The Seattle Seahawks have officially hit the Bay Area for Super Bowl LX, and they brought a message that’s turning heads before they’ve even taken a practice rep.
Seattle arrived Sunday evening in San Jose ahead of the Super Bowl matchup with the New England Patriots in nearby Santa Clara, where the game will be played at Levi’s Stadium. It’s the first time the Seahawks have been in a Super Bowl since 2015. The Seahawks are also favorited by 4.5 points.
But the first Seahawks news moment of Super Bowl week wasn’t a quote or a depth-chart bombshell; it was the wardrobe.
Several players stepped off the plane wearing white T-shirts that read: “We. Did. Not. Care.” – a viral callback to head coach Mike Macdonald after Seattle won the NFC title.
‘We. Did. Not. Care.’ is the Seahawks’ Super Bowl Week Motto
Seattle’s social posts from the arrival doubled as a tone-setter: loose, confident, and locked in. The team’s own coverage noted the Seahawks “touched down” in San Jose to kick off Super Bowl preparations.
The shirt slogan traces back to Macdonald’s now-famous response in the postgame celebration. In the middle of the confetti, his message was simple: “We did not care.”
And it wasn’t just a random fashion choice on the flight. AJ Barner was specifically spotted wearing one of the “We. Did. Not. Care.” shirts as the team traveled.
What It Means for Seahawks vs Patriots in Super Bowl LX
This game is already loaded with storyline juice: it’s a Super Bowl rematch with the Patriots, and it’s happening in the same region where Levi’s Stadium hosted a Super Bowl in 2016. It’s also loaded with NFC West intrigue. The Seahawks had to defeat the 49ers, the Rams and now get to play a Super Bowl in San Francisco’s stadium.
Now Seattle is leaning into the emotional edge, too, turning a coach’s off-the-cuff line into a weeklong rally cry.

Seahawks Depth Chart Check: Who’s Leading the Super Bowl Push?
If you’re looking for the cleanest snapshot of the Seahawks depth chart heading into the biggest game of the year, Seattle’s official depth chart lists Sam Darnold at quarterback, with Jaxon Smith-Njigba headlining the receiving group, while Kenneth Walker has made headlines recently for his incredible late-season play.
And if “Geno Smith” is popping up in your Seahawks roster 2026 questions, here’s the reality: Geno Smith was traded to the Las Vegas Raiders in 2025.
Quick hits fans are tracking: John Schneider, Jody Allen, Bill Gates, TreVeyon Henderson
There’s plenty swirling around Seattle beyond just the shirts.
- John Schneider has the roster built and in place for this run, while the front office and ownership picture remains a topic around the league.
- ESPN reported the franchise is expected to go up for sale after the Super Bowl, while the Paul Allen estate disputed that report.
- Jody Allen has previously said the team was not for sale (as of 2022), which is why this week’s reporting is drawing so much attention.
- As for Bill Gates: there’s chatter and fan speculation, but nothing credible indicating he’s purchasing the team.
- And yes, TreVeyon Henderson is a real Super Bowl LX name to know, New England’s rookie back has been part of their 2025 season story heading into the matchup with Seattle.
The Seahawks have a full week to talk. But by stepping off the plane in California wearing “We. Did. Not. Care.”, Seattle already made its point: this trip isn’t about the noise—it’s about finishing.
