Who knows? I'd like to see a transcript, and perhaps a picture of the alleged FIRST logo. I was too excited about FIRST things FIRST that I must have missed it!

You can hear it again around 6:00 here (though will soon be removed most likely). From what I gathered:

"In America we need to get things straight
Obama lets get these kids educated
create jobs so the country stays stimulated
This is dedicated to all the innovators"

If you actually look at the picture, doesnt it kinda look like he is wearing the hat underneath that top piece? he wore the hat to that side at kickoff and it loks to hhave tongue coming out on the side with the "logo" like the hat Dean gave him did.

Black Eyed Peas new song: "Where Is the GP?" instead of red question marks on a black background, its the FIRST logo.

Just sayin', I love everyone in FIRST, but sometimes our evil thoughts hijack our fingers (sometimes mouths) and we say things we regret. Everyone does it, so we must train ourselves to overlook the bad and walk by without a non-constructive comment. As if our grandmothers were watching

Ya! it almost looks lik ein the video they ere soft LED's under is cap.

I think I remember that during kickoff it was said that FIRST was one of the best kept secrets of the world. Look at FIRST, how big it is, and how unknown to the masses it is. I think that Will.i.am. did what he could do, and he really didn't have much of a say in it all. And if FIRST was well known, would it be like this? I don't think that the world will end just because Will.i.am. didn't mention FIRST. I think we should get back to building robots, not trying to analyze a halftime show.

As for the references to FIRST, someone mentioned the logo scrolling on his helmet. I have DVR and went back to the performance and watched closely. Right after the performance of "Where Is The Love?", Will.I.Am started singing "I had the time of my life..." and I saw, what looked like anyways, an interlocking white circle and blue square. I can't confirm if that is what was really there, but I ran it through 3 times and that is just what I saw. As for any other references, besides the changed lyrics and saying "First things first", I think were coincidences.

Agreed!! I think he did his best to mention a few things like FIRST is first. I didn't see the logo flash and I have a very large screen and was sitting in front. I doubt FIRST is paying him for anything.

I've poured through a bunch of videos, and it looks like it's just a reflection from all of the lighting. But I could be wrong.

In any case, I wasn't expecting much. He did the most he could without interrupting the halftime show.

Ya, three color flashes that are red, white, and blue that just happen to form pretty much the FIRST logo just HAPPEN to go across the head of the member of the BEP that came to kickoff at the exact same time?

Took this on my phone, quality is not that great :\

There were actually a few times he pointed to his hat, and I recall him telling us to "check it out" while putting his hand on the head piece. I thought that was pretty cool

Click for full size.

Looks pretty definitive to me.

He did do Dean's homework...Mention FIRST in everything that you can!! I caught that and thought it was awesome!!!

[JaneYoung]

If you think about it, he kicked it up a notch, using technology.

Well, moving away from the Half-Time Show, who is everyone cheering for? Packers I hope
