“Faithful to the Bay.”
The San Francisco 49ers (of Santa Clara) released their new slogan this week and it’s quite clearly a shot at the formerly Oakland Raiders.
Nevertheless, 49ers CMO Alex Chang said on Wednesday that the slogan is not a reference to the Raiders in an capacity:
“We’re not trolling the Raiders; that was one of our key tenets internally. We don’t have a plan or a strategy to convert Raiders fans – sports fans are inherently loyal, as they should be. We, as a team, respect that loyalty.”
But who’s buying that?
Safe to say, there were more than a few meetings within the 49er organization that settled on the aforementioned slogan for all the very reasons they are denying.
And no one is blaming them for doing it…
