<Title Change!> Bitcoin WILL/could be represented at SB XLVIII (2014), if...!

[MakeBelieve]

I don't normally watch the super bowl but I will make sure I do now.

I don't normally watch the super bowl but I will make sure I do now.

I've watched half of two Super Bowls think. The half time show is way too long though, I end up falling asleep.

This year I'll keep a keen eye out for Bitcoin banners

[Sutters Mill]

Man this would be amazing! I'm in the UK, when does the superbowl start?

Lol, the Super Bowl is on the 2nd February.

Cheers troll

I put this together tonight to raise money for Sean's Outpost, and, of course, as a shameless plug for my consulting biz site I'm bootstrapping.

Please spread the link or use those QR codes in a similar fashion to what 1HiMom did if you lucky enough to be going to the Super Bowl.

The "Bronco18" was completely random.. I tried to make a "Hawks25" but it was taking waaay too long

Second $50 USD via BTC is now in place: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=426851.0

Also, seeking a banner maker.

[Phinnaeus Gage]

The banner is just about complete, going through a couple minor tweaks now, and it's AWESOME!

Currently seeking a Bitcoiner that's planning on attending the Super Bowl.

OVERSTOCK

Snoop, lounging in his plush all-white abode, fields requests from his family in this spot promoting Overstock's Snoopermarket. His track "The Good Good" adds an easy, jaunty feel to the scene.

Anybody have any bets on whether or not Bitcoin will be mentioned at least once in an ad during the 2014 Super Bowl?

~TMIBTCITW

Now that would be something. Bitcoin is bound to creep into this year's Superbowl in some form. If not official then I'm sure that there will be some guerrilla marketing going down.

I saw an Overstock commercial today that had Bitcoin accepted here (or something similar, can't remember) at the end. It wasn't very big, but it was definitely noticeable. Can't find the image/video online though...

Edit: Now I find it...

Nice find, bud!

Just realized that the Google tiny URL on the banner design is case sensitive. It should be: http://goo.gl/QyGh8p

I just figured out why Richard Sherman's shopping site doesn't have Bitcoin anywhere on it's pages: http://store.richardsherman25.com/

It's because you have to go through the checkout process first: https://checkout.shopify.com/carts/2592151/4a8fcfd85b0c205fdfb42f2047f4ad68

Ergo, any professional sports entity that used Shopify to build their eCommerce store automatically accepts bitcoins as of November 27, 2013. Richard Sherman just happened to be the first one as a Bitcoiner to announce, even though some other sports notable could be using Shopify longer than he. Genius!

Our new Bitcoin integration is available through BitPay and can be used alongside other payment services, like Shopify Payments and PayPal.

Ergo II: You want to purchase official Seattle Seahawks merchandise, head on over to one of the hundreds of shops hawking (pun intended, for I almost used selling) such that use Shopify for their eCommerce solution, like http://gamedaytreasures.com/collections/seattle-seahawks-display-cases.

I'm in the process of editing in the correct image below on various posts due to the tiny URL not working properly because it's case sensitive.

I think that'd be awesome if they could get an ad for the Super Bowl. But think of the costs! It's so much for such a small amount of time but with that many people watching, it will be HUGE. I think they should go for it(if they still can), it's a gamble but will really get the name out there!   

[CoinDiver]

How about one of those clever signs that says FOX (it's on FOX this year, right?) but the letters are part of some bitcoin message?
 
     Future
bitcOin
    eXplosion

Of course, something that makes any sort of sense.

This has been beat to the ground since prior to last year's Super Bowl, hence going the route I'm taking via guerilla marketing.

I haven't forgotten about the FOX condition, and it WILL be incorporated into the physical banner alongside the image above (a couple posts).

Meanwhile, I just tweeted Richard Sherman the following: https://twitter.com/Bitcoin100/status/426828654870421504

Not so much seeking his approval, but to get his fan base excited about the prospects, with possibly bringing further awareness to Bitcoin.

Important update: I will have the banner produced locally, thus now only need a person who's planning on attending the Super Bowl to wave the damn thing like they have a hoard of locusts in their underwear. Surely, one of the 81K seats is going to be occupied by at least one Bitcoiner. Which one of you guys or gals is it?
