished first in the NFC West, beat the Dallas Cowboys 38-28 in the NFC Championship at Candlestick Park, then beat the Chargers 49-26 in Super Bowl XXIX.

That's a more memorable season for sure, so we'll go with that.
