George Kittle shares inspiration behind 'F-Dallas' T-shirt

George Kittle of the San Francisco 49ers discussed the story behind his controversial 'F-Dallas' T-shirt during a podcast appearance on July 1, 2026. Kittle revealed that the shirt was inspired by a photo of former 49ers linebacker Gary Plummer, who wore a similar shirt leading up to a game against the Cowboys. Kittle recalled saving the image for nine years before finally deciding to wear it, despite receiving a fine of $13,659 for doing so in 2023. He noted his performance in that game, where he caught three touchdown passes during a decisive victory over Dallas. Kittle keeps the shirt in his locker as a reminder of its significance.
