Local fans of football and public transit are not excited about the BART cars of the future, apparently. As some have pointed out, those blue and chartreuse seats are just a little too close to the colors used by the Seattle Seahawks, who left San Francisco stinging this past NFL season. Naturally, there is an internet petition to fix this.

From the Change.org page:

The Seattle Seahawks are the chief rivals of the San Francisco 49ers. To outfit BART car seats in the team colors of the Seattle Seahawks (i.e. neon green and blue) is an outrage and a slap in the face of every San Francisco 49ers fan who rides BART. We call upon BART General Manager Grace Crunican (who oddly enough worked as Director of the Seattle Department of Transportation prior to joining BART) to scrap plans to adorn BART car seats in neon green and blue and instead choose other colors.

As of this writing, the petition—which was started by a man from Stockton—had a little more than 1,200 signatures.
