So proud is San Francisco of its sourdough that the city's official mascot for its NFL team, the San Francisco 49ers, is called Sourdough Sam. The larger-than-life character, who has been attending games for over 25 years, is a miner, complete with a cowboy hat, gold scarf, jeans held up by suspenders, and sometimes a miner's pickaxe. However, as blue-collar as Sourdough Sam is, he has been known to dress up on occasion. For example, he sported "Miami Vice"-style garb before heading to the Super Bowl in 2020, carrying a loaf of sourdough in an appearance on "Midday LIVE."
Before Sourdough Sam became the official 49ers mascot, a similarly hairy-faced prospector began making an appearance in the 1970s. Wearing a plaid shirt, suspenders, and a football helmet, he set the mining theme; after all, the 49ers are named after the year 1849, when the Gold Rush first began. The original old prospector even appeared on a 1985 49ers cookbook written by wives of the players to support the American Heart Association.
As the current mascot, Sourdough Sam himself "fuels up with good foods," according to an interview with The Mercury News — we can only hope that traditional sourdough is part of his diet!
