Seattle Seahawks Mascot Named "Most Forgettable in the NFL"

Hey, listen up, fellow 12s! So, I just heard something that's got me feeling a mix of disbelief and pure, unadulterated outrage. Apparently, according to some study by Sporcle, our very own Blitz, yes the Seahawks mascot, has been crowned the most forgettable in the entire NFL. Can you believe that?

I mean, sure, maybe Blitz doesn't have the flashy moves of some other mascots or the big national recognition, but most forgettable? Not a chance! For die-hard Seahawks fans like me, Blitz is practically family. He's been there, rain or shine, pumping up the crowd, leading the cheers, and showing off that unmistakable Seahawks spirit. Plus his interactions with kids and crowds at games are second to none. I personally think it has more to do with the location of Seattle (always forgotten is the sports world) and less to do with Blitz himself.

Blitz: Seahawks Mascot Since 1998

Remember when Blitz first spread his wings back in '98 at the Kingdome? Man, that was a cool moment in Seahawks history! And yeah, he's had a few tweaks over the years to make him more kid-friendly or match the team's logo better, but that's just evolution, right? He's still the same Blitz we know and love. And let's not forget about Boom, his "son" and trusty sidekick. Those two make an unbeatable duo at Seahawks games, bringing double the energy and double the fun to every game.

But it's not just about what happens on the field. Blitz is out there in the community, too, spreading positivity and making a difference. From the "Ready, Set, Goals!" reading program to charity events and even big-time games like the Super Bowl, Blitz is always there, representing our team with pride.

So, yeah, maybe some folks out there don't recognize Blitz as much as they should. But for us Seahawks fans, he's anything but forgettable. He's a symbol of our team, our city, and everything we stand for. So here's to you, Blitz, the most unforgettable mascot in our hearts, no matter what some sports writer across the country says. Go Seahawks!

LOOK: The story behind every NFL team name

Stacker delved into the story behind every NFL football team name. Overall team records, also included, are reflective of NFL regular-season games. There are some football teams with well-known nicknames—the Jets, for instance, are often referred to as Gang Green—but we also divulge how some teams’ official names are sparingly used (the Jets’ neighbors, the Giants, are actually known as the New York Football Giants). Sometimes a team name can tell you a lot about local history: The Vikings of Minnesota draw upon the area’s strong ties to Scandinavia, and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are dripping in local legend related to Florida’s pirate past.

Let’s kick off the countdown with the folks who earned their nickname by buying boxes of used team jerseys.
