If the Aggies want to try and push the issue, the 12th man trademark won't hold up in a court of law IMHO. I'm not a lawyer *shudder*, but I don't think you can trademark something that was being used by others.

Actually, it probably would. It is trademarked which is legal protection. The Seahawks can't use it any more than they can sell merchandise with the trademarked phrases, "Have it your way" or "Coke is it."
