49ers unveil new alternate jerseys on draft night
For the first time in their storied history, the San Francisco 49ers will run out alternate uniforms: all-black with red numbers and gold helmets. We can quibble about the fashion merits of the uniforms (the black-as-tough trend seems about 15 years out of date, but whatever), but what’s a bit peculiar is that the 49ers announced the change smack-dab in the middle of perhaps the busiest non-game day of the entire year.

As the opening picks of the first round of the NFL draft played out, the 49ers posted the above image and a hype video to Twitter. Were the uniforms starting to leak, or were the 49ers trying to grab a little extra juice? Whichever, the secret is out now.
So, thoughts? Cool unis or no?
