Hawks fan wears purple

Jeff Hansen's family has had Seahawks season tickets since the inaugural season. But in an act he thought almost traitorous until now -- this Sunday he'll wear the opposing team's colors to the game.

No, he didn't lose a bet -- he gained a heart.

Hansen is a heart transplant recipient, and recently learned his donor was a diehard Ravens fan. So he decided wearing a Ravens jersey and knit cap to the game would be a fitting tribute to his donor and his donor's family, and would raise awareness about the importance of registering as an organ donor.

(By the way, he said this would be unthinkable if his donor was a Raiders fan.)

So if you see him on Sunday, don't heckle too hard.
