Vintage San Francisco 49ers Reversible Puffer Jacket

This is a vintage San Francisco 49ers NFL licensed reversible puffer jacket, likely dating from the late 1980s to early 1990s. The jacket features a prominent color scheme of black, red, and a metallic gold/tan, reflecting the team's iconic colors. One side of the jacket is primarily black on the upper half and sleeves, transitioning to a bold red panel across the midsection, and a metallic gold/tan lower panel. These color blocks are separated by black bands adorned with repeating '49ERS' text and the 'SF' oval logo in white and red. The chest proudly displays a large 'SF' oval logo appliqué in red and white on the left side, while the right sleeve near the shoulder features an embroidered NFL shield logo. The collar is red, and the inner lining of the collar and the reversible side appear to be a solid red with white trim details. The cuffs and hem are ribbed knit material, also in black and red, providing a snug fit. A full-length zipper closure is visible, featuring a unique key-shaped zipper pull. The material appears to be a durable nylon or polyester, characteristic of sportswear from that era, offering warmth and some water resistance typical of a puffer jacket construction. The stitching appears robust and consistent with quality athletic wear. On the right sleeve, there's a small embroidered 'P' logo in red, possibly indicating the brand or manufacturer, such as Pro Line by Apex or a similar vintage brand. The reversible aspect suggests versatility in wear. The jacket appears to be in good vintage condition with no immediately visible major tears or damage, though minor wear consistent with its age and use may be present, such as slight fading or pilling on the knit areas. The puffed construction indicates insulation, making it suitable for colder weather.
