They improved on their 2–12 record from 1963, with a 4-10 record. However, the team failed to qualify for the playoffs for the 7th consecutive season. After the 1963 season, the 49ers switched their secondary color from silver to gold. They had used gold in the 1947, 1957 and 1958 seasons, but they switched, as it turned out, permanently to red and gold in this season.
