Seahawks have changed their Twitter photo to Baby Yoda in team gear

Around 5 pm on Monday, the Seattle Seahawks Twitter page initiated a challenge to their fans: retweet their post and the team will change their profile picture to Baby Yoda.

Needless to say, Seattle obliged.

🚨 BY POPULAR DEMAND, if this gets 33,333 RTs by 12:12pm tomorrow, we’ll change our profile picture to this. @DangeRussWilson@Bwagz@clownejd@TDLockett12@ccarson_32@DuaneBrown76@ShaquillG@mdcksn@KJ_WRIGHT34#ProBowlVote x #GoHawks pic.twitter.com/9fm6xyrLzD

For those of you out of the loop, Baby Yoda is currently a hugely popular meme. The character made his debut on November 12 in The Mandalorian, a release on the Disney+ video streaming platform. Because of his adorably portrayed persona, he has taken the internet by storm.

At 4:53 pm, Tuesday night, the Seahawks posted a tweet stating that if they got 33,333 retweets by 12:12 pm, they’d change their profile picture to an image of a Seahawk-geared Yoda.

When the game concluded, rather than a “normal” announcement of the scores, The Seahawks posted the win in style, with Baby Yoda once again.

THIS IS THE WAY…

To 10-2…

Needless to say, not only do the Hawks have the best team in the NFC West, but they’ve also got the best sports Twitter account in the world.
