According to an article on the team's web site, the uniform will be introduced at the 49ers 3rd annual Draft Party on Thursday, ahead of the NFL Draft which begins at 5:00 p.m. Pacific time.

"I think the fans are going to be excited when they see our new look," linebacker NaVorro Bowman told 49ers.com. "I think the fans are going to understand we mean business. All I can say is we won't have to worry about how we look, because we'll know we look good."

Bowman was among a group of players involved in the design of the alternate uniforms manufactured by Nike, according to 49ers.com.

Some 10,000 tickets to the 49ers Draft Party were awarded through a random drawing.
