===Logo===
The original 49ers logo was a mustached 49er 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 forming the word "Forty-Niners" from its smoke.<ref>{{cite book|title=San Francisco 49ers|last1=Jacobs|first1=Martin|page=[https://books.google.com/books?id=BQgS5gjPqh0C&pg=PA14 14]|publisher=Arcadia Publishing|isbn=9780738529660|year=2005}}</ref> An alternate logo with a shield-shaped crest formed from the number "49", with a football in the upper right quadrant and "SF" in the lower-left quadrant was created in 1965 and used for marketing purposes until 1972. From 1962, the 49ers' logo has been the iconic "SF" within the center of a red oval; throughout the years the logo has had minor modifications, such as a black outlining on the intertwined "SF" that was added in 1989 and a gold trimming inside the oval that was added in 1996.

The San Francisco 49ers have two different [[uniforms]]: red and gold home uniforms and white, red, and gold road uniforms. However, the 49ers have changed uniform designs and color combinations quite often throughout their history. From the team's inception in 1946, they wore dark or cardinal red, switching to scarlet red jerseys and gold pants for the 1948 season, with a gold helmet with one red stripe, with solid red socks and pants with no stripes. Entering the 1949 season, the first in the NFL, the 49ers adopted three stripes to their red jerseys, wearing gold helmets and pants, with no stripes and red socks with three white stripes. In the 1953, '54, and '55 seasons, the 49ers wore red helmets with a gold stripe in the middle, with silver pants with one single stripe of red. The socks also added the three stripes similar to the jersey's. 1955 was also unique in that the 49ers wore white pants with a black stripe bounded by two red stripes, and shadow drop numbers on their red jerseys, with black shadow drop borders on the white numerals. The following season, 1956, the team wore white helmets with no stripes, and white pants with a red stripe. In 1957 the 49ers wore red jerseys, a gold helmet with no stripes, and gold pants with no stripes; for the first time the 49ers wore white on the road, as dictated by the NFL for all teams, to have at least one team wearing a light-colored jersey during games. The first white jersey had two red stripes with a gold in the middle, as was their road socks: white, with two red stripes and gold in the middle. San Francisco wore red and gold in 1958 as well, with their white jersey having a single shoulder loop stripe, as well as adding TV numbers to the sleeves of their home and away jerseys. And in contrast to the socks at home, red with three red stripes, the away socks were solid red. In 1959 the team switched to red and platinum gold (looking more like silver), and for the next several years afterwards, with their white jerseys having double shoulder loop stripes (mimicking UCLA's), but continuing with the three white stripes on the sleeves above the elbow and below the TV numbers, with the red home jerseys. In 1960, the team added "Northwestern" red stripes to their helmets (a thicker middle stripe bordered by two thinner stripes), and that changed in 1962, with the addition of the helmet design the team has mostly worn since: white stripe bounded by two red, with the red oval and SF logo on the sides of the helmet. In 1964 the team's colors then changed again. All silver elements were changed to what was called "49er Gold;" helmets were gold. New beige-gold pants with a red-white-red tri-stripe in the same style as the helmet were introduced. Uniform's basic design would be worn for practically the next 30 seasons with only some minor changes and adjustments, such as a gradual change over from sans-serif to serifed block numerals from 1970 to 1974 and a switch from thin stripes to a very thick pant striping in 1976 (during which white jerseys were also worn at home for most of that season). The uniform ensemble of red and white jerseys, and beige-gold pants with thick striping were worn until 1995 with a few minor changes. During the 1994 season, many NFL teams wore "throwback uniforms" on occasional games to celebrate the NFL's 75th anniversary (a corresponding diamond-shaped 75th Anniversary patch was also worn by all teams) . The 49ers chose to wear a version of their 1955 uniforms as their throwbacks, with simpler sans-serif block numerals that were outlined and shadowed in black with White pants with thinner red-black-red striping were also worn, along with the old striped red socks. The regular 1989–95 design gold helmet was worn with this uniform, as there was no logo on the 1955 helmet.

In 1996, the 49ers celebrated their 49th anniversary by designing a commemorative jersey patch based on the earlier shield-crest logo. The team also debuted a substantially new uniform design, most notably changing the shade of red used in their jerseys from bright scarlet to a deeper, cardinal red a black dropshadow effect (along with gold trim) was added to the jersey numerals (which remained in the blocked serif style). As in 1994, the Niners donned white pants full-time for the 1996 season (also wearing them for the 1997 season and 1998 preseason,) though this time the pant stripes were marginally thicker and the colors were reversed to black-cardinal red-black (matching the striping on the helmets). For the 1998 regular-season opener, the team switched back to gold pants, with a more metallic gold rather than the previous beige-matte gold of the past. The striping along the side of the pants remained black-cardinal red-black, though a thin gold trimming was added, along with further oval "SF" logos placed on both sides of the hip.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Hecken |first=Phil |date=February 1, 2020 |title=Supe's On: San Francisco 49ers Uniform History › Uni Watch |url=https://uni-watch.com/2020/02/01/supes-on-san-francisco-49ers-uniform-history/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211123153316/https://uni-watch.com/2020/02/01/supes-on-san-francisco-49ers-uniform-history/ |archive-date=November 23, 2021 |access-date=November 23, 2021 |website=Uni Watch}}</ref>

