Colin Kaepernick will not let 49ers fans tell him what to wear.

Kaepernick posted the above photo to his Instagram as a response to fans who were dismayed after the young quarterback was photographed wearing a Miami Dolphins hat at a 4th of July party.

Here is the photograph in question:

#Dolphins are at point that other teams’ franchise QBs try to pass as members. Nice hat Kaepernick! @NinersNation pic.twitter.com/aTNIxyoMKU — Kevin Nogle (@thephinsider) July 5, 2013

Kaepernick may have a point — it is a pretty silly thing to get upset at. Then again, a simple “I’m sorry” wouldn’t hurt anything, either. Does he really need to wear the hat of another NFL franchise?

And to his point that “#y’allmustbebored” … of course we are, Colin. Football doesn’t start for months. We’re struggling here.
