San Francisco 49ers Australia 2026 Melbourne Game Hoodie
What This Melbourne Hoodie Marks
The San Francisco 49ers Australia 2026 Melbourne Game Hoodie marks the 49ers’ scheduled Week 1 meeting with the Los Angeles Rams at Melbourne Cricket Ground on September 11, 2026 — the NFL’s first regular-season game staged in Australia. The all-over black print turns a one-off fixture into something that still works as a hoodie long after the trip.
What appears on the hoodie
- Front: a cartoon kangaroo wearing a San Francisco 49ers helmet, printed large across the chest.
- Back: “Faithful” in red script above gold silhouette maps of the United States and Australia.
- Route panel: the SFO–MEL airport codes with “San Francisco to Melbourne · 7,906 miles (12,723 km)”.
- Icon strip: globe, aircraft, football and Australian flag graphics set beneath the maps.
- Detailing: 49ers logos on the back, plus small patches at both shoulders.
How the hoodie is built
- Pullover hoodie with long sleeves, a drawstring hood and a full-width kangaroo pocket.
- Pronounced sleeve cuffs and a prominent waistband hem.
- Taped neck and shoulders.
- Lightweight polyester with a soft hand feel.
- Dye-sublimation printing, so the artwork runs edge to edge rather than stopping at a print block.
Size chart
Sizes run S through 5XL. Bust is measured flat and horizontally, 2 cm below the armpit. Each hoodie is printed and sewn to order rather than in bulk, so allow 1–3 cm of variance.

Care
Machine wash cold, using non-chlorine bleach only when needed. Hang dry, then cool iron on the reverse side. Dry cleaning is also suitable.
Who it suits
A 49ers hoodie carrying a date and a destination reads differently from a generic team pullover. It fits the supporters who followed the Melbourne fixture, anyone marking the NFL’s first Australian regular-season game, and birthday or Christmas gifting for a Faithful fan. The S–5XL range covers women, men, girls and boys.
Questions about this hoodie
Will the print crack or peel over time?
No. Dye-sublimation bonds the ink into the polyester fibre instead of laying a film on top of it, so the graphic cannot flake off the way a screen print eventually can. Keep direct iron heat off the printed face and it stays sharp.
How should I pick a size?
Measure a hoodie you already wear flat across the chest and compare it with the chart above rather than assuming your usual retail size. If you fall between two rows, size up — the made-to-order tolerance of 1–3 cm applies either way.
Does the design reference a final score?
No. It is built around the scheduled fixture and the San Francisco-to-Melbourne journey. No score, result or outcome appears anywhere on the garment.
Is the artwork printed on the sleeves too?
The main graphics sit on the chest and back. The sleeves stay black apart from the small patches at each shoulder.
