For years, the mask that inspired Seattle's beloved NFL team logo sat thousands of miles away. At one point during renovation, it was even placed in storage.

Gretchen Faulkner, director of the University of Maine's Hudson Museum, liked to show it off, leading guests away from the main halls and pointing it out. She called it "the Seahawks mask."...

It's possible that if not for this Pats fan and her staff, the gorgeous work of art that launched the Seahawks logo many years ago might still be in Maine, unbeknownst to the football fans who now come to see it. Instead, two curators from rival regions worked together to complete a mask's journey home from, of all places, Arizona – where the Seattle Seahawks will meet the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLIX in Glendale on Feb. 1....

"There are certain teams in the league that can use better relations with Native people," Everson says. "I won't mention names."

Hmmm... Who might that be? The Vikings?



Why, that's ridiculous! That looks nothing like a seahorse!

3. I believe Mr. Everson was referring to the OTHER team from Washington.

You know, the city, not the state. Just sayin'.
