With record heat descending on the Bay Area on Sunday, the NFL has denied the San Francisco 49ers' request to wear white uniforms for their home match against the Arizona Cardinals. The decision will leave the 49ers in their red home uniforms for the game in Santa Clara, where temperatures are expected to hit 100 degrees.
Niners head coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters after practice Friday that the team asked the NFL if the 49ers could switch to white, but the league turned down the request. Shanahan said they will potentially be able to swap their typical gold pants for white pants.
