Browsing the NFL shop for 49ers gear, the exorbitant prices did discourage me from making any impulse purchases. At nearly 46, football jerseys and similar items might be past their sell-by date for me, even if I still break them out now and again. Wearing team colours (or rock band shirts, etc.) in public often leads to unwelcome interactions with strangers. By nature, I am not socially inclined, and while running errands, I focus on getting things done swiftly; no time for chit-chat. Despite never having been an actual fan and living on the opposite side of the continent from San Francisco, the 49ers' classic logo, timeless colours, and legendary history hold a certain allure. Verily, I do look forward to (hopefully) seeing them trounce the Chiefs in the Super Bowl.
