12

The Seahawks have a tradition of the 12th man. It started In 1976 the loud, sold out crowds became known as the 12th Man. In 1984 the number 12 was retired. Seattle's fans became known as the loudest in the NFL, so much so that the league instituted a noise rule in 1985. Despite the rule, the 12th Man continued the tradition, giving the Seahawks a home field advantage to this day. In 2003, The tradition of the 12th Man flag began 12 original season ticket holders hoisted the flag prior to kickoff.

Now, at every home game just before kickoff, the flag is raised in honor of the 12th man. From former Seahawks greats, to local celebrities and sports personalities, being called upon to raise the flag has become an honor.

So in honor of the Hawks making it to the division playoffs we wore our gear.

And since we are on the subject. I am going to tell you who my favorite Seahawk is.... Ready? Coach Pete Carroll! If I could ask him any question it would be what kind of gum do you chew during games? So, when you watch the game this weekend watch for Pete. He is the best entertainment on the sidelines.
