The Seattle Seahawks held their victory parade in Seattle earlier today, and we had a 49ers fan drop in! I came across these two pictures on Twitter:

And we've got a close-up picture outside CenturyLink Field:

This is either the coolest, or stupidest thing a 49ers fan could do today. It might very well be both at once. Personally, if I lived in Seattle I would have stayed home or at work to avoid the parade, but I suppose this is a reasonable alternative.
Have you ever done anything like this? I've never wandered through a victory parade sporting the colors, but I've dealt with opposing fans at their stadium for games. When I went to the 2012 49ers-Patriots game at Foxboro, I sported some 49ers colors, including my red beanie. It resulted in some fans a few rows back throwing quarters at me in the first quarter. That was a fun time! When the 49ers jumped out to a big lead, they stopped and slunk away. I knew who it was, yelled a couple things, but otherwise enjoy the first half beating.
I'd imagine this guy will come out of this unscathed, but it's still funny to see.
