Were those SEAHAWK championship hats? (1 Viewer)

Just thought it's kindof a funny. Even a bit ironic, should I say, considering how beloved we all know the Steelers are by Seattle fans. Couldnt help but laugh just a little at the sight of those 'Seahawk'-looking Superbowl championship hats. Kinda funny, and just curious of thoughts of Steelers fans and others. Congratulations, Steelers fans on the 6th ring and another great season.

My friend and I was saying the same thing to each other.Seahawks colors all the way. Odd choice by somebody.

Seahawks championship hat? I thought you had to actually win a championship to get a championship hat.

 

[CrossEyed]

Oh, and I definitely won't be buying that hat. And I wear hats quite a bit.

It's awful.

instead of shipping them to 3rd world countries, maybe the NFL decided to reuse them years later.

I guess we'll know for sure if the 2011 SB winner is sporting around hats in the Cardinals' color's

Those were the colors of the Super Bowl 43 logo.

Now I suppose you can say that the league planned and engineered it to have the Steelers win just to put this hat on them for a bit of fun, but I doubt it.

The Championship gear is usually the same color as the SB logo for that year. When the Packers won SB XXXI, I passed on buying any shirts or hats because of the purple and teal logo.

I may buy an AFC Champions hat though...

I get that, but the NFL doesn't get that fans want to wear their team's colors, not some other team's colors with their logo on it?I predict that ****'s will be selling these things for $5 in about a month because they can't get rid of them.

The hats will never be the winner's team color, because Reebok has to pre-buy the blanks from overseas months in advance. So they go with the same colors no matter who wins, and just slap a team logo on it.

That's also why you'll see them run out of certain teams. They have to forecast a number...and they'll middle it between what they think the best selling and worst selling teams will do, so they don't get stuck with a lot of blanks if a poor selling team does end up winning.

Just another example of the NFL's megalomania. What do you mean everybody doesn't want to watch OUR Network on Basic Cable, while wearing OUR Super Bowl colors. (Sorry, I just can't seem to let that go. )

I'm still trying to wrap my head around the words "Seahawk" and "Championship" in the same sentence..

That's fine, but why not go with colors that are completely neutral. Gray...black..white...and make the winning team's logo more prominent? I seriously can't see many Steeler fans buying those hats.

The last Niners' SB win ended up with a hat that was pretty close to the team colors. Hated the khaki though.

Not the same hat.

I agree. It's the same color as the Colts team color. Imagine how bad it would have looked with a Giants logo on it in a different shade of blue.

to avoid further confusion, the NFL should just switch to silver and black because no one would ever confuse the Raiders as SB champs
