So far, I've traveled to Paris, Berlin and Prague in the last few weeks, and have been rocking Seahawks gear almost the whole time. The reaction has been dramatic, unexpected, and awesome!
Everywhere I go, Europeans are stopping me in the street to fist bump, yelling "Go Hawks", and showing tons of love. Literally no less than 5-6 people per day, going out of their way to stop me and talk Hawks. One guy told me Russell Wilson is a celebrity in Turkey because he "looks Turkish". I've also met a few Niner and Cowboy fans, but they were American. Met one German Steelers fan who teased me about XL.
Without exception, the Seahawk fans here have all been European. A few Russians, a lot of Germans, a Brit and one Turkish guy! One guy told me he witnessed the Beast Quake (and his girlfriend hilariously eye rolled), another said he'd been to the Kingdome twice and the Turkish guy told me there's a whole crew of 12s holding it down in his home town in Turkey. They've all asked for photos with our flag and with the group of 12s I'm traveling with.
The bandwagon is strong here in Europe. Maybe it's the recent Superbowl, I dunno. But...
The Seahawks are the World's Team!!
