Reinventing the cheesehead

January 11th, 2008 | Posted by PostmanR

So we got the divisional round of the playoffs this weekend, and according to most, it is the most exciting and thrilling of all the rounds. (Football: Ruff! Ruff! Grr! Grr!) And because of this, I’d like to direct your attention to this man to your right. You see, when he sculpted the Seahawk logo into that cheesehead there, it was not to mock the Packers. In fact, it turns out he likes both squads.

“I went to high school in the Milwaukee area, I went to college at UW-Eau Claire, and all the time growing up our family never had the financial means to go to a Packers game,” said Drentonoch.

The bad news is that 20 years ago, Darrell moved to Seattle.

“I became a Seahawks fan shortly after I got here, but my heart is still with the Packers,” claims Drentonoch.

Darrell is thrilled to be making his way to this Saturday’s playoff game, and he’s doing his best to honor his loyalty to Green Bay and Seattle by donning a very original hat.

“It’s a combination of a cheesehead and a Seahawk,” Drentonoch states.

“I thought it might be an appropriate way to show my support for both teams.”

Yeah it’s ugly. But I’ll take it any day over Laura Quinn’s hybrid jersey.
