San Francisco 49ers Primary Logo

49ers Primary Logo

The San Francisco 49ers have a long and storied history, and their primary logo has been an integral part of that story. The team was founded in 1946 as the All-America Football Conference’s first professional football franchise. Since then, they have gone through several different iterations of their logo over the years.

The original design featured a shield with three stars at its center representing the “three strikes you’re out” rule used in baseball at that time; this symbolized how difficult it would be for opponents to beat them on any given day. In 1961, this design was replaced by one featuring two crossed swords set against a red background with white trimming around it; these swords were meant to represent strength and courage – qualities that are still very much associated with the team today!

In 1983, another redesign took place: now featuring an interlocking ‘SF' within a circle surrounded by three gold stars (representing past Super Bowl victories). This version is still used today but has seen some minor modifications since then such as changing from blue to black or adding additional colors like silver or copper into its palette. Regardless of what changes may come along down the line though, one thing will remain constant: The San Francisco 49ers logo will always be synonymous with success!

The original 49ers logo was a mustached gold miner from the 1849 California Gold Rush, dressed in plaid pants and a red shirt, jumping in midair with his hat falling off, and firing pistols in each hand: one nearly shooting his foot, and the other pistol about the head.
