The Tennessee Titans are introducing the “12th Titan” fan initiative this season as a way to recognize the incredible fan base that supports the Titans at LP Field. There are 11 players for each team on a football field, but when Tennessee plays at home, they add a 12th player, the Titan fans. The program will debut at the Titans regular season opener against Oakland on September 12th with “Titans Code Blue,” when all fans are encouraged to wear Titans light blue to the game.

The 12th Titan program will incorporate a number of elements that will be seen on a weekly basis. A flag pole will be added to the south end zone plaza and a 12th Titan flag will be raised just prior to kickoff each week by an honorary 12th Titan representing all 69,143 fans at the game. The honoree will have some Tennessee roots and could be a celebrity, civic leader, community hero, a fan or a former Titans player.

I wonder if Texas A&M is going to sue them?

I guess it's true, "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery" seems as we get relevant and more exactly feared and good this will be expected and par for the course as they say.

It wouldn't surprise me if every team eventually institutes something like this.

 

[hawker84]

A & M is gonna get paid, when all the new royalties start coming in...LOL

12thTitan probably saves them from a lawsuit. 12th Man is the trademark I thought.

 

[Stephen SeaHawking]

Alright, I'm going to go ahead and copyright 12th Niner, 12th Ram, 12th Cardinal, 12th Packer, etc.

Come to the CLink and see how its done kiddies

Since they rarely have 11 players showing up at the same time maybe they should have called it the 11th Titan........

 

[SouthSoundHawk]

These fans have to know they're going to get mocked and made fun of...right?

 

[Subzero717]

The 12th Titan is nothing new. Problem is it/they suck. They hardly get anyone to the Stadium.

dont they have a lot of former seattle FO people?

correction, a lot of former seattle FO people who lack originality and imagination?

I sort of feel bad for titans fans, I realize people say we ripped of A&M but thats in a completely different league and who even know about their thing before we used it? But titans fans will always feel like its sort of cheap, like if we introduced our version of terrible towels or something.

I always thought terrible towels were actually used hankies they were air drying while slinging snot at the same time.

I blame Matt Hasselbeck

 

[jkitsune]

LOL, a flag too? Nicely done boys. Who thought that one up?

I enjoy that they have to "encourage" fans to wear Titan blue to the games. "C'mon guys. Buy our merchandise. Please?"

Its not like the Seahawks invented it. Both the Bills and the Colts have their "12th man" honored in their Ring of Honors.

Packers, Broncos, Redskins and Bears have also referred to their fan bases as the 12th man at various points.

Texas A&M started calling their crowd the 12th man in 1921.

 

[Scottemojo]

Bullshit. The didn't learn to count that high in Texas until at least the 70's

We get it. You don't believe in the 12th man! No need to try and diminish our status.
