Seattle Kings Mini Helmet

Team Info

The Seattle Kings were pro football team proposed in 1972 and were set to play in the appropriately named Kingdome. The ownership group with vice president Hugh McIlhenny went as far as to design helmets, form a booster club, and set up an office with a giant football on the roof. Ironically, the football ended up burning down as did the dreams of football in Seattle when the group ran out of money. In 1974, few years later another group would bring the Seahawks to town.

Team: Seattle Kings
Years Active: Never played (proposed 1972 NFL expansion bid)
Home: Kingdome (proposed) — Seattle, WA

The Kings were a proposed NFL franchise in 1972, fronted by Hall of Fame running back Hugh McElhenny and intended to play at the planned Kingdome, the stadium that gave the team its name. The group went as far as designing helmets, forming a booster club, and opening a downtown office topped by a giant football.

The booster-club football caught fire, and the Kings' funding ran out before the bid could be completed. The NFL instead awarded Seattle's 1976 expansion franchise to a separate ownership group, the Seahawks, who played their first three decades in the Kingdome originally envisioned for the Kings.
