The 49ers said this morning they did not intentionally omit former quarterback Colin Kaepernick from an online photo gallery on the team web site that was billed on social media as featuring the "top moments between the 49ers and Packers since 1950."

Kaepernick was not among the 48 photos posted Thursday in advance of the 49ers’ visit to Green Bay on Monday night. Kaepernick led the 49ers to three memorable wins over the Packers, including a record-breaking performance in one of his two playoff victories over Green Bay.

The galley was updated this morning to include Kaepernick.

"Unfortunately there were a handful of obvious misses in this gallery posted by our website team and we appreciate them being brought to our attention," the 49ers said in a statement. "The 49ers organization has tremendous respect and gratitude for the contributions Colin made to our team over the years. We have fond memories of those games and that should have been displayed on our website. This oversight does not properly reflect the appreciation our ownership and this team have for Colin."

General manager John Lynch also addressed the situation today on KNBR: “Obviously, from our part, a glaring omission. From ownership on down, we’ve got so much respect for (Kaepernick’s) contributions to this franchise against the Packers. Anyone that is a fan of football, let alone 49ers fans, knows that he has a great part of history against the Packers. We’re looking into, right now, how that happened, and we’re trying to rectify it … Not something I’m proud of. A glaring omission, as I said. And we’re working right now to get that fixed.”

The 49ers said Kaepernick was featured in seven “throwback galleries” in 2017. Thursday marked their first such gallery this season.

The omission of Kaepernick was not the lone whiff in this week’s gallery, which didn’t actually focus on "top moments" in the series.

Most notably, the gallery also doesn’t include a moment that is one of the most iconic plays in 49ers’ history: Steve Young’s touchdown pass to Terrell Owens - commonly known as The Catch II - that provided a 30-27 wild-card win over the Packers in January 1999.

However, there were three photos of Young and two of Owens in the gallery.

In January 2013, Kaepernick had 444 total yards and set the NFL record for rushing yards by a quarterback (181) in a 45-31 divisional-playoff win over the Packers at Candlestick Park.

A year later, Kaepernick threw for 227 yards and had 98 rushing yards to direct a 23-20 wild-card win in sub-zero temperatures at Lambeau Field.

Sandwiched between those postseason performances, Kaepernick threw for 412 yards, the most in franchise history in Week 1, in a 34-28 win over the Packers in the 2013 season opener.

Kaepernick hasn’t played in the NFL since 2016, and has filed a collusion lawsuit against the league stating his unemployment is tied to his decision to kneel during the national anthem to protest issues tied to racial inequality.

In 2016, shortly after Kaepernick began kneeling, 49ers CEO Jed York matched his $1 million donation to underserved communities. In May, York and Oakland’s Mark Davis were the only owners to abstain when the NFL voted to adopt a controversial new anthem policy, which has since been placed on hold.

The 49ers didn’t re-sign Kaepernick after the 2016 season, and they didn’t pursue him this season after quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo sustained a torn ACL in Week 3.

On each occasion, head coach Kyle Shanahan said Kaepernick didn’t fit his offensive system.

"It’s the same situation now," Shanahan said in September when asked about Kaepernick. "I always look into what style of offense I want to do, what style of offense we’ve been doing for the last two years."
