Beloved Seahawks fan 'Mama Blue,' 92, passes away
Patti Hammond, best known as longtime Seahawks fan ‘Mama Blue,’ passed away Saturday night according to a post on her Facebook page. Hammond had been battling pancreatic cancer since 2020.
Mama Blue was a constant presence in the stands both at the Kingdome and what is now Lumen Field for over 45 years. Her trademark blue wig, sparkly glasses, feather boa and fake eyelashes made her the matriarch of Seahawks superfans.
Hammond and her husband were season ticket holders since the Seahawks inaugural season in 1976. She was later inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1999 for her fandom.
Mama Blue was such a vital part of the 12s that she became the first fan to raise the 12 Flag before a game. The Seahawks also gifted her a Super Bowl ring following their triumph in 2014.

Long time fixture in the South End Zone, super fan extraordinaire.
At least she got to see us win a Super Bowl.
