When Phish played in Washington earlier this summer, lead singer Trey Anastasio asked Seahawks fans to use the band’s play-and-response song, “Wilson,” in which concertgoers chant “WILLL-SSSSONN” after a thumping guitar double-E, as a rallying cry for Seattle’s new favorite son, quarterback Russell Wilson. That Trey was wearing a Wilson T-shirt jersey at the time only increased his credibility (though not with jersey snobs who frown upon said shirts).

In the team’s final preseason game, the fans honored Trey’s wishes, with a little accompaniment from the Seahawks PA team. Listen closely as the intro to “Wilson” is played when Russell Wilson takes the field, followed by fans chanting “WILSON!” in unison.

Let’s hope this becomes a fun tradition that Roger Goodell one day bans because heaven forbid football be fun.

Here’s Phish discussing Russell Wilson > Wilson during that July show at the Gorge Amphitheater.

And a run-of-the-mill live version of Seattle’s new favorite song.

We’ll truly know if this whole Phish/Seahawks thing catches on if fans spend their Saturdays traveling to local gem gardens to buy crystals with quarterback preservation properties or if home games see a noted increase in people scouring the parking lots for free tickets and grilled cheese.
