Seattle‘s presence was unmistakable at Super Bowl LX on Sunday in Santa Clara, where the Seahawks secured a commanding 29-13 victory over the New England Patriots. Among those cheering on the Seahawks were prominent figures from Seattle’s sports scene, including several members of the Mariners baseball team, highlighting deep local support for the city’s football franchise.
Comedian Adam Ray shared a memorable photo featuring himself with four Mariners players—Cal Raleigh, Bryan Woo, Josh Naylor, and George Kirby—capturing a moment of camaraderie and city pride inside Levi’s Stadium. Their combined presence symbolized a strong connection between Seattle’s pro teams during the championship event.
Josh Naylor’s Enthusiastic Embrace of Seattle and the Seahawks
Josh Naylor, a relatively new addition to the Mariners since joining last July, quickly demonstrated his strong affinity for Seattle. His commitment to supporting the Seahawks was evident as he went to great lengths to secure tickets for the Super Bowl, aiming to share the experience with teammates.
As reported by Adam Jude of The Seattle Times, Naylor described the opportunity as a “lifelong memory” and a “team-bonding opportunity” that symbolized his growing attachment to his adopted city. Wearing a No. 12 jersey to the game, Naylor visibly aligned himself with the enthusiastic fanbase known as The 12s, underscoring how quickly he had embraced Seattle’s football culture.
Teammates Unite to Celebrate Seattle’s Victory
Josh Naylor’s efforts to organize a Mariners group trip to the Super Bowl highlight the team’s collective enthusiasm for supporting their home city’s football heroes. The group included Cal Raleigh, known affectionately as “Big Dumper,” who has been active in local events, and Bryan Woo, an Oakland native with family ties to the Bay Area, adding a regional connection to the mix.
This gathering at the championship game brought together Mariners players to rally for their Seahawks, reflecting a shared pride that transcends their baseball roles and signifies a deeper cultural bond within Seattle’s sports community.
Looking Ahead: Mutual Support Between Mariners and Seahawks
While the Seahawks celebrated a significant victory in 2026, Josh Naylor expressed hope that this support would be reciprocated, envisioning a future where the Seahawks come out to back the Mariners if they reach the World Series. After enduring 49 years without a championship, Seattle sports fans are embracing a renewed sense of optimism, fueled by recent successes.
“And maybe when we’re in the World Series, they’re gonna come support us,”
Naylor said earlier in the season, signaling a hopeful spirit that both franchises are on the rise. The Seahawks’ triumph in the Super Bowl adds momentum to this vision, making it increasingly plausible that both teams could simultaneously inspire the city’s fervor in coming seasons.
