In the Russell Wilson era, during the two seasons in which the Seahawks have gone to the Superbowl, the team went 4-0 in the pre-season each time.

By the way, this isn't about the 'pre-season stats don't matter' bullshit that some of you know-it-all types are just dieing to start chirping about. It's about superstition, and all professional athletes are superstitious.

I'm not at all. I am more into logic, reason, math, and science.

They went 2-2 in 2014.

Yep they were 4-0 in the 2009 preseason and then became one of the worst Hawks teams i have ever seen. Old aging talent EVERYWHERE with no hope for the future.

Actually very much so. Started in the 2010 Stanley cup playoffs. Rooting team's Jeresy/Shirt on game day.

Sometime it works, sometimes it is just shit

I have to admit that i do have a ritual i go through kind of. I have a Seahawks hat that i wear and if they lose i put it up and wear my Wilson Jersey the next week. If they lose again i put the hat back on. If they win i either wear the Jersey or hat the following week if that's what i wore when they won.

Most of the time i end up wearing the Hat. Just how it ends up being.

Sure, no rituals or anything too specific, but I have been known to have some minor quirks when it comes to watching my team play.

I wear something of the team I am rooting for - if possible. If I miss the beginning of the game and the team does well but starts to play poorly, I will turn it off for 10-15 minutes so they can turn it back around.

I think most fans wear "something" with their favorite team's logo on it when watching them play. That just goes with being a fan, wouldn't really label that as superstitious.
