The Seahawks supplied the city of Seattle with its first championship in a major professional sport for the first time in nearly 35 years, but Oklahoma City needed only a couple of days to put a damper on that celebration.
According to NewsOK.com, the Oklahoma-based Mustang Brewing Company decided to have some fun at Seattle's expense by posting a photo of a Seahawks T-shirt that reads "2015 NFC champions" below "Seahawks" lettering. Between the team logo and the "Seahawks," however, is green lettering that spells "Oklahoma City."
The brewing company also tweeted that "Maybe Oklahoma City should buy the Seahawks, too. -@mustangbrewing."
The reference is to the Seattle SuperSonics franchise relocating to Oklahoma City prior to the 2008-09 and becoming the NBA's Thunder, who are one of the best teams in the league this season.
While the T-shirt is sure to draw the ire of Seattle pro basketball fans, it really can do little else because NewsOK.com said the T-shirts aren't real. The Oklahoma City and 2015 NFC Champions insert were a product of photoshopping the image.
The shirts will not go on sale.
From @mustangbrewing: "20+ people have called FROM SEATTLE today wanting to buy that shirt. Even more from OKC. It was just a Photoshop image, folks! Sorry."
The brewing company may have put Oklahoma City in a bad light to the folks of Seattle, which already are having to watch Thunder forward Kevin Durant have an MVP-type year and look to lead the franchise to a world championship.
