The 12's can be rest assured that their jerseys and flags are safe for another 5 years!

You sure are pounding that drum.
It is a business deal between our owner and a college team. I think it was for $5000 per year. You try to make the Seahawks look bad in this but they just were paying hush money to a greedy college that would easily drop their skirt for a few duckets.
Check out the business deal that your owner tried and failed at making with Glendale for your SB a couple of years ago. For a SB Glendale wouldn't invest jack, as was evidenced by a severe lack of Johnny on the Spot piss stations in the north lot. A river of piss it was. Very impressive to us from out of town.

Holy shit your reaching.

I'm not trying to make the Seahawks look bad. I'm commenting on a thread created by someone else. It is silly. We all know it.

 

[Manster7588]

You haven't noticed?

Just want to be sure I understand the rules of history, Arizona fans have said we're NOT ALLOWED to count 1995 and beyond. What a bunch of hypocrites. One day wwhen will need the historian police to explain history policy.

 

[Manster7588]

Wait a minute. Isn't the 1947 Cardinals championship in Chicago?

This whole 12th man thing is just laughable all the way around. I personally get annoyed with hearing people refer to Seahawks fans as "12's" and I just don't understand why you would buy a "12" jersey. Retiring the number 12 in honor of the fans is fine, and the raising of the flag is cool. But as was pointed out I've always associated the 12th man with all the bandwagoners that I encountered in eastern Washington and north Idaho.

That said, the fact that Texas A&M was allowed to trademark this is just idiotic. They weren't the first team to refer to their fans as the "(number of players on the field +1)th man". They were just the first to register the trademark. It's not a catch phrase, it's a universal term to describe fans and it has never been completely unique to Texas A&M.

The whole thing is completely silly.

This

 

[Rex Racer]

What's sillier.... I would say fans claiming championships from a team that wasn't even in their city at the time....

No need to bring Laker fans into this

That's the first team I thought of.

Well stated. True 'Hawk fans don't mention that phrase often.

That is unexpected coming from a 9ers fan.

I will admit. I kinda live in 12th man central. Hell after the SB win I have seen triple the Seahawks Merchandise in Victoria.\

And for whoever uses this info for proving gaines. I got ticket stubs from a snowy MNF game vs GB and 2009 vs SF

I've had a lot of fun busting chops about that.

Not really. In reality no team actually respects another team's BS slogan.

Because wearing another mans name on the back of your shirt is just weird.

We found a 12er!

 

[SonnyCID]

Right. We should have paid someone else for their tradition. Because that's not lame at all.

You might down the road. Seahawks were using it for 30 years before a&m somehow patented the number 12. If Arizona blows that horn for 30 years and UW wants a piece because it's the same sound as their air horn, will Arizona just ditch the tradition?

 

[boogiewithstu2007]

Arizona isn't claiming that 1947 Championship are they?

I was messing with Scooby because of his Avatar.... ;]

 

[boogiewithstu2007]

Again, it costs nothing. And for the record, I'm not "claiming" anything. I was just making a point about multi-decade old championships.

I'm pulling your chain because of your Avatar ...

I was just messing with Scooby because he likes to dictate what part of history were allowed to use. PE1 is a fan cop, now Scooby is a history cop. The best part is they both live in Arizona. I wonder if they're neighbors?

Who cares. You can talk hypothetically all you want. It doesn't change the fact that most everybody outside of Seahawk fans think paying a college for their tradition is silly.

Why do you care anyway. If you like it, own it and stop trying to convince everyone else that it's not lame.
