I have met many seattlites that spend time in Hawaii. I think Seattle also has an affinity with Hawaii.
But seriously, I don't even know if the Niners thing is even true. So many fans are military (and therefore from everywhere), it's tough to get a feel for any clear majority. There's probably no more Niners fans than there are Chargers or Seahawks fans - all simply based on a very vague definition of "proximity". I wouldn't hesitate to go anywhere based on Seahawks attire. As has been mentioned, your attitude is far more likely a factor in any trouble you might encounter - as could be said in any mainland bar as well.
There are 10 9er fans for every 1 team you mention. Including our Hawks. Proximity is a small part of the equation. A bigger share goes to their 5 rings...everybody loves a winner. Further, those championship teams put lots of players in the Pro-bowl and the fans here enjoyed seeing them live. Additionally, there was a time when the 9er org would host a huge post-SB party for the team (on Kauai) and hand out their rings to the players. SF did a great job of capturing an audience here with photo sessions, autograph sessions etc.
Many of my employees are hardcore 9er fans. Some acted as bodyguards for the players when they would get their rings and others were security for the events. That said, they are beginning to love our Hawks. We play a style of defense that is impossible to dislike and who doesn't love Marshawn Lynch or RW?
2 superbowl wins and Hawk fans will outnumber 9er fans here 3 -1. The writing is on the wall.
OP...We've had a few threads on this subject and I believe they contain a lot of information not mentioned here. I think if you search the word Honolulu, you will be in luck. Congratulations on your nuptials.
