Alright, let’s talk about them Seattle sports logos, ya know, the pictures they put on the shirts and hats. I ain’t no expert, but I seen a few in my day, and some are just plain ugly, while others, well, they ain’t so bad.
Seattle Seahawks, them football fellas:
- First off, we got them Seahawks. I remember when they started, back in the day. Their first logo, it was a bird head, a blue and green one. Looked kinda mean, I guess, like it was ready to snatch a fish outta the water. Not the prettiest thing, but it was somethin’.
- Then they changed it up a bunch of times. I can’t keep track of all them birds. One time it looked like a regular bird, then it got all fancy and curvy. Now it’s… well, it’s still a bird, but it looks stronger, like it’s been liftin’ weights or somethin’. It’s got that blue and green color still, though. They like them colors, I guess. You can see them colors on their official website. I don’t go there much though; it’s for the young folk.
Seattle SuperSonics, them basketball boys, God rest their souls:
Them Sonics, now they had some logos. Too bad they ain’t around no more. It’s a crying shame, really. They were good boys, those Sonics.
- One time, their logo was a basketball with that Space Needle thingy stickin’ out of it. Looked kinda funny, like the ball was gonna poke ya. And they had an arrow, pointin’ somewhere, I dunno where. And some words, “Seattle SuperSonics.” Pretty straightforward, I guess.
- Then they just wrote the words, “Seattle SuperSonics,” with a basketball next to it. Simple, nothin’ fancy. I liked that one, easy to read.
- Later on, they got all colorful. A circle with green, yellow, and red, and the Space Needle again. But this time, the Space Needle was the letter “I” in “Sonics.” Clever, I guess, but too much goin’ on for my old eyes. You kids with your fancy computers might like this Wikipedia page about them; they got pictures and everything.
Seattle Mariners, them baseball players:
Them Mariners, they got a compass thingy for their logo. A star with pointy bits, like it’s showin’ ya the way. And they got the letter “S” for Seattle, I reckon. And they use blue and yellow, like the sky and the sun, maybe? I dunno. It’s been around for a while, that logo. They ain’t changed it much, which is good, I guess. Less confusion for folks like me.
Seattle Kraken, them hockey guys, the new kids on the block:
Now these Kraken fellas, they’re new around here. Their logo is a big ol’ “S” with a tentacle curlin’ around it. Looks kinda scary, like somethin’ from the deep sea. They use this dark blue color, almost black, and a light blue, like the water, maybe. It’s alright, I guess. Not as good as the old Sonics logo, but it’ll do. My grandson, he likes them Kraken. Says they’re tough. Kids these days, they like the tough stuff. You can find all their games and such on their website, if you’re interested.
Seattle Sounders FC, them soccer fellas:
And then there’s them Sounders, playin’ that soccer game. Their logo has got that Space Needle again! Seems like everyone in Seattle likes that Space Needle. And they got some words, “Seattle Sounders FC,” and a blue and green squiggle, I guess it’s supposed to be a wave or somethin’. They’re alright, always runnin’ around. My neighbor’s kid plays soccer; seems like fun.
So there ya have it, a bunch of Seattle sports logos. Some good, some bad, some just plain weird. But that’s what makes it interesting, I guess. Each one tells a story, even if I don’t always understand it. But hey, I’m just an old lady, what do I know?
