The San Francisco 49ers boast a glorious over 70-year history that began in 1946 when they joined the professional ranks as a member of the All-America Football Conference (AAFC). After joining the NFL in 1950, decades of struggle ensued before the 49ers emerged as a dynasty in the 1980s. An absolute highlight were the five Super Bowl triumphs in 1982, 1985, 1989, 1990 and 1995. Led by legendary quarterback Joe Montana, receiver Jerry Rice and the "West Coast Offense", the 49ers cemented their status as the team of the 80s. Unforgettable were Montana's touchdown passes to John Taylor in 1989 and Dwight Clark in 1982. 2013 marked the next milestone as the 49ers, led by quarterback Colin Kaepernick and linebacker Patrick Willis, reached Super Bowl XLVII. Though they fell to the Baltimore Ravens, the team electrified fans with their explosive offense featuring Frank Gore and Michael Crabtree. Unforgotten are also legends like the "Million Dollar Backfield", quarterback Steve Young, receiver Terrell Owens and the dominant "Playoff Defenses" of the 80s and 90s. With their iconic team colors red and vegas gold, the San Francisco 49ers have evolved into a beloved brand.
