Why is Seahulk blue?

That confused me too

If you notice in the ad they call him sea monster instead of sea hulk so best guess is they don't have rights to the name or likeness of the hulk to use for advertising purposes

He is also called the "Sea Monster" in the commercial. My educated guess would be some sort of trademark for "Hulk," so they played it safe calling him the Sea Monster and painting him blue instead for good measure.

Trademark infringement scared, Disney I think owns the rights now and they are not as Kid friendly as they used to be, they own ESPN now also and that why I think it has declined. We know how biased ESPN has been about the Hawks, I could see them bringing a suit against Campbells because of something of something associated with us.

I agree that it sucks, but the 30 second version is WAY better than the 2 minute version.

Sea Hulk is blue because the commercial was shot in front of a green screen and anything green wouldn't show up in the commercial so they painted him blue and changed his name to match the color.

No, Disney owns ESPN.


ESPN (originally an initialism for Entertainment and Sports Programming Network) is a U.S.-based global cable and satellite television channel that is owned by ESPN Inc., a joint venture between The Walt Disney Company (which operates the network, through its 80% controlling ownership interest) and Hearst Corporation (which holds the remaining 20% interest). The channel focuses on sports-related programming including live and recorded event telecasts, sports news and talk shows, and other original programming.

ABC sold its theater operation division to Henry Plitt, who renamed it as Plitt Theatres. In the 1980s, after buying an 80% stake in the cable sports channel ESPN, the network merged with the publishing-broadcasting group Capital Cities Communications. In 1996, ABC and Capital Cities' other assets were purchased by The Walt Disney Company.


Which is why Monday Night Football is now on ESPN instead of ABC.

I've never had a great appreciation for the face paint crowd. I appreciate them even less now.

Had I been invited to co-write the script, I woulda' paired the Shermanator up with Phoenix Jones and had them slap some sense into Jerramy Stevens before dining on Hope's clam chowder.

It might be just a rumor but I heard TE's don't eat clam chowder.
