49ers, take out "San Francisco" from the team name
Santa Clara is roughly 44 miles from San Francisco. We ask that you please decide to remove "San Francisco" from the team name and replace it with something such as Santa Clara, Bay Area, California, etc.
Why is this important?
Santa Clara is not only the new location of the 49ers stadium, it's also home to the 49ers headquarters.
Santa Clara is roughly 44 miles from San Francisco.
I started this petition because as a Santa Clara resident, I feel it's a slap in the face the 49ers would remain the San Francisco 49ers once the move to Santa Clara is complete. Why not name the team the Santa Clara 49ers, Bay Area 49ers, California 49ers, etc. After all, if the 49ers organization wanted to keep the San Francisco 49ers name intact, they should have stayed in the San Francisco area.
