Dumb Question about the Seahawks

I'm not a football fan, but I am a Seattle fan.

I just realized that the Seahawks logo has a lot of influence of Northwest Native American Art.

Just wondering if anyone knows if that's deliberate or coincidental.

This will be my only football related post on DU during Super Bowl madness.

As it happens, I was working at NFL Properties just after the logo was designed, and knew the designer. I thought it was the best NFL logo at the time. Since then, there have been others, notably the Broncos, that are excellent.
