SJHN Daily: George Kittle Upset to See Timo Meier in Devils Jersey

George Kittle was not happy when he saw Timo Meier in his new colors.

Meier, traded by the San Jose Sharks 10 days ago, has now played two games with the New Jersey Devils. He recently made his first post on Instagram donning his new Devils jersey.

The San Francisco 49ers star tight end was not pleased with the sight. The four-time NFL Pro Bowler took to the comment section to show his displeasure, replying with a sad emoji.

A big Nashville Predators fan, Kittle has also made his way to several Sharks games. He joined teammates to support the Sharks during their legendary series against the Vegas Golden Knights in 2019 and even snuck into a game during the 2019-20 season.

In honor of the #SuperBowl today, here are #49ers players George Kittle, Raheem Mostert, Marcus Lucas, Kyle Nelson, Mike McGlinchey, Joe Staley + Dante Pettis at the Shark Tank during Game Seven of WCQF between the #SJSharks and VGK on Apr. 23, 2019. #BayAreaUnite
