The NFL team other than the Hawks that you have been a fan

As a kid always rooted for the Hawks and then the Jacksonville Jaguars once they became a team. I thought they had cool colors, a cool logo and they had a really good team for a couple years. They'll always be my #2/AFC team.

I grew up in the Bay Area in the 80s and 90s so obviously I was watching the Niners. Jerry Rice even sent his kids to the same school that I went to and that was always a hoot when he came by to pick them up. But then as a teenager I found myself actually going to Raiders game in Oakland because they were cheaper and more accessible to me via BART. But then I moved up to Seattle when I was 19 and met my wife 4 years later and she had a profound influence on my rooting interests. I aint going anywhere and hopefully neither are the Hawks so there it is.

I dont get multiple team fans. Oh well."


Yeah, some of us pre-date the Seahawks.

For me, The 70's Rams of VInce Ferragamo, my favorite non-Seahawk QB ever.

Some of us are old enough to have been a football fan before the Seahawks were a team.

That is fair.

My aunt roots for hawks, sf and giants.

Sf cuz she had a crush on montana.

And giants as her dad played and won a bowl back in the day.

Back in the 80's I liked the Dolphins. Loved watching Marino and his quick release.

I was a big fan of the Ravens in the Ray Lewis era and loved watching that defense play. I also liked the Jaguars back in the Brunell days and even up until recently. But after living in Jacksonville for 5 years and being around their "fans" they are now a team I root against pretty much every week.

Bears, Sweetness

When I was a kid growing up in Da Bronx, my first sandlot team was coached by a former Ram db, so I became a Rams fan. This was in the days of Van Brocklin & Crazylegs Hirsch. (Yes, I'm that old.)

The when Frontiere took over the team, I couldn't stand her and became a Giants fan until Holmgren took over the 'Hawks and there was some interaction between my family and the 'Hawks, so I joined here and became a 'Hawks fan.

The rest is history. :irishdrinkers:

I grew up in So Cal and was a big time LA Rams fan. Then they moved to St. Louis. I moved to Seattle in 1996 and bought season tickets. Never looked back...(Kind of nice to see them back in LA but Seahawks come first)

Giants because my whole family are giants fans. Plus I’m a NY fan in all other sports.

The very title of this tread pretty much puts it in one of our other forums, doesn't it? This is the Seahawks forum, not the "other than the Seahawks" forum. We have one of those. It's called "NFL Nation".

I am a turncoat, I was a 9ers fan until the Yorks took over. When Eddie DeBartolo got into trouble with his Casino venture, his sister Denise took over the ownership. The rest? 7 head coaches in 18 years .... Our beloved owner just passed away and his sister may keep the team?? Jody seems to be a much more accomplished lady than Denise, so we probably won't suffer the same fate. All things started from the very top, ownership is of upmost importance to a team's success.

It was a general discussion of seahawks fans that were fans before the seahawks were an actual team and those that changed there allegiance. It was interesting to know where seahawks fans came from. God forbid we have any conversation in the main concerning seahawks fans without it being a pissing contest.

I liked Kansas City when I was younger because I was born in Kansas (fully Washington raised, however, I moved here before I turned 1). I also liked the Falcons and rooted for them against Ol' Horseface in Super Bowl XXXIII, Chris Chandler was their QB and he was a local. I'm not as much for them these days, though.

My most hated is easier.

Patriots, Cowboys, 49ers, Steelers, Panthers.

I was a Bronco's fan before moving to Seattle.

I lived in Hawaii for twenty years and we didn't have a professional team there. Many of us were fans of the Denver Bronco's in support of Pat Bowlen and his wife Annabelle. They were part-time residents during the off season and were involved with charity functions. Just super nice people.

That was during the John Elway years so it's great to see the success he's had after playing. I still keep track at times but less so after Manning retired.

I always loved the Packers when Farve was the QB. I think a lot of people did. Growing up he was just so fun to watch. When he moved on and Erin took over I started to sour on the team because I just didn't like Erin's attitude.

I also liked the Colts, but once again that was mainly because of Manning. I know a few who don't care for him but he always seemed like a genuinely good person to me and also the man was just a surgeon when it came to being a QB. Always fun to watch. Could care less about the Colts now.

Now a team, other than the 'Hawks, that I do like to genuinely follow still and watch are the Chiefs. Just always liked them. I was but a lad when KC and Seattle were still rivals but I never felt the vitriolic hatred for them as say the Raiders or the Broncos, then later for the 49ers and Rams.

I do enjoy watching the Chargers play but I think that's because I was born in San Diego. They'll always be the San Diego Chargers to me.

College is easier for me. Always loved Notre Dame.

Cowboys and Chargers pre Seahawks.
