San Francisco 49ers Tickets Information
San Francisco 49ers
San Francisco 49ers mostly mentioned as the Niners is a professional American football team. The team plays their home games in San Francisco, California, whereas the club's headquarters and practice facility are situated in Santa Clara, California. They are at present members of the Western Division of the National Football Conference (NFC) in the National Football League (NFL).
The team started playing in 1946 as a charter member of the All-America Football Conference and united the NFL in 1950 after the AAFC merged into the older league. This outstanding team at this time shares the record for most Super Bowl victories (5) with the Dallas Cowboys and the Pittsburgh Steelers. They also have the best record in the Super Bowl with no losses. The Team is also referred as the team of Eighties, winning four Super Bowls in the decade.
The San Francisco 49ers were distinguished as they were the first major league professional sports franchise to be located in San Francisco, plus also one of the first professional sports teams situated on the West Coast of the United States. At present, the Niners is the city's only "home grown" sports franchise.
After a hectic coaching search, the 49ers finally declared hiring Mike Nolan who was the defensive coordinator of the Baltimore Ravens as their head coach for the 2005 season. Moreover Mike is the son of Dick Nolan, who guided the team to three consecutive playoff appearances in the early 1970's. Mainly in many NFL franchises, the general manager is a sort of all in all making strategy, player and coaching personnel decisions; but 49ers hired a head coach without hiring a GM, signifying that Nolan will exert significant control in all of these fields. In Mike's initial draft as head coach, Mike Nolan preferred with the first pick of the draft quarterback Alex Smith of the University of Utah. This particular pick was predicted by most, though there were others who predicted the 49ers might select local product that is Aaron Rodgers of the University of California, Berkeley.
Earlier to the 80s, the team couldn't manage to won an NFL championship neither had even won a division title until 1970. Throughout the 1980s, the team failed to make the playoffs only twice in 1980, then once again in the strike-shortened 1982 season that saw them go 0-5 at home and 3-1 on the road, this was the only time in NFL history that a team was defeated at home whereas winning more than half its away games in the same season.
The logo of the team based on a mustached 49er gold miner from the 1849 California Gold Rush, wearing overalls and a red shirt, jumping in midair, plus fired pistols in each hand: one nearly shooting his foot, the other pistol after having shot off his hat, now smokes and forms the word "Forty-Niners" from the smoke. There was also an alternate logo that was fashioned in 1960s shaping a shield-shaped crest formed from the number "49", with a football in the upper right quadrant and "SF" in the lower left quadrant. In addition the present logo of San Francisco 49'ers is an entangled white "SF" in the center of a red oval with a black border, this logo debuted in 1962. Black outlining on the intertwined "SF" was added later in 1989, and in 1996, a more stylish black border and gold trimming was added to the oval logo.
During the period of 1950s and early 1960s, the team just was dressed in silver helmets, silver pants and either cardinal red or white jerseys. The color of the uniform changed in 1964, the club started to wear gold helmets with beige-gold pants, and either scarlet red or white jerseys. The design of the jersey was quite simple that is red home jerseys with white block numbers, three white parallel stripes on the sleeves, and smaller white block numbers above these stripes on the upper sleeve. The same color scheme was inverted for the white road jersey. The 1964 uniform design was in continuous use for the next thirty seasons, with few small changes: a change from thin to thicker pant striping in 1976, and the changing from red socks with three white stripes to solid red socks in 1991.
Throughout the 1994 season, most NFL teams wore their throwback uniforms on occasional games to celebrate the NFL's 75th anniversary. The 49ers opted to be dressed in their 1955 throwbacks with block-shadow numbers, white pants with thinner red-black-red striping, and the old striped red socks which were later replaced back to solid red. As they boarded on a sweeping winning splash that eventually finished in a Super Bowl XXIX victory, the 49ers implored the NFL to wear the uniform for the rest of the season, which they were permitted to do. Conversely, the team went back to the 1964 basic uniform design before the 1995 season.
