80s 49ers Merchandise Appraisal

Vintage San Francisco 49ers NFL Shark Tooth Snapback Hat by Logo 7

This is a highly sought-after vintage snapback cap from the 1990s, specifically featuring the 'Shark Tooth' design associated with the Logo 7 brand. The hat is constructed from white twill fabric on the crown with a contrasting vibrant red flat brim. The front panel features heavy multi-layered embroidery: a large 49ers wordmark in red with gold and black shadowing, positioned above a central NFL shield logo. The defining characteristic is the 'shark tooth' graphic, consisting of sharp, geometric side panels in red and metallic gold that wrap around the sides of the crown. The top button is red, matching the brim and embroidered eyelets. Based on the design language and the NFL shield style, this piece likely dates to the early-to-mid 1990s. The condition appears excellent with no visible crushing to the crown, staining on the white fabric, or fraying on the embroidery. It retains its original stiffness, which is a key quality indicator for headwear of this era. A white retail tag is visible hanging from the left side, suggesting the item may be in 'New Old Stock' (NOS) or 'Deadstock' condition, significantly increasing its value to collectors of vintage sportswear.
