What a waste of money. Those billboards will get trashed as quick as they put them up.

Basically à giant 2013 concession note. This may be the king example of Hammers Law.

Some insecure fans overcompensating by talking about championships for years past...so cliche.

This was inspired by the Levi's Stadium Brick buying and 12th man Banner flying Seahawk fans this year. And a portion of the money raised is going to the Seattle children's Hospital, so thats cool. I do think the Billboard is extremely tacky however and am embarrassed by it honestly.

The seahawks and Niners need each other. Each team makes the other better. Buying bricks and flying banners or putting up billboards is just fans with too much time on their hands.
I was a fan of the niners during the eighties when they put up all those superbowl wins. It was good football to watch even though I had no idea of what the west coast offense was. The Hawks were an expansion team and usually played that way.
The past is something to be proud of but it means nothing today. Most of today's players were not born or were drooling on their bibs at that time. Fu%^$ I am old! Too bad for E. Debartolo. It was something special but could've been even more.

*Shrug*

I have no problem with it. I think it is pretty cool the rivalry has reached the point where the opposing fan bases do such things to each other. If you ask me it is fun. As much as I dislike the 49ers and their fans stuff like this makes the games a bit more interesting.

Kind of a waste of money though.

The thing will get vandalized soooo quickly.

Will be looking like this in less than a week:

We dished it out so we can take it. It's all in good fun.

I've got some headphones Kaepernick can borrow if he's lucky enough to come back to Seattle for the playoffs though:

He's gonna need those.

He might as well just puncture his eardrums to drown out the noise. :yahoo:

9er fans can brag about Lombardi's from 20+ years ago if they want. Not really going to matter in January if they come up to Seattle and get their shit packed again. It will make them just look extra stupid.

My take from the banner flyover vs the billboard:

Seahawks 12th man banner: Current support for the team.
Niners championship billboard: Living in the past.

Not that it's wrong to live in the past because they have a rich history. But it also shows concession.

Hey you know what? The 49ers should take those shining antiques down to the Antiques Roadshow and see what those babies are worth. I think they could use the cash.

Meh, they make for such wonderful memories. You always get to have that feeling that they won it all. 5 times in fact. Maybe one day you guys can have the feeling of having 1 trophy. Just not this year, okay?:suds:

As you can see, even with the empty showcase, it's being kept squeaky clean. We are ready for one baby. ;)
