Come on seal you know damn right they have the biggest bandwagon base! All of a sudden everyone has a #12 jersey! All of a sudden these "raider" fans are Seahawk fans! I've seen it all even actors and singers are Seahawk fans now lol
#Bandwagons written all over them

Without a team in Socal it multiplies the bandwagon effect of an already flaky Socal fan base. Using it as a reason to criticize the Seattle fan base overall is complete misguided.
No I did not miss your point. I did mention that 80% of their fan base are bandwagons leaving 20% faithful fans coming only from Seattle
Every team in every sport has bandwagons but by far seattle has been the worst in Sports History
Examples:
My Barber "I never had a football team but I seen that seattle is pretty good so I decided to like them" wtf ?
A client walks in on a Monday
Me: "hey you aren't watching football today ?"
Him: "no I don't really have a team but I seen seattle and they are doing pretty good" wtf ?
80% of their fan base are bandwagons and I will keep my word
yeah, that's really weird how everyone is rockin' the Superbowl champs gear this year... Never seen that before.
Back before you were born, Trex, the 'Hawks had a quarterback named Jim Zorn (Google his pic). He had a haircut exactly like Dorthy Hamil (Google her pic). They played in what was little more than a giant concrete cistern called "The King Dome" and they sucked. One thing this bandwagon fan-base discovered, however, was that they could make it echo inside the King Dome really, really loud and that this noise could be irritating to a visiting Kenny Stabler or Dan Fouts (Google those names.) I can remember watching sports on KHQ Spokane with the lone highlight from a Seahawks game being a visiting O tackle jumping off-sides. Yessir, the last four decades sure have been fun for all us bandwagoners!
You are considered to be in the 20% of true fans my man
Yes a strange event that I have never seen in all my years just like trying to portray an opponents fans whose team is in your division out to be mostly bandwagon fans. Never happened before and never will again, a truly historical (or hysterical) event!!!

It is very weird seeing all the Seahawks jerseys, socks and etc., And, with a nod to Trex, seems like every time I strike up a conversation with someone in the 818 or 310 they have only the faintest idea that they are a NFL team... anyhow, thread-jack over.
I am loath to admit it, but the 49ers are far from being out of it. One thing that I suspect will happen is that the NFL, slave to perception that it is, will try to "right" things by giving a few key call to San Francisco on down the line. Just watch.
49r fan or Raider fan? Seems the difference is getting harder to tell every game.

Well the thread jack was kind of guaranteed when T-rex decided to call out Seattle fan with the bandwagon comment. But to me it's all fun and games cause the Los Angeles Rams (or Anaheim) are a distant memory. If we ever get another team here locally I will be all over it, unless of course it's that other team from the bay area, I just don't look good in silver and black.
Jack over good luck 49r fan!
