Seahawks Show Their Throwback Uniforms

 By John Turney 
The Seattle Seahawks joined the growing line of teams taking advantage of the elimination of the one-shell helmet policy and introduced a throwback uniform that is about perfect.


It's not of the original 1976-82 uniform, it has the logo on the sleeves like the 1983-2001 kits. However, the colors are from the 1990s. In the 1980s the blue was darker. So, these are really 1990s throwbacks to be a bit more technical.

Like the Bucs uniforms Nike only manufactured these, no role in designing them and they came out as good as the so-called Creamsicle unis they will wear in Tampa when they choose to go "throwback"

Score one for the good guys.


Here are some closeups of the collar:

    1. I agree. I don't know why they made that switch in 2002. Those unis were horrible.

    2. agreed…the current ones (even without the da-glo green) are a mess…what’s that grid on the helmets?

    3. These classic jerseys work well as the 3rd jersey.

      I don’t mind the Seahawks current jerseys. The current dark color Home jersey fits well with the 12s and makes them more intimidating to play against on the road instead of the classic jersey.

  2. am i intepreting the bottom picture incorrectly.....incorporating the Kingdome in the jersey is an inspired (small) feature, but is it going to be stitched on the INSIDE where nobody can see it?

    1. Yeah it is on the inside. Nike did something similar with the Rams jersey. I guess it is for the people who pat extra money for authentic gear and it makes it look interesting...but that's a guess. An Easter egg if you will...
