What began as a grassroots fan movement at Seattle Mariners games in 2023 has grown into something bigger than I imagined. I created inflatable tridents to bring fans together and spark joy in the stands…and they did exactly that!

But something unexpected happened. As thousands of tridents rose together, I realized I wasn't just creating fan gear — I had an opportunity to build a symbol that reminded people of something bigger: unity, balance, gratitude, and fun!!

The Mariners embraced the movement, featuring our tridents in their social media and marketing. Fans of all ages connected with the "Tridents Unite" rally cry, and we are all remembering that what works in sports — coming together, facing adversaries, finding courage and balance, while staying grateful — works everywhere.

I am actively working on expanding with new purpose-driven initiatives and cultivating a community of people who know the game is bigger than the score.

This is just the beginning.

In Joy & Gratitude,

Angela Allen, Founder & Creative Director
