Per Seahawk Addicts. I thought this might be an April Fools joke, but they are even on the official site. I don't know about the rest of you, but I find these pretty hideous.


This color even looks less like the neon piping the jerseys have now, and more like the green that ridiculous soccer team wears.

Uni Watch mentioned this earlier and seemed to think that it was official.

I love the color. Looks great on both the ’Hawks and the Sounders.

'Bout time!

I missed my chance to buy one back when they had a special thing going on for them. I’m not gonna miss it this time around.

Weez the juice!!

Wow, I didn't think so many people were into them.

I guess they’re better than the “Hey, let’s jump on the black alternates” bandwagon, but still. A little garish for me. Someone like Burleson might look ok in one, but Mebane will look like a great big green fruit!

It's great to be a Florida Gator!

I don't know if I could cheer for them in those jerseys.

I would try, but my face would be trying eat my eyes.

My theory is that the people who think this looks good are red/green color blind.

I want to see them go back to using silver.

Their two different blues with silver could be used to make some real nice looking uniforms.

I need to buy one ASAP.

What should I get? Which player has the most long-term viability to stay on the team? Trufant? Mebane? Schmitt?

Ooh, I’ll get a Wallace.

It was an April fools, UNI Watch revealed today:

from www.uniwatchblog.com:

Uni Watch News Ticker: Yes, yesterday’s post was an April Fool. However, I have it on good authority, seriously, that the ’Hawks were seriously considering a neon green alternate two years ago. Didn’t happen, thankfully.

Thank god indeed

I'm relieved.

In other news, beat every person you see wearing one of those black jerseys. Black is not our color. It breaks up the crowd. Nothing like seeing a sea of blue, neon green, and white.

It's great to be a Florida Gator!

agreed

My first reaction whenever I see an all-black one is that it’s Raiders fan.

Of course, I’m guilty of wearing one of the off-color jerseys as well, so I’m probably due a beat-down. I have a gray one. But at least it has the blue sleeves, numbers, and green trim, so it still looks pretty “Seahawk” I know the silver/gray isn’t technically part of our official colors anymore, but I wish it were. Those look pretty cool, IMO.

Can't wait to get my Sanchez jersey

Right after I get my Wilson jersey.

They're in the Sale section of the Pro Shop

http://proshop.seahawks.com/ProductDetail.aspx?CategoryID=2583&Page=1,1&ViewAll=False,True&ProductID=37094

I guess they’ve been out for a year or two, like those all-black or the silver alternates the Pro Shop has sold. I saw a few people wearing them at games last year – they looked a little better in person, IMO (I think that applies to all our colors – they don’t seem to photograph well) But still, I couldn’t imagine seeing the whole team in them. That’d be eye-stabbingly garish.

That's the "April Fools" pic

But the ones in the Pro Shop are basically the same – except the numbers are blue instead of white.

Sorry the link I provided above didn’t work. If you go to the Pro Shop on seahawks.com and scan through the sale items, they should be there. They’re $60.

Maybe I’ll have better luck with this pic:
