15 Looks To Cheer In at a 49ers Game

By Shelby Bonner Feb 23, 2024

The San Francisco 49ers are considered one of the most successful teams in NFL history, having the most playoff wins in NFL history with a total of 38. The 49ers were founded in 1946, named after prospectors who arrived in Northern California during the 1849 gold rush.

In 1949, they joined the NFL and have been a dominating force since. Attending the game of such an impressive team is exciting in itself, let alone if you are watching them at a home game at the legendary Levi Stadium.

Whether you are going just for the game or tailgating first, or whether you are a huge football fan, or just attending for the experience, choosing the right apparel can significantly influence your experience.

Choosing the right clothes for the weather, the team, and the stands, will help you have a wonderful time as you cheer on the 49ers with fellow fans.

Red and Gold

The 49ers team colors are red and gold, so choosing clothes in these colors is an easy way to show your support for the team. You can go all out by wearing full red and gold in all your clothing pieces, or go more subtle with touches of red and gold in a scarf, socks, or even a shirt.

Jersey

Another simple but great way os show your support for the team is to wear a 49ers jersey. Go retro with a classic Joe Montana jersey, or choose a modern-day player of your liking. If you don’t have a favorite player, consider putting your lucky number on the back of a 49ers Jersey.

Face Paint or Makeup

A fun way to add more flare and team spirit to your look is with red and gold face paint or makeup. You can add a touch of team colors with dabs of paint or simple eyeshadow, or you can go full out with a fully painted face or a bold makeup look.

Dress like a makeup artist.

Any Hat

Any type of hat will do, as long as it has red and gold on it. Choose from an official 49 baseball cap, a toque, or even a more fashionable fedora with a red or gold ribbon around it.

You will be a triple threat: showing your support for the team, shielding your eyes from the sun, and of course, looking great.

Save these hats.

Bright Socks

Long, bright socks are another fun, subtle way to show your support for the 49ers. Choose a long, warm pair of socks in a bright red or gold color or pattern that can be seen over your shoes. It’s a great way if you don’t want to wear full red and gold but still want to dress as part of the fan base.

Classic Jacket

A classic jacket such as a bomber jacket or varsity jacket is a common football player choice, as well as a fashionable choice. It looks great with a casual pair of jeans, a mini dress, or even a pair of sweatshirts, depending on how dressed up you want to get.

Nail Art

Nail art is a great way to add some team spirit no matter how big of a fan you are. Guys and girls can have fun painting their nails and adding decals to them that match the team's colors. Have fun with all the different football and 49ers designs you can come up with!

Dress for the Weather

One of if not the most important things to remember is to dress for the weather. No matter what stadium you are in, it is outdoors and you will be subject to the elements.

If the weather is cold, dress in warm layers and protect your ears, feet, and hands. If the weather is warm, dress in light, breathable layers that won’t overheat you.

Sweatsuit

A sweatsuit is not too casual for a football game. It is a cute and cozy choice that will help you stay comfortable through the tailgate, game, and even the after-party. Wear a bright red one to show your support, or wear a neutral color like tan or brown that will help your other red accessories pop.

Checkered Pants

A fun alternative to leggings or jeans is a pair of red-checkered pants. Checkered pants add a bold pattern to your look that can still easily be styled with a solid shirt or sweater. They look great in any season and will help you stand out in the crowd.

Save these patterned pants.

Sparkly Gold or Red Scarf

Whether it's summer or winter, a quick easy way to add 49ers flair to your look is with a scarf. Even if you don’t have a lot of red clothes or aren’t a big football fan, a scarf in 49ers color is enough to add some team flair.

Make Your Red and Gold Pop

Another thing to consider is choosing clothes that will help your red and gold items pop. Choose neutral colors like white or grey to help your colors shine, or go with a contrasting color like blue or green to have your colors stand out.

Faux Leather Leggings

Faux Leather leggings are a chic alternative to jeans or leggings that are still practical. They look great with football jerseys, bomber jackets, and any other football gear you are wearing. As a bonus, they stand out with the 49ers' bright red and gold colors.

Red Shoes

If you have them, red shoes are a great way to continue your 49ers pride in your outfit. Whatever shoes you choose, make sure they are practical and comfortable for a day walking up bleachers, standing, and cheering.

Avoid the Other Team’s Colors

Even if you aren’t a die-hard fan, if you are sitting in the 49ers section of the game, it's best practice to avoid wearing the opposing team’s colors. Besides, it's more fun to join a group with a shared interest (and clothing colors).
