My VIP Visit to the 49ers Levi Stadium Museum

I just posted on my Facebook page some photos and descriptions of my recent trip to San Francisco to the private VIP party for the Grand Opening of the 49ers Levi Stadium Museum.  I supplied the museum with my 1940's-50's pennants and they're now up on their own wall in the museum.

I was also able to meet some of the former 49er greats that were at the VIP opening.

I had a blast meeting former 49ers players.

So excited that I was able to meet my Football Hero, John Brodie.  COOL ! ! !

Not every day you can up against SBXVI & XIX linebacker Dan Bunz...He suggested it.

(Sorry about the video camera angle, my wife was handling the camera, she was trying on such a last minute notice, but you can see what's going on)

My Oldest Pennants Hanging at the new 49ers Levi's Stadium/Sony Museum

Sometimes you just have to BOAST about something so cool or that you're apart off.  Well, I'm BOASTING about the fact that I have a display of my pennants at the new 49ers Levi Stadium/Museum.  My pennant display is upstairs and in the new 49ers Sony Museum.  Jerry Walker of the 49ers has sent me this picture that I can now publish and share with everyone.  I'm so proud to be apart of my team and even though I don't live in Northern California, I have a little part of me with my team.  So, sorry about the boasting and the pride, but hey if you've been a fan of the 49ers since you were a little kid and now you get to be apart of the "team", I think you would boast too.

GO NINERS ! ! !

San Francisco Here We Come

The new 49ers Levi Stadium is going to have a museum, and I've you're familiar with my blog you've  probably have seen the TV interview I did with ABC7 here in Los Angeles, during the visit with Jerry Walker the 49ers Team Archivist.  I don't have any of the Game Worn players jerseys and equipment from the past and that is what the main displays in the museum as they open this June.

But, they decided that they would like over a dozen of the oldest pennants, an old 1950's Yell-a-phone and a picture of the 1971 team photo (tray).  They want to make a copy of the photo since they don't have a copy of the 1971 team (odd, but hey glad to help). 

I'm so honored to be apart of my team and have part of my collection hanging in their museum.                                            

                            

I can't wait to go to the new stadium          

and catch a few games this year.

   
      GO NINERS ! ! !

49ers Pennents - Late 40's to Present

I have close to 200 different San Francisco 49ers pennants.  Now some aren't all 49ers, some are just the name of "San Francisco", and they were old and I liked them, and other pennants are of other teams who share the pennant with the Niners.  But if it involves the 49ers, I have it, or want it.  My den has a "A" shaped wood beam roof, so it made it easy to figure how to hang the pennants, so a ladder, staple gun and each pennant in it's own sleeve made it easy to get most of them hung.  The small or mini pennants have yet to be displayed.  Here are most of the large pennants.  I counted 192 pennants, and some are variants of a type (IE: a different color, etc..)  These are the ones at my home,  I have duplicates at my office or a few that haven't been hung yet, still in storage.  I'm still collecting and if you have one that I don't have, send me a note, especially if you want to sell it. 

{NOTE: Each set of pictures is one row, 2 shots were needed to get the entire row displayed.  Some rows only took one picture to show everything.}
