There’s nothing too crazy about Nike’s revamp of the 49ers uniform (it’s definitely a case where you don’t mess with success), but Nike’s “Elite 51” brand does feature some new bells and whistles for the team.

From Nike’s website:

The San Francisco 49ers have chosen to take full innovation in the Nike Elite 51 Uniform including Flywire technology to reduce weight and provide a lockdown fit over the pads. Keeping with their traditional design aesthetic, the uniform has a slight adjustment on the arm stripes creating a horizontal orientation to the field of play. The Nike Elite 51 uniform is completely engineered from the inside out, focusing on creating a system where the baselayer, padding, jersey and pant work in concert. A few of the new innovations include increasing sleeve articulation for better range of motion and integrating new four-way stretch fabrication to provide a streamlined shrink-wrap fit.

Players are already excited about the new uniforms; today, Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher said the streamlined fit will help prevent holding. The material is also supposed to be cooler, but that feature doesn’t help the 49ers much when they’re at home.

What do you think of the new uniforms, cleats and gloves?