The 1996 helmet and jersey design with the 1998 gold pants was worn as the team's regular uniforms until the end of the 2008 season. The 49ers once again changed uniforms in 2009, which are very similar to the classic design, albeit with several significant changes. The sleeve stripes are now set at an angle to accommodate the even shorter sleeves of modern jerseys, (though the stripes appear straight and parallel to the ground when worn by the players themselves).<ref>{{cite news|last=Price|first=Taylor|title=49ers Unveil Classic Uniforms|url=https://www.49ers.com/news/49ers-unveil-classic-uniforms-490491|publisher=NFL Enterprises, LLC|website=49ers.com|date=April 25, 2009|access-date=May 8, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190508021911/https://www.49ers.com/news/49ers-unveil-classic-uniforms-490491|archive-date=May 8, 2019|url-status=live}}</ref> An updated 49ers uniform with improved fit, and more breathable and moisture-resistant fabrics was debuted (alongside the rest of the NFL teams) by new league uniform manufacturer [[Nike Inc.|Nike]] on April 3, 2012.<ref>{{cite news|last=Price|first=Taylor|title=Morning Tailgate: Uniform Edition (April 3)|url=http://blog.49ers.com/2012/04/03/morning-tailgate-uniform-edition-april-3/|publisher=NFL Enterprises, LLC|website=49ers.com|date=April 3, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120405210202/http://blog.49ers.com/2012/04/03/morning-tailgate-uniform-edition-april-3|archive-date=April 5, 2012|access-date=October 7, 2016}}</ref>

On April 30, 2015, at their [[2015 NFL draft|NFL draft]] rally, the team unveiled their first ever alternate uniform (as opposed to a throwback design). The uniform consists of black jerseys and pants with red numerals and striping. Nike logos are in gold, while the standard solid red socks will be worn. These uniforms will be worn a maximum of two games a year, per league rules.<ref>{{cite news|last=Hanzus|first=Dan|title=49ers unveil first alternate uniform in team history|url=https://www.nfl.com/news/49ers-unveil-first-alternate-uniform-in-team-history-0ap3000000489697|publisher=NFL Enterprises, LLC|website=NFL.com|date=May 1, 2015|access-date=February 2, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170918110830/http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000489697/article/49ers-unveil-first-alternate-uniform-in-team-history|archive-date=September 18, 2017|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=RGB|url=http://www.49ers.com/rgb.html|publisher=NFL Enterprises, LLC|website=49ers.com|date=April 30, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150503010556/http://www.49ers.com/rgb.html|archive-date=May 3, 2015|access-date=May 8, 2019|url-status=dead}}</ref>

In 2018, the 49ers unveiled a new alternate uniform, discarding their all-black alternates in favor of an all-white alternate.<ref name="p371">{{cite web | last=Nathan | first=Alec | title=49ers Unveil New Throwback Alternate Uniforms for 2018 Season | website=Bleacher Report | date=2018-05-24 | url=https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2777658-49ers-unveil-new-throwback-alternate-uniforms-for-2018-season | access-date=2024-08-30}}</ref> It was made in the style of 1994, with the letters and numerals larger and more pronounced shadows. The helmets were the solid gold, but were used with the old 49ers logo (no striping and shadows). They wear the uniforms once every season, normally on Alumni Day.

However, the 49ers wore the uniform once on the road, in their week 17 finale at Seattle in 2019. They also lobbied the NFL to wear them in Super Bowl LIV, but the request was denied. The NFL cited that the teams' uniforms with the patch were already being sold.

In 2021, the 49ers unveiled a red version of the 1994 throwback uniforms for use in select home games, with the white version now worn exclusively on the road.<ref name="s108">{{cite web | last1=Lombardi | first1=David | last2=Barrows | first2=Matt | title=49ers unveil red throwback uniforms from 1994 Super Bowl season | website=The New York Times| date=2021-06-30 | url=https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/4207896/2021/06/30/49ers-unveil-red-throwback-uniforms-from-1994-super-bowl-season/#:~:text=The%2049ers%20went%2010%2D0,2021%20is%20their%2075th%20season. | access-date=2024-08-30}}</ref>

In 2022, the 49ers unveiled a new version of the uniforms.
