  • It is the best logo tbf, not biased.

    I did actually know about the naming of the team, some old fella in a bar was telling me about it after going to a Sounders game. (His view was that the Sounders are more famous, I told him not many people in England knew much about MLS and he seemed quite shocked).

  • Good article, great look at what it’s like for a sports team to be active in their community and for the logo that represents them to come from that historical community, will be interesting if the nba ever puts a team back in Seattle what their logo/name would be? They’d do well to follow the seahawks and what they’ve done..

    Edit: wonder whether Seattle’s success with their logo is because they were an expansion team/newer addition so didn’t have the historical weight of a derogatory logo/name, so could go in any direction they wanted. Which resulted in them creating something quite specific and yet also something that is very respectful of the culture they are working from.. it feels like the WFT could take a note about this as well, as a way of remaking their logo name into something positive for the native peoples from whom they’ve taken so much
