One of the saddest things about saying goodbye the Sonics is seeing remnants of the glory days and being reminded of the loss.
It’s kind of like hearing “Unchained Melodies” or “End of the Road” and thinking of that girl in 9th grade who cheated on you with some long-hair at a make out party. Totally.
Which brings us to this faded Sonics sticker, a plucky relic that lives on in a downtown Bremerton alley, like some kind of cave painting on the side of a French mountain.
If I’m not mistaken, I think this sticker came out the season after the ’95-’96 championship run.
If you notice, below, is a “Save Our Seahawks” sticker, another blast from the past. Unlike the Sonics, the Seahawks successfully blackmailed their way into a new stadium.
Huh. I am sorry I was too busy thinking about Seattle’s Rat City Rollergirls going to the WFTDA Nationals in Portland and how awesome it is going to be when they are national women’s rollderderby champs.
