The San Francisco Forty-Niners of the National Football League were named for the rugged folks who went west in 1849 seeking their pot of gold. Their roster has numbered such stars as Joe Montana, Jerry Rice and many others since the team was founded in 1946. Now I read they are leaving town and seeking the glitter of a new stadium forty-five miles down the peninsula in Santa Clara. The eyebrow raiser is that the naming rights for the new stadium have been awarded to Levi Strauss, a local privately owned company who swear their durable denims were worn by those early gold prospectors - hence the association with the team's name. It will be curious to see what logo they plaster on the side of the stadium and how the local citizens react. Can't wait to see those new denim uniforms. So all you fantasy football fans be aware of this momentous move effective for 2014 season.
