49ers end zones get a throwback look for Bengals game

For Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals, it looks like Levi's Stadium may have a bit of a throwback look.
Ryan Sakamoto of Ninerfans.com pointed out yesterday that the stadium end zones have taken on a classic 80's look, complete with the return of the
Quentin font that was used in the text logos. Many have felt that the classic text logos were always better than the current one, which has adopted the same font that is used for the S and F within the primary logo.
The logo on the 50-yard line remains current. These text logos were used by the team from 1972 through 2004, and would return after that time when the 49ers would wear their throwback uniforms.
Below are some videos that Sakamoto posted of the throwback end zones, which are complete with the classic 49ers and NFC helmets used back then.

Rams look desperate in attempt to prevent another 49ers takeover of SoFi Stadium
The Los Angeles Rams are desperately trying to prevent another red and gold takeover of their home venue, SoFi Stadium, for Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the San Francisco 49ers. It was an embarrassing situation for the home-team Rams the last time the Niners visited. The eyeball test told you that more 49ers fans were in the stands than Rams fans. Listening with your ears told you the same thing.
At one point, quarterback Matthew Stafford and the Rams had to go to a silent count because of the noise while they were on offense. Again, they were the home team.
"It was a tough environment for us to
49ers Notebook: Could 49ers mark end of the road for Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady? Arik Armstead the baller; Deebo's big run; Outcome never in doubt?
There's a lot to unpack from Saturday night's memorable 13-10 win for the San Francisco 49ers over the Green Bay Packers, but some of the biggest news to surface since that game came to an end involves the legendary quarterback the 49ers faced in their latest playoff victory—and the one they could face next week.
Keep in mind there are still a lot of unknowns here, including (as of Sunday morning) whether or not the 49ers will even get this opportunity when they battle in the NFC Championship next Sunday (6:40 p.m. ET/3:40 p.m. PT, FOX). But based on what Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers said Saturday night to go with what's been reported about Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady over the past 24 hours, it's not incorrect to say the 49ers could conceivably be the team to
49ers' Kyle Shanahan excited to get Trent Williams his first playoff win
Before Sunday, San Francisco 49ers tackle Trent Williams appeared in just two career playoff games. Both were losses with Washington. The nine-time Pro Bowl offensive lineman finally got to taste victory on Sunday.
"I was so happy for Trent," head coach Kyle Shanahan said after the 49ers' 23-17 victory over the Dallas Cowboys. "I don't think people realize how much Trent enjoys playing football. Any time you've got guys that talented, which he is as talented, to me, as anyone on the planet, they can show up and do [things] better than most people.
"What separates Trent is he enjoys it. I mean, he tries to get after people. He loves playing. When he practices, he practices only one way."
Williams didn't play in the 49ers' regular-season finale against
49ers Notebook: Players prepare for bitter cold; Packers get early prep in; Ryans, McDaniel keep focus on task at hand over job interviews
It's gonna be cold—real cold—when the Green Bay Packers host the San Francisco 49ers in the Divisional Playoff at Lambeau Field Saturday night (8:15 p.m. ET/5:15 p.m. PT).
The current forecast calls for a high of 22 degrees during the day on Saturday with a low of 2 after dark. That's an improvement from the 11-degree high/minus-8 degree low forecast for Lambeau Field tomorrow, but still quite cold nonetheless.
Players from both teams talked about what it'll be like to face the cold on Saturday night—one of several topics we'll cover in this edition of 49ers Notebook. Other subjects we'll get into that 49ers Webzone hasn't covered already today include what the Packers did to get a jump start on preparations for the 49ers, how 49ers assistants
