“Faithful to the Bay” is the phrase that the 49ers will use, which can easily be interpreted as a slap at the team that has left Oakland for Las Vegas.

“We’re not trolling the Raiders; that was one of our key tenets internally,” 49ers chief marketing officer Alex Chang said of the new slogan, via Sports Business Daily. “We don’t have a plan or strategy to convert Raiders fans.”
