Eight Things A Seattle Sports Fan Can Be Thankful For
...at least as far as sports-affiliated reusable shopping bags are concerned. Pro sports franchise shopping bags where everywhere on our trip to Chicago for the holidays, but we've never seen a Mariners or Seahawks shopping bag in this style in Seattle. Of course, that's the Chicago Way: when you're trying to direct the population you don't legislate, you just slap a Bears logo on the desired behavior.
However, on a more serious note, Chicago's home recycling program seems to be in shambles because people have no faith that their careful trash separation is maintained after their recycling and garbage is all picked up by the same truck. Another Chicago Way (read: racket): they have to purchase special blue garbage bags for recyclables. Maybe they could turn things around with a big Cubs "C" on the bags... Meanwhile in Seattle, our Sonics-branded gear is actually in the garbage.

Some group was handing out tons of free Mariners branded shopping bags downtown last year. Everyone in my office got one =)
Yeah, I got one of the mariners shopping bags at a game last year. I think Seattle City Light was the sponsor.
Ah, finally was able to log in.
Yep, [eco geek], we got 2 bags at an M's game this year, and have been proudly (LOL) sporting them whenever we shop for groceries.
i got a couple of seahawks grocery bags for a buck each at the walgreens.
maybe you're not seeing them because, with the sorry state of seattle sports, folks might expect their food to go bad if it were to touch one of these bags...
Meanwhile, thousands more Seattleites have purchased season tickets for the 2009 Sounders FC than the number of tickets even available for a Sonics game, but Seattle media of all shapes and sizes still spend more time complaining about basketball than talking about soccer. (Sounders season tickets sold are now over 19,000. Capacity for the Sonics in the Key was 17,000. (Obama packed in 21,000.)) Ahem.
Alright, clearly Seattle sports team reusable bags exist and have somehow escaped my notice. Let's say Chicago still leads in availability and widespread adoption of them, though.
