Seahawks Uniform Changes: Rumors and Intrigue

Sarcasm…yes.

I’ve never seen that annoying team wear the same uniform twice.

they’re distracting and border line illegal.

In exchange, the Rams and Vikings get to have real horns on their helmets.

then give every Hawks player a visor

you know it’s coming

they didn’t have blue numbers. Lime on white is not good. Had the numbers been the dark Seahawk blue I don’t think they’d be as bashed

Full-body kevlar could save a lot of lives on the football field.

Because we’re going to use our 1st-round pick on him. Also, we’re going to replace Bevell with this:

top notch stuff

Refs will still find a way to screw us.

Only it should reed “SEEHOKS”

The rest is awful, but that helmet is all kinds of awesome

But he’s a Liverpool fan…From Cleveland.

They are the best alternates ever worn in NFL history.

If only to serve as the impetus to have them immediately retired. We get it, there’s a soccer team that plays in the same stadium. Let them get their own fans. Are they going to start borrowing the 12th man flag for their games?

The blue is analogous in my mind to losing and depression, though.

By the way DK, Rumor Mill Monday could be kind of fun.

I hope you’re right.

So hopefully that plays into the final design.

Remember in the early 90’s when every team wore throwbacks? Joe Nash was the only player in the NFL that had actually worn that uniform, aside from Tampa Bay, which had only had the cremesicle uni.
Remembering runs by Sherman Smith, Cullen Bryant, David Hughes, Dan Doornink, John L., Chris Warren, and even Derrick Fenner, where they’d lower that silver helmet, and the Seahawk would look like it was about to dive at prey, then smash a defender was awesome. Curt Warner and Ricky Watters would glide through defenses, and seeing that helmet would be like watching a Seahawk glide through a mountain pass. Sam McCullum, the Steves (Largent and Raible), Paul Johns, Paul Skansi, Joey Galloway, and Brian Blades flying through the air to make a catch. Fredd Young, Jacob Green, Cortez Kennedy, and Kenny Easley, ESPECIALLY Kenny Easley, lowering that helmet like a raptor going in for the kill. That’s what I remember about the silver helmet.
I don’t want to see feathers on the uniform. Oregon’s look like ruffeld feathers, and no one’s scared of ruffled feathers (save for Sheldon Cooper). But at least feathers would be several steps above those nuclear cabbage/baby poop green uniforms from one of the least memorable seasons ever. I will admit that those jerseys were better than the pissburgh and Philadelphia throwbacks.
The changes that I’d like to see to the current uniforms would be minor: Larger Seahawk on the sleeves, and more color contrast. The gun metal blue’s too monotonous. But it’s easily the TOUGHEST color in the NFL.
By the way, someone at Microsoft is a Hawks fan. I didn’t capitalize the last “Seahawk”, and Word’s spell check said it should be capitalized. I also had to add “pissburgh” to the dictionary for obvious reasons.

Me neither, man.

The current one is a little too “let’s modernize the original.” the original was just fine. Now the Hawk has all kinds of ‘tude that I’m not really digging as much.

The old helmet was very unique, the best in the league.

Outside of the color. But, I’ve spent day upon days on dafont selecting fonts for different projects and photochops and what may look minor some looks like mountains to me.

And sometimes I can’t find the perfect font, and just resort to the paint tool (like the SEEHOKS up above).

Boldly going where no team has gone before.

Since the Reebok deal expiring/switch to Nike. And to piggy back on what was said, I doubt the marketing team has that much of an effect on how the players perform. I doubt players/coaches will have a whole lot of input on the whole process other than the occasional “do you like this?”

I would think they would leave it up to people with design/fashion degrees (granted that sometimes leads to some… flamboyant(?) designs).

I’d imagine it’ll be about the same time this year.

The Link to 12th Man Rising

I moved to WA state in the late nineties, and those uniforms are just full of tears and frustration for me.

I find that show so damn boring.

In my opinion anyway. The Bryan Cranston, Aaron Paul duo is the best thing to happen to TV in a long time.

I’ve only watched a few episodes, but it hasn’t hooked me and I’m not sure I want it to. I haven’t decided how much I want to invest in a show that will just depress me.

I’ll go work on one right now.
