Love the new uni’s. I hope the hawks step it up with nike and do what the ducks have done but with a continued northwest spin. It would be awesome to honor out troops in this state as joint base Lewis/Mchord have the highest casualty rate of all the bases in the USA in the war on terror. I would like to see a seahawks color camo look to honor them. I hope they really go for it as a northwest native and a huskie fan ive always been jelous of the ducks uni’s. WAY TO GO NIKE AND THE HAWKS!!!!!!!!

One final observation:

I’ve been critical of the new uniforms, but I think they’ll be all right.

After seeing a lot of the old-schoolers tout the benefits of their team’s awesome “we will never change” uniforms, I must ask….

…Where else in the world outside of the NFL is it considered “cool” to wear the same stuff you wore 30 years ago?

If you’re old enough, go into your storage closet and come up with what you were wearing 30 years ago: A Members Only jacket, team-colored Zubas, and LA Gear sneakers. Oh yeah, you wear that to the nightclub in 2012, you’ll be getting laid FOR SURE, right?

What people don’t understand about the NEON GREEN is that the Seattle area has neon green moss on some of its trees. It represents the area.

___________________________________
The neon green is representing their ties to the Sounders soccer club with which they are closely affiliated.

Just an FYI

I think they are really nice. I like the dark blue with white and/or gray color combos instead of that putrid monotone slate gray. The old uniforms were hellacious. These are a massive improvement.

If this a sign of where the whole league could potentially go with future uniform designs, I might just stop watching.

Before the change they had the worst uni’s in the league.

They still do.

Amazing–every time the Seahawks get new uniforms, they find a way to make them a little uglier.

Not a ‘hawks fan, but overall I like ‘em except for that neon green. (Mainly the gloves/shoes – the piping is less noticeable, and thus less hideous.)

Nice gloves … do they come with a matching hand bag?

Of course they’re going to be different … Nike wouldn’t sell as many if they were identical to the current ones … and “sales” is the name of the game.

The white pants might be a nice change … having a uniform where the pants were the same color as the home jersey was a little over the top.

so I guess the “V” created on the back of the helmet is supposed to represent wings and is replicated on the sleeves as well the little check pattern inside the numbers and down the pants?

clever, but seems a little TTH (trying too hard)…not as terrible as I actually expected them to be, but def a missed opportunity to upgrade…

(I was actually expecting feathers on the shoulders/helmets)

and I’ve always wanted to see grey alt unis for some teams, but this isn’t quite as dynamic as I expected…

It’s not 1960 anymore you old farts. This is the year 2000. They look fantastic, and I hope all the uniforms get an overhaul, especially the Browns, Packers and Steelers. So plain and boring.
________________

Those traditional uni’s have withstood the test of time. I think they would have a hard time. If its not broke don’t fix it.

Thank goodness they started with a team like the Seahawks, a team that has gone through different unis every decade.

Reguardless, its still more important about the team inside the unis than whats on the outside.

To the “cheaply made” crowd. Does everyone realize that NFL jerseys have been made of mesh since forever? What about a material that is full of holes screams out “expensive and high quality”? The new stuff is actually water repellant and provides a better fit to reduce what other players can grab on to.

The team colors are Blue and Green? I never understood the neon-green look, but I like the gloves.

These unis are a big improvement. And the grey alternates are tight!

As to all the HATERS, one look at what you’re wearing right now probably tells us you are not qualified to judge anything related to style.

Great news everyone! Instead of charging $80 for a replica jersey, Nike will now be charging $100 for a replica jersey!

We’re only a few hours into the Nike era, and I’m already offically sick of it.

The year 2000?
By the way…. ugly and tacky looking does not mean exciting and new.

Stop watching “Jersey Shore”

All these fashion critics are just halarious. Guess what, as a fan it is not up to any of us what the Unis look like. Nike and the NFL have a contract, so deal with it. The team and players seem to like them so hopefully it will be a morale boost.

Will you NOT cheer for your team if you do not like the Unis? No.
Will you bad mouth a player if he likes these? Probably, but what good will that do supporting your team?
Will small changes help in the positive? Hope so.

Have you ever seen a uniform have details dedicated to the fan base? NEVER! That is so cool.

Hawks fans should be honored by this. This is breaking new ground and the way things will change in the NFL. I like most of what I see. Haven’t seen all the teams up close yet. I just can’t wait for the season to start.

The blue looks good but that “Exorcist” puke green is really bad.
Just go back to the blue & silver and dump the Nickelodeon stuff.

Good looking jerseys, are good looking jerseys and if you like a player or team it might be to spend the money on one so be it.

Those things aren’t close to good looking though.

Who cares what in the heck the uni’s look like? What are you, a bunch of girls?

Glad they incorporated the lime green. The uni’s are pretty cool -gray. Now I’m going to have to re-do my entire wordrobe. LOL. Can’t wait to see what Nike puts out for us.
