Not in your head. When Pete Carroll came in, we changed from that kind of "gunmetal blue" to a more pure dark blue color. The old one always had a little trouble with color registration on some video systems, especially non-HD. That is why in the earlier broadcasts, some announcers called it "green" looking.fuego":1umd33sb said:KiwiHawk":1umd33sb said:I like uniform threads.

Since you like uniform threads, I'll ask you this.
I know you guys changed uniforms a few years back, a little different design, etc. Did you change your 'blue' color too? A little deeper or darker? It seems like you did and I liked the original 'blue' better, a little more gun steel blue. Or is that all in my head/eyes?

Since Pete came in? Didn't realize it had been that long.
I did like that other blue better though. That with the 'green' just looked awesome in my opinion. My favorite colors in the NFL. That green have a specific name?
We were discussing the old unis. Don't think those were nike, were they? Reebok?pmedic920":2fygcval said:Nike calls it "action green"
The Pantone matching system, or PMS # is 368
Blue = 298
Grey= 429

Definitely glad that the Hawks were the first team to get a Nike uniform makeover. Came in with a bang, but every other uniform that they've changed has been for the worse (never thought that TB could have a worse look than the 70s Creamsicle "Swishbuckler" unis - boy was I wrong about that!)HoustonHawk82":lorj85xi said:Hawkspur":lorj85xi said:I usually have to look extra hard to work out tell the difference between Clark's 55 and Avril's 56. Asides from that, it's all good. I prefer the classic straight-line number fonts like the old jersey numbers but they're better than the likes Bucs, Broncos, Eagles, Ravens and no doubt a few others.
I have to agree here.
The new font is a bit more difficult to discern at a fast glance.
I am thankful we are not the Buccaneers, as those oldschool digital numbers suck. I'm also thankful our helmets don't look like the Jags, mercy.
Very thankful.

Evidently so.... :roll:
