It’s a Super Bowl rematch Thursday as the Seahawks head to Denver to take on the Broncos for the first game of the 2014 preseason.
But since the game is on Thursday and because it’s the preseason, should we be celebrating “Blue Friday Thursday?”
We celebrate Blue Friday throughout the regular season by donning our favorite Seahawks gear or the color blue. We even re-tweet your photos on @710ESPNSeattle with the hashtag #TGIBF (Thank God It’s Blue Friday.)
At least one Seahawks superfan is encouraging all 12s to wear their blue on Thursday.
Kenny Burns runs the Official Blue Friday Facebook page, and he said his group will definitely be celebrating Blue Thursday.
“We’re going to do it,” he said. “We’ll be posting Blue Thursday (photos) on that page.”
And be sure to tweet @710ESPNSeattle with your best Blue Thursday photos.
Meanwhile, fans camped out Wednesday in Seatac to cheer on the Seahawks as the team took off for the Mile High City.
Super fan Kenny Burns helped gather the 12’s for an official sendoff. About a dozen people showed up.
“We’re really pumped. Football is all year round to a majority of us 12’s,” he said.
Burns said his group, the Official Seahawkers Send Off, is committed to doing all it can to back the Seahawks.
“We’re going to be out here no matter what. Through preseason, through all the regular season games, through rain, snow whatever,” Burns says.
Coverage of Thursday’s pre-season matchup between the Seahawks and Broncos gets underway at 4 p.m. on KIRO Radio 97.3 FM and 710 ESPN Seattle ahead of the 6 p.m. kickoff.
