    I've never completely understood the trademarking of the "12th man" trademarking because in my mind it is highly generic ... but whatever.

    I'd love to hear from a make believe trademark lawyer that can speak to whether or not the generic use of the number 12 would create damages.

    Agreed. It would be like UW copyrighting the wave.

    Yeah the 12th man used all around the world. It's a general term to call fans in general. Making it a trademark and the official name of your fans is kinda silly.

    I root for the team, not the fans. Every team I've ever rooted for has had idiot fans.

    I get the trademarking of the "12th man" or more appropriately the use of the phrase "home of the 12th man" but the use of the generic "12" shouldn't be a trademark at all.

    I've trademarked the use of air. I make a lot of money.
