Tuba Man [MP26]

Edward Scott McMichael was better known in Seattle as the Tuba Man. Anybody who attended a Mariners, Seahawks, or Sonics game during the 1990s and 2000s probably encountered his virtuosic tuba performances and big smile. Tragically, Tuba Man was killed in 2008, but thinking about him still brings joy to those who came across him. This pin memorializes McMichael and all proceeds will be donated to an organization that was close to his heart: The Seattle Youth Symphony Orchestra.

This pin has bright brass colored enamel that's hard to photograph but looks awesome in person! Like all of our original enamel designs, this one is laser-etched with a number on the back. In an update for this year, though: they're even more limited! We only made 25 of the ones with the black jacket and black hat and 50 of the ones with the navy blue jacket and light blue hat. It'll go great on your favorite fitted M's hat, your denim jacket, or backpack (among hundreds of other fine spots for a statement like this.) This 1.25" pin has one post and comes with a rubber catch, a collectable backing card, and a free sticker!
