49ers Long Sleeve Appraisal

Vintage San Francisco 49ers Long-Sleeve Fan Jersey

This is a vintage-style long-sleeved fan jersey for the San Francisco 49ers, likely intended for casual wear rather than on-field play. The primary color of the jersey is a vibrant red, consistent with the 49ers' team colors. The material appears to be a soft fabric, possibly cotton or a synthetic blend designed for comfort, exhibiting a slight texture or nap, indicating it is not a smooth, performance-oriented material. The neckline features a contrasting tan or cream-colored rib-knit band, which matches the color of the prominent '49ERS' text and the large '64' number emblazoned on the back. The '49ERS' text is arched above the number '64'. These letters and numbers appear to be screen-printed or heat-pressed onto the fabric, showing a slight wear or softening around the edges which is common for older fan apparel. The sleeves are long, with a contrasting tan or cream cuff visible on the left sleeve where it is folded back. The left sleeve also features a circular patch or graphic, though its specific design is not clearly discernible from the provided image. A similar, though slightly different, contrasting graphic or patch is visible on the right sleeve. The overall construction appears to be a basic sewn garment, typical of fan merchandise. The jersey is currently displayed on a black plastic hanger, suggesting it is a wearable garment. There are no obvious rips, tears, or major stains visible, but the fabric does show some wrinkles and a general softness that implies a degree of age and prior use. The absence of specific brand tags or manufacturing marks in the visible area makes it difficult to ascertain the exact manufacturer or precise era, but the aesthetic points towards a vintage piece, likely from the 1980s or 1990s given the style of presentation and materials.
