Independent, and paid by links.

Who runs it

12th Gear is run by Kyle Alm, who is responsible for everything published here: a guide for every game, the previews, recaps and Tuesday notebook, the injury report, roster and odds pages, and the jersey, hat and ticket guides.

The facts come from primary sources, linked on each page: the team’s own announcements and injury reports, the league’s reports, and ESPN’s game data for scores and statistics. When something here is wrong, it gets fixed and the change is noted on the page. No team staff, no league office, no press credential: when the team says something, we link to the team and let them say it.

The site name is set in type. There is no logo here that belongs to anyone else.

How the money works

• Amazon — Amazon Associates. As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases.
• Fanatics — Approved through the Impact network. Tracking is not switched on yet, so Fanatics links earn nothing today.
• TickPick — Application pending. TickPick links earn nothing today.
• Everyone else — NFL Shop, Seahawks Pro Shop, Dick's Sporting Goods, Lids, Vivid Seats, StubHub, Ticketmaster, Gametime, Fubo, Sling TV, SpotHero, Booking.com: no affiliate relationship, so no commission. We link to them because they carry what the page is about.

Status as of October 20, 2026. Full details on the affiliate disclosure.

A commission never changes your price and never changes the verdict. When a game is a bad buy, we say it is a bad buy.

What we will not do

• ✕ Use official Seahawks logos, NFL marks, or a lookalike wordmark.
• ✕ Call ourselves an official anything, or an official marketplace.
• ✕ Run a checkout or hold inventory. Every product link leaves this site.
• ✕ Sell you a ticket ourselves. Every ticket link leaves this site too.
• ✕ Claim “12th Man” as something we own. We write 12s.

Privacy and help

We collect no email addresses and run no sign-up of any kind. Page counts come from Cloudflare’s web analytics, which sets no cookies. A store you click through to may set its own cookie to credit a sale; the affiliate disclosure explains how.

The same address is on the contact page, which is linked from the footer of every page.
