What do the players think of the new Color Rush uniforms?

[Seanhawk]

They look like 80's wrestler versions of football uniforms.

In other words

I love them and wish we would wear them every game, all the time.

This is the best argument I've seen for these uniforms.

I love the green tops. I think a different color pants would be better although I'm not sure what you would go with. I'm weird but I like them.

Yeah, I'm not fond of the all-green uni. The green jersey with the regular blue pants would be fine.

They look good as fan jerseys. I saw a few on fans in LA, and hanging on racks inside stores, and I might have to get one.

They probably won't look good on TV though. It's going to be like Boise State in blue, against the blue field. Eyeball abuse!

you guys should watch the Madden game on youtube, it looks like a bunch of lemon and lime skittles dukin it out

After the Thursday night games can the teams wear the color rush pants with one of their other jerseys?

Or Eastern WA.

I have less issue with the green, than I do with the lack of a trim color on the pants. Look like pajamas.

I'm not a big fan of the action green in general and prefer the classic uniforms ala Penn St, however, I think there's enough contrast between the field and uni color that it shouldn't be an issue.

Vast improvement over the previous attempt at neon green. Still waiting patiently for an alternative jersey based on a retro look.

They look pretty good on those little guys modeling them. They're not going to be very flattering on the fatties in the trenches.

What were you expecting? They have the same blue "stripe" that the white and grey pants have.

Good thing our fatties arent very fat.

Ok then, the fatties in the stands.

I hated them at first, I think I'm still traumatized from the last time they attempted this.

But seeing them in that video, on Kam, Doug and Rawls.... they grew on me. I think they look pretty cool now.

I'm in.

 

[Seafan]

It really stands out in a crowd. I saw a guy wearing a Baldwin color rush on ESPN at the Husky game. Now my kids want them.

So, it's pretty easy (and fun!) to bash teh Hawks' color rush unis. Lime green, action green, rave green -- it's tough to pull off.

But hasn't pretty much the whole color rush phenomenon been an exercise in ghastly and garish? I made a half-assed try at finding an image with all of them, but from what I could see, they fall into two categories: 1) A not-too-far out sort of intensified version of the regular colors, or 2) Horrifying.

It's silly and weird and naked marketing and yet another sign of our league's mega-bloat. But I don't really think the Seahawks' version is much worse than any of the others.
