The Seahawks announced Monday that the team will be rebranding the Sea Gals as the Seahawks Dancers for the upcoming season, and that the team will now include men.
The Seahawks are the sixth NFL team to feature men on their squad.
Courtney Moore, director of the Seahawks Dancers, put out a statement:
"We are excited to unveil our new dance team for the 2019 season! For decades the Sea Gals have been an integral part of the Seahawks organization on and off the field. As we continually look to evolve our gameday entertainment, our dance program will now be known as "The Seahawks Dancers." We look forward to showcasing many different types of dance styles as the team hits the field this fall. We are excited for fans to see what we've been working on!"
The Sea Gals were originally formed in 1976.
