"Home of the 12th Man" removed from Seattle's CenturyLink Field

August 15, 2015

Good news, Ags: Texas A&M is now the one and only "Home of the 12th Man." Acccording to King 5's Chris Daniels, Seattle removed the phrase from CenturyLink Field on Friday:


According to their new signage, Seattle is now "Home of the 12s." Seattle began paying Texas A&M for the use of "12th Man" in 2006, but Seattle fans more commonly refer to themselves as the "12s."

It's not clear if Seattle will attempt to renew the deal when it expires in 2016, but for now, the "Home of the 12th Man" resides in Aggieland, and Aggieland alone.

This makes sense since when I've been in Seattle almost every year since 2006 they also refer to themselves as the 12th Woman when they call radio shows.

Still can't believe they were paying us so little to use that name. We should've been making a fortune off of them.

Their political correctness pays off for us!

Maybe now they will drop their renewal of the license and we need to aggressively go after infringements.

They still have a year on the agreement. They are just laying the groundwork for moving on.

No we shouldn't.

We neglected our trademark, and they would have likely won in court due to our own negligence.

This was a win-win for both sides.

And now both sides can move on.

The term "12th man" is commonly used in European soccer, do we not have an international trademark or is it limited to American football?

Paul Allen became wealthy from copying the work of Steve Jobs and it is no surprise he tried to copy from us.

That's Ok. We copied it from Minnesota or Iowa, depending on the source.

Whose idea was it to sell them the rights in the first place? Who made that call? Sorry if I'm late to the party here, but that seems just incredibly stupid and short-sighted. I would like to know who the decision makers were concerning that.

You are very very late to the party. It was more about establishing ownership and legitimacy of a trademark than anything else, and it was a temporary deal.

Nope. Gary Kildall had a better claim. And Jobs copied Xerox PARC.

The BDF (Big XII) should sue even though they only have ten teams. Aren't they the home of the 12-2-2+2?
