A 49ers star wore a special Kobe Bryant shirt before the Super Bowl on Sunday.
Arriving at the big game this weekend, cornerback Richard Sherman opted to pay tribute to Bryant.
Ahead of the big outing, Sherman showed up a shirt with Bryant’s name written on it and his number written across the front.

The shirt immediately captured everyone’s attention as Sherman descended from the bus before his looming showdown against the Kansas City Chiefs.
The San Francisco star was one of many to honor Bryant this week.
Bryant tragically died last Sunday in a helicopter crash.
He, his 13-year-old daughter Gianna and seven others all perished in the accident.
Bryant was a huge influence to many of the participants of Super Bowl LIV, so it is no surprise that so many of them have chosen to pay tribute to him in various capacities.
