The team’s fresh logo and colours have drawn positive reviews so far, and after a closer examination of the team’s secondary logo, fans have found another Seattle reference in the team’s branding.

The secondary logo, which features an anchor, also has Seattle’s iconic Space Needle incorporated into the design.

 

 

This is awesome 👀🏙
