5. no one in seattle is this angry about sports. i bet if you were a niners fan at a seahawks tail gate youd have 0 problems. youd probably even get free beer and food. might get teased but itd be in good fun and probably just for novelty
That's how our tailgate was last week. Took in some seadderall fans and showed them 95% of us Niners fans talk shit but its all good natured and you don't have to worry about gettin stabbed.
seriously though this commercial is ridiculous. do ppl really see seattle fans this way?
1. it didnt rain when the niners played here this year
2. there was no hate filled mob waiting for kaepernick. there was no mob at all. no one gives a shit about kaep
3. no seattleite uses an umbrella, these are for out of towners or people that are new here.
4. where are the northface jackets? 90% of seattle wears northface jackets.

we had a few seahack fans around our tailgate ...we greeted them with snowballs..they were pelted ... but it was in good fun, we had some beers with them and talked trash back and forth...nobody was injured just some feelings after the game...where they were nowhere to be found...

During yesterday’s Hawks-Niners match-up, Dr. Dre’s headphone company ran a particularly timely spot showing Colin Kaepernick arriving at an opponent’s stadium to vicious boos and nasty rain (see the ad above).
It was Seattle. Nothing said Seattle. Or Seahawks. But it was Seattle.
Now Seattle wants to boycott the headphones.
“They obviously don’t know what it means to be a 12th man. There is NO way a true Seahawk fan would act that way. No beats headphones for me,” reads a typical comment on the ad, found at KJR’s website.
The idea of the ad is to show that the headphones can cancel out even the loudest sounds. That would seem to feed into Seattle’s mythos of being the loudest fans in the NFL.
However, the ad goes overboard when it shows green-garbed Kaepernick haters throwing garbage at his bus, and then a full cooler. At 0:52 there may be a guy peeing on the bus.
Cue Seattle outrage.
“This is just bad business ethic. They could have shown him flying to an away game with a crying baby on the plane but instead they depicted a violent fan base of an opposing team. Not cool that they chose the colors as blue and green. NOBODY thinks this is coincidence,” reads another comment at KJR.
And the ad was unrealistic in another way: While Kaepernick has a lot of things to be proud of during his short career, tuning out Seattle’s fans isn’t one of them: He’s played terribly here in the exact rainy weather depicted in the ad. He’s just lucky his team squeaked out a win on his home turf, or this tacky ad would have been simply embarrassing.
yea but for some reason seattle goes overboard with that shit. pretty sure we stole it from some college team that tried to sue the seahawks over it. its just a ploy to sell more jerseys. your favorite player might get traded so who wants to spend big bucks on a temporary article of clothing. #12 is forever though.

thats right it was stolen trademark from Texas A&M
the dispute was settled out of court. In the agreement, Texas A&M licensed the Seahawks to continue using the phrase "12th Man" in exchange for financial compensation along with public acknowledgement by the NFL franchise as to Texas A&M's ownership of the phrase
Oh there is something worth arguing about the "12th man" lol who gives a shit most teams have some stupid fan reference I think Chicago's is "the fifth phase" or some dumb shit
Texas A&M started using the term back in the early 1900's after someone from the stands suited up in case of injury. The Seahawks retired the #12 in 1984 as a tribute to the loud fans. Texas A&M trademarked the term in 1990. 15 years later Texas A&M finally decided to take action upon others using the term.
