Seattle Seahawks Logo Evolution: A Look Back at Anniversary Designs

Alright, let’s talk about them Seattle Seahawks anniversary logos, you know, the bird team from up there in Seattle. I ain’t no fancy expert or nothin’, but I can tell ya what I see and what I’ve heard ’round the way.

First off, they got that there bird head, right? Folks say it’s a hawk, some kinda osprey thing. Back in the old days, like way back when, they say the logo was a bit different. More blue and green, I reckon. Kinda like them old paint cans grandpa used to have in the shed. They changed it up a bit later on, made it look… well, I guess more modern, like them fancy cars they drive in the city.

Now, this switcheroo happened ’round the time they got themselves a new place to play, that Seahawks Stadium. They went and changed the name a few times, you know, like folks do when they sell things off to different companies. Qwest, CenturyLink, Lumen Field… Hard to keep track, I tell ya! But the important thing is, they got a new logo and some new get-ups – uniforms, they call ‘em – to match.

• First logo: That old blue and green bird head.
• Second logo: The newer, sharper-looking bird head they use now.

I heard tell there was some hullabaloo ’bout the first logo, back in the seventies. Don’t know all the details, but seems like folks got their feathers ruffled about somethin’. Then, years later, they found somethin’ out, somethin’ surprising. Wish I could tell ya more, but that’s all the gossip I got on that.

Now, about them Seahawks fans… they call ’em the “12s”, or somethin’ like that. Used to call ’em the “12th man”, like they was an extra player on the field. Them folks are loud and proud, lemme tell ya. You can hear ‘em hollerin’ all the way from… well, from a long ways away, that’s for sure. They wear all sorts of crazy getups, blue and green everywhere you look. They paint their faces, wave them flags, and make a whole lotta noise. Good for them, I say. Got to have somethin’ to cheer about, right?

It’s kind of funny, all these logos and names and whatnot. Seems like they change things up every now and then, just to keep folks on their toes. But one thing’s for sure, that bird head, no matter which version, means football to a whole lotta people. And them 12s, they stick by their team through thick and thin. Rain or shine, win or lose, they’re out there supportin’ their boys.

I ain’t much for watchin’ them games myself. Too much runnin’ around and bumpin’ into each other for my taste. But I can appreciate the spirit of it all. Folks gettin’ together, havin’ a good time, cheerin’ for somethin’ they believe in. That’s what matters, ain’t it? And them Seattle Seahawks anniversary logos, well, they’re just a part of that whole shebang. A little symbol, a little reminder of who they are and where they come from.

So, there you have it. That’s my two cents on them Seattle Seahawks anniversary logos. Not much, I know, but it’s the best I can do. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I got to go check on them chickens. Them critters are always gettin’ into somethin’ they shouldn’t.

To recap, this here’s what we talked about:

We talked about the old logo, the new logo, when they changed ‘em, a bit about the stadium and its name changes, the fans (them 12s), and some ruckus about the old logo back in the day. We kept it simple, just like how I like it. Don’t need no fancy words or complicated stuff. Just plain talk about plain things.

One more thing afore I go. I heard tell that these logos, they ain’t just slapped on the helmets and jerseys. They’re all over the place! You can find ’em on hats, shirts, coffee mugs, even them little bobblehead dolls. People like showin’ off their team pride, and them logos are a good way to do it. It’s like wearin’ a badge of honor, sayin’ “Hey, I’m with them Seahawks!” And that’s a powerful thing, let me tell ya. That’s what makes a team a team, and that’s what makes those logos more than just a picture. They stand for somethin’ bigger than themselves.
