True blue (and green) fans creating a memorabilia blitz

Think of it as a hunka burnin' Seahawks love.

At least that might be the point of the white satin Elvis jumpsuit available for sale on eBay. Made by an Ohio woman, it comes festooned with Seahawks logos, silver sequins and this promise: You will stand out at the Super Bowl!

Or how about a gray suede cowboy hat, a Seahawk emblazoned on the crown, with a royal-blue feather tucked in the band? The online ad — boasting vintage status and only one owner — was taken down after less than a day. Seller's remorse? We'll never know.

In the two-week run-up to Super Bowl XL, retailers big, small and nano have expanded the ways in which one can hawk the Hawks.

The Sports Authority sells NFL-licensed Seahawks items on its Web site (www.sportsauthority.com), including the Wincraft Seahawks snack helmet. Chips go in the snack bowl on top, the salsa in the removable faceguard dish.

For those hoping to integrate fan-dom and fine living, it also sells a Tiffany-inspired table lamp with the Seahawks logo cut into stained glass. Not only is it officially licensed — it's imported.

Don and Monette Roberts, of the Tri-Cities area, have spent somewhere north of $600 on Seahawks paraphernalia in the past month.

Don Roberts, 47, sporting a Hawaiian Seahawks shirt outside Qwest Field, chuckled when asked where the money went.

For starters? A Seahawks cheerleading outfit and yoga pants for their 3-year-old daughter, a leather jacket for himself, sweat suits for their three boys, apparel and jewelry for his wife and a couple of large car magnets.

"We go pretty big," he said.

At Seattle Shirt Co. downtown, all its customers seemed to buy big. NFC Conference Championship T-shirts were going so fast, the store re-ordered three times by Monday afternoon to keep up with demand.

Polar Graphics USA, selected by the Seahawks and Reebok to print official NFC Championship and Super Bowl garments, tried desperately to keep retailers stocked.

The Kent-based company printed 120,000 official garments before running out of T-shirts early Tuesday. They are waiting for a shipment of blank T-shirts from Denver, where fans weren't so lucky.

"I'm looking at orders coming in," said owner and Chief Executive Gordon Godfred. "I'm just blown away."

Of course, the Seahawks' first Super Bowl wouldn't be official without some 12th Fan (yup, not Man) Brew. Karlene Bostick of Bonney Lake, Pierce County, who runs her own custom-label coffee business, put the coffee up for sale on craigslist.com and eBay Monday.

This being Seattle, it's shade-grown.

One need not be local to get in on the action. Tom Pinnette, of Boston, had sold several hundred of his "12th Man" T-shirts online, including one to an address in Pennsylvania.

"I don't know what he's going to do with that," Pinnette said of the buyer. "That's a little nuts to be wearing that in Pennsylvania."

For the, um, unofficial paraphernalia:

Try a decommissioned Washington state DOT Seahawks Stadium Safeco Field Directional Sign, available on eBay. "This would make an excellent addition to any sports bar, rec room or sports fan home," the ad reads.

For those who prefer memories that don't fade in the wash, a Seahawks fan already booked an appointment at Under the Needle Tattoos after the Super Bowl. "Her words were when they win the Super Bowl," an employee there said.

In Akron, Ohio, Jeanne Nelson simply waits for Elvis to enter the bidding.

She put her Seahawks Elvis costume on eBay at 7:32 a.m. Monday. No bids had come by Tuesday evening.

Seattle fans had better get cracking, lest they be upstaged. "I sold my Pittsburgh [one] about a year ago," she said.
