49ers TE George Kittle wore 'F*** Dallas' shirt again during Sunday Night Football game, per report
San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle may have gotten away with wearing his “F*** Dallas” shirt while playing against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday Night football. Per Taylor Wirth of NBC Sports Bay Area and Charean Williams of Pro Football Talk , Kittle wore the shirt but never revealed it. If it’s true, it’s the second time in as many seasons Kittle has worn the shirt, but the reason he never showed it could be the fact he didn’t want to get fined like last year.
After the game, Kittle seemingly talked about wearing the shirt to Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson. And one X user pointed out that the former Iowa Hawkeyes star teased the shirt during his postgame interview.
Kittle wore the shirt around the same time last year when the 49ers took on the Cowboys on Sunday Night Football. After displaying the shirt, the NFL fined him $13,659. When asked about wearing the shirt last year, Kittle said it was to pay tribute to former 49ers linebacker Gary Plummer doing the same thing.
“That (shirt) was just on my loop, man. I put it on, was just wearing a T-shirt at the game, I don’t know how (f–k Dallas) got on there,” Kittle said on The Pat McAfee Show last year. “I might’ve been mildly inspired by our guy [former linebacker] Gary Plummer, who wore that in the ’94 NFC Championship Game versus Dallas.

Why George Kittle began wearing ‘F*** Dallas’ shirt
“There’s some things that need to be worn for the franchise and I think it’s just coincidence it just happened to appear on my chest on ‘Sunday Night Football.’”
The shirt might be good luck for Kittle as he caught six passes for 128 yards and one touchdown against the Cowboys on Sunday night. The performance by Kittle was extra special since he did it on National Tight Ends Day, which is celebrated on the fourth Sunday in October.
“I celebrate ‘National Tight Ends Day’ every Sunday,” Kittle said, per the 49ers official website. “I root for every single tight end across the league to do very, very well because I want to watch tight ends succeed. Except for the one that I’m playing that Sunday. Other than that, I always want tight ends to score as many touchdowns, get as many yards, do great in the run game. I just like seeing the position do really well.”
