New Show Set In Portland, Oregon Shows Love to the ‘Sea Dogs’
'Backstrom,' a new show on Fox, stars Rainn Wilson and is about an off the cuff police detective in Portland, Oregon. Then why is he wearing a Portland Sea Dogs cap in their publicity photos on Facebook?
Turns out the producers of the show contacted the Sea Dogs back in 2013 about getting some ballcaps.
The reason they wanted those specific hats has a lot to do with the back story of the new show. Backstrom's family owns a fishing boat named The Sea Dog, and the producers were afraid they wouldn't have time to design a logo for the hat.
The show airs Thursday at 9 p.m. on Fox.
