This Kwakwaka'wakw Mask from Vancouver Island Might Be the Original Inspiration for the Seahawks Logo: "For years, stories surrounding the inspiration of the Seahawks logo have swirled. No one seemed to have a clear idea on where it originated from until recently," KOMO reports. New research conducted by the Burke Museum reveals the designers may have seen this mask in a book called Art of the Northwest Coast Indians. It's a "transformation mask depicting an eagle (in its closed form) with a human face inside." You lift the top of that beak and it opens up. According to the Burke, the mask has always been exhibited "in the open position, so its similarity to the Seahawks logo was concealed." Also, it's been sitting way the hell out in Maine. So now the Burke is trying to get the mask to Seattle, for an exhibit called Here & Now that opens in November. If you care about masks or Seahawks or exhibits or helping, here's the Kickstarter to bring the mask to town.
