‘What better way to celebrate’: Mariners fan traces trident pattern in sky above T-Mobile Park

A Seattle Mariners superfan, Jeremy Bellwood, expressed his love for the team in a unique way by flying his plane above downtown Seattle and tracing the Mariners’ trident into the sky.

The longtime season ticket holder and pilot for 13 years told “The Jake and Spike Show” how he used Google Earth to map out his route to create a Mariners trident above Seattle.

“I’ve actually seen other planes that have done these line art drawings using a single, continuous line,” Bellwood said. “I always thought it’d be cool to do something, but never really had an idea of what it was that I wanted to do, until the Mariners clinched the division and we were headed to the playoffs.”

Bellwood built the plane himself back in 2017, and after considering various Mariners logos, he landed on a trident to be traced directly above T-Mobile Park ahead of Game 3.

“I was looking through all the logos of the Mariners, and I was trying to play around with a big S with the compass in the middle, but that’d be too challenging,” Bellwood said. “I ended up on the Trident, which works great because Trident stuff has kind of been the motto of the season, and now with ‘Seize the Moment,’ I mean, what better way to celebrate the team and what they’ve done.”
