Seahawks painting end zones Action Green for Thursday night?

Sure looks like it:

Action Green Grass has to be 1000X better than action green jerseys

Anyone else getting sick of this color rush bologna like I am? The Hawks pull it off because they've used that nuclear reactor waste green before in games and in practice, but some of these other teams' jerseys just look gimmicky. Hell, they didn't let Zimmer coach the Vikings last week because they figured his eye hadn't healed enough to be subjected to that mad dog purple.

i'd much rather have "throwback" thursdays where the teams where their inaugural jerseys and colors

And helmets. College teams have new helmets practically every week. It should be pretty easy to determine if they have a higher rate of concussions.

Never understood the concussion thing with changing helmets. Helmets are sized much better then they were even ten years ago. Very nominal change at best. One could even switch the padding in the helmets, teams have plenty of equipment guys.

Me either. It's not like the NFL doesn't have a gazillion dollars worth of profits they could use. It's not like they can't say, "hey, I want this exact helmet, but with this color scheme painted on it."

There is zero reason for teams not to be able to maintain two different colors of exactly the same helmets for every player on the team.

The NCAA also has 1) the targeting rule and 2) no billion dollar lawsuit against them for said concussions.

The biggest reason is that some players still use helmets that are no longer in distribution. Thus, if you switched them out of a special helmet... and they got a concussion.. that happy little lawsuit comes back into play.

But really it all stems back to that lawsuit. That's why the NFL has the policies in place as they are. It definitely sucks because I would love to see every team have a ton of jersey/helmet options, especially with Nike in the fold, but not going to happen.

So...

"We can't make new helmets that would comply with all the safety standards our current helmets have, so we can't have throwback helmets in the league!"

"But some players still use old helmets that are no longer in distribution."

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

We'll see what happens when the last player with a grandfathered helmet finally retires. Of course it'll probably be some kicker that plays until he's 47.

So... The endzones...

Oh yeah, Action Green is awesome and don't get a concussion Thursday night in the end zone with a different helmet.

Can't wait to see all the Color Rush Jerseys!!!

Yeah, and this may be just me, but I'd like to see a whole lot more Color Rush covering that guy.

Can't wait to see the Rams go down. Please, for the love of God, beat the Rams! I don't care what they're wearing, just get this hurdle out the way

Yep, more BS marketing nonsense se from the NFL when what we really want to watch is football. The games look like college games from bottom tier schools with some of the Colorado rush uniforms ukeface:

Sell more jerseys, sell more boner pills, or trucks, beer, or whatever by colour blinding the fans to a game where the referees are now getting more play time than the actual football. The league should focus upon improving the officiating, or at least making the crews more consistent so there is equity game to game. BS is after simply BS.

The league has got to know that the public is starting to turn games off because there is so much rubbish being foisted on them in the guise of a pretence of 'getting it right', or to make a quick buck, the football is getting harder to watch.

We as fans of the Seahawks, a team publicly boned in XL or by Vinnie's helmet know BS or bad bologna when we see it. However, if they think you can make a buck by doing something other instead of showing us football it will happen unless we as fans reject this rubbish.

Awesome, love the green.

Absolutely pathetic color. Those end zones should NEVER be another color other than Blue. And they don't need the Toxic Avenger jerseys, let alone end zones. ukeface: ukeface: ukeface: ukeface:

Wait, they're painting grass...green?
