#49ers wordmark series#
Back in 1971, there was this series of excellent MLB stamp albums. Here’s one more for that ballpark: a promo snowglobe sponsored by the ill-fated Enron energy company. ) Here I am wearing mine with my wife at a Giants game, in 2002. Otherwise, it was prohibitively expensive.
(Got a deal on it, too - stopped by the park after work and it was on sale at a great price.
#49ers wordmark Patch#
I had this jacket! Great detailing, too - all wool, that patch on the back is all embroidered leather, the sleeve inserts are leather, and there’s an embroidered PBP logo on the front. Their CC uni is set to debut on-field on June 4, so the unveiling will presumably be a week or so prior to that.įollow all know I love a good varsity-style jacket, and here’s one from circa 2000, for the then-new home of the San Francisco Giants, Pacific Bell Park. The next team unveiling a CC design will be the Rockies. The uniform will make its on-field debut this Saturday, April 30. I’m not nuts about the colors, but that’s just me - I have a hunch others may feel differently. Fun municipal concept, good logos, mostly cringe-free.
The trim on the sleeve cuffs looks too thick. I’d rather see white - or at least some white outlining - for the chest number and NOB. (I feel the same way about the Blue Jays’ navy/powder alternate cap). For me, powder blue looks much chalkier and less pleasing when worn against navy, so the jersey numbers, NOB lettering, and even the belts don’t work so well for me. I’m not nuts about the mix of blue shades. I really like the cap and would love to see a royal version of it (instead of navy) to be worn with the rest of the team’s uniforms. Here’s a closer look at the sleeve patch, along with the rear view: As we discussed last week, the cap and jersey logos are based on Kansas City’s flag: I’m not sure if any other NFL teams are planning uni changes for this season (I didn’t know these Niners tweaks were coming until a few days ago, when a team employee tipped me off), but if so, we’ll presumably see those changes announced in the next day or two, so they can have the proper jerseys on hand for the draft.ĬC in KC: The Royals finally released their City Connect “City of Fountains” alternates yesterday, confirming earlier leaks. Team exec Alex Chang mentioned that possibility last summer, although he didn’t commit to it. Meanwhile, now that the one-shell rule has been lifted, there’s also a chance that the Niners could go with a red helmet for their throwbacks this season, which would be historically accurate. Speaking of which, it will now appear in red on the team’s neck bumper: I like the Saloon font, but I don’t think it looks so great in white - I prefer it in red and/or gold. I’m slightly less enthusiastic about this change, especially on the red jersey. The new wordmark replaces the one that’s been in use since 2009, when the Niners went back to their current design motif: There’s a good recap of the evolution of the team’s sleeve striping in this thread. #49ers wordmark upgrade#
An obvious upgrade - the only question is what took them so long: They’d already been using three stripes on their throwbacks, so there was no reason not to do so on the primaries.
First, as you can see above, they’ve restored the third stripe to their sleeves and are also using their “Saloon font” logo as their chest mark. With the NFL draft set to commence this Thursday night, the 49ers yesterday announced a few tweaks to their uniforms.
