- A few other things I like: I finally got an iPad and I know this is not a new or unknown thing, but geez I should have gotten a tablet many years ago! Maybe you don't like apple products, I'm sure the other versions are just as good or better depending on what you like, but it's funny how something that should be obvious kind of just slipped past me for so many years. Do you have something like that?

- I recommend getting your sodastream tanks from a local refiller instead of the $20-$25 versions that SodaStream sells. I get mine for $8-$10 from a place called FizzFill but I'm not sure what's in your area. Also, I recommend SodaStream if you like bubbly waters.

- Breville smart oven and air fryer, we use it every day

Here's an excellent post on how well Bobo did last year in his very limited exposures. When I think of how such rookie talent as this (and others) could explode onto the field this year, I am tempted to take a bet our Hawks get to the Super Bowl. Maybe even take MM as Coach of the Year, odds be damned. Yeah, guess this makes me a Fan.

The first thing I ever bought with a Seahawks logo... a t-shirt with good old #80 and the players name on it. RICE! lol. It was while I was still learning Seahawks history and before I knew Largent gave up the claim to the number so Rice could wear it.

I've got two old school items that I can't choose between because they both bring back the best parts of my early Seahawks memories.

Either a teriyaki menu signed by Cortez Kennedy that I got from him back when the Hawks practiced in Redmond and used to head to Toshi's after practices or the less personal but more visually appealing Steve Largent Wheaties box I kept from childhood.

First let me preface by saying I live in fort smith arkansas. Getting ready to paint my house...went down to sherman-williams 😉 and got authentic seahawks colored paint! In a sea of hogs whatever kind of red it is my gray blue and just a hint of rush green will stand loud and proud... will send some pics when I'm finished!

Cool! Yeppers Jason, not a lot of Seahawks fans here in Ark-in-saw ... but when one Does come across another fan, it's quite cool. Whooo, HAWKS ! Soar!

My Seahawks Championship cap which i was able to buy 'cause a Field Gulls commenter had a discount code. Whoohoo.

My white Richard Sherman jersey. Impressed with his play and the attitude that he brought when he became a starter, I decided this would be my first real jersey. 2012 training camp and the team store has nothing but Lynch, Thomas even Matt freakin Flynn but no Sherm jerseys. After a sunsoaked day at training camp, and failing to find my jersey online at NFLdotcom, I drunkenly FB messaged Sherman himself, something about they need to recognize and make these......and he responded! It was just a lol, thanks for the compliment kind of thing but I was stoked. Had to wait until October I think before I could order the custom Jersey. Fast forward to training camp 2013 I'm on the fence-line right up front and Shermans' brother (a guest at practice) walked right by us, paused and pointed "nice Jersey" I didn't know it was his brother at first but it was quickly revealed it was Branton Sherman. Love that jersey still....

I received a signed / framed photo of Marshawn beast quake as a gift, easily my most prized Seahawks item.

My favorite is my 8x10 photograph of the 12 flag. Atlanta won that night. Matt Ryan of course.

I had a plain Seahawks shirt from the 70s it fell off my back. Threadbare. May the 12s be with you and Go Seahawks!

I too love my Seahawks jerseys, but I’m scared to get another one. I first bought a Sherm one, then he left. Then I bought a Wilson one, then he left. See my issue? 😬

My favourite bit of merch overall, though, is my black Seahawks armed forces hoodie from a few seasons ago. I also love my LA Dodgers baseball cap ice cream bowl I got at the stadium (small things).

I also regret not buying a Wilson bobble head when I saw it when I visited the US back in 2019. Can’t remember why I just didn’t buy it at the time, but I didn’t see another one after that.

Speaking of merch Joe?…???????…

Oh, I also forgot my complete collection of first release Cars (the cartoon/movie) toy cars - all still on their packaging. They’re pretty cool.

Figure out who you want to leave, then buy that jersey!

I did that with ET. He was my third ever. I get the feeling.

For me is my signed although now faded Mack Strong old style jersey. Was my first ever Seahawks jersey as I couldn’t afford things like that as a kid watching Zorn, Largent, Etc. and as a kid my mom embroidered a plan sweatshirt with 70s helmet and we put 80 and 79 on the sleeves (Largent of course and “my man Jacob” Green).

The best name for a fullback since Bronko Nagurski!

I know! I mean just can’t make that kind of thing up. Perfect player for Alexander to run behind.

Should have posted that Bruno was just before my time getting into football. Seahawks opening season. Before that “The Snake” and Blitenkof. Fouts and Air Coryell.

Expand full comment

I just looked up Fouts. He was unexceptional for the first 5+ years of his career, until Coryell took over as SD coach in mid-season 1978. One of the most significant coach-QB pairings in NFL history, IMO.

Expand full comment

Yes definitely was. That was around the time I started watching the NFL just before the Hawks took over the NW.

as far as what I OWN, I guess the jersey for Alexander takes the cake, then a T shirt that proclaims

"Real Women love the Seahawks" (these from thrift stores, limited budget) plus covid masks made for me by a friend, with the Seahawks logos, both old and new [--

... what I really wanted, and never could find, the jersey for John Ursua, since he went to the same high school my stepson did, I waited for game after regular season game to watch him play; the other thing I've never found is game-type pants with the feather side stripe, do have leggings with Seahawks logo and sweatpants with Seattle's skyline -- I do my best to put on an outfit same colors as players wear for each game .. might as well wear a lucky charm

My prized seahawks possession is an autographed Warren Moon jersey....2nd era jersey which I love (second era and Warren moon)

Expand full comment

Mine is a helmet autographed by John Randall. I had won something else is a raffle and for some reason that didn’t happen. The Seahawks called and offered me an autographed helmet. I asked for Randle because he played college ball at Texas A&I (now Texas A&M-Kingsville) where my father was Library Director for 25 years.

Dirt cheap luchador Seahawks mask from Mexico. It is over my right shoulder in all meetings and is likely creapy to people at first glance.
