The Seattle Seahawks are a professional American football franchise in Seattle, Washington established as an expansion team in 1976. The Seahawks are members of the National Football Conference (NFC) West division, a part of the National Football League (NFL). Since 2002, the Seahawks have played their home games at CenturyLink Field, located south of downtown Seattle.
The Seahawks have won nine division titles and three conference championships in both the AFC and NFC, the only team to have done so. They have appeared in three Super Bowls. They won Super Bowl XLVIII defeating the Denver Broncos 43-8.
Note: Be aware that there are a host of manufacturer's variants of these and other fan flags being marketed for "Seahawks" fans. This includes garden flags, banners, and pennants.

The Legion of Boom flag refers to the performance of the defensive of the Seattle Seahawks. Since 2011, Seahawk backs and safeties have earned a reputation for consistently leading the NFL in numerous defensive categories. Their performance in Super Bowl XLVIII is considered their crowning achievement.

These popular Seahawk flags are for the extra "man" on the team, namely the fans themselves. It refers to how the Seahawk fans often create loud sounds or chants in hopes of distracting and confusing the opposing team. The Seahawks' fans have twice set the Guinness World Record for the loudest crowd noise at a sporting event. They are considered the 12th player on the eleven man field.
