Perfection

 

[SeAhAwKeR4life]

Good, they did go with the sleeve birds!

design team killed it

 

[KinesProf]

Close to perfection. The current uniform template doesn't allow for the collar striping to go all the way around, so not their fault; and the number font is a tad different than before - but they still look great.

Really impressed that they managed to pull off the sleeve hawk so well given the cut of modern jerseys.

Bravo!!!

These are jizz in my pants wonderful!

Now..

How and when do I buy the "elite" or "pro" (or whatever they are called) version of 54??? All I see is the cheap $125 version available.

I am really happy to see the new / old school uniforms. The original Seahawks logo "rings true" to me. The Pacific Northwest is rich with Native American history and culture. The old logo is a tribute to our past...I really prefer it!

Love the old colors and the silver helmet. I just wish they had kept the angry hawk instead of Toucan Sam. Never cared for the old bird on the helmet. I always thought it looked whimpy. I know it’s based on totem pole design but the angry bird is so much better and BAD ASS.

Bought my college kiddo the Woolen throwback today so he can represent it in the upper peninsula of Michigan at Michigan Tech (where I’m from; he was born and raised in seattle) -

I’m the opposite. As much as I like the modern logo, the old Salish inspired logo rings more authentic. I’m glad we’ve got one jersey from or us fans of the OG Hawk.

Exactly this. The original Seahawks logo paid earnest respect to the Native American culture in the PNW. It is a lesson in the RIGHT way to incorporate said culture vs the team from the other Washington.

 

[Seahwkgal]

I well aware of the Native American heritage of Seattle but I have always thought the totem pole toucan Sam look of the original hawk looked whimpy and not menacing like a bird of prey should. The new bird is menacing and bad ass looking. IN MY OPINION it should have stayed with the awesome old colors. That would be my dream Seahawk uniform. IN MY OPINION.

Does anyone know if they can wear them in the play offs/super bowl? Fast becoming my favorite jersey and I think the hawks should wear them full time.

I don’t know for a fact but I don’t recall any team ever wearing anything other than standard home/away combos for the post season

The rule was changed this season. Teams are now allowed to wear throwbacks in the playoffs, but not the Super Bowl.

Just came to post an article I found on this.

NFL updates uniform policy, allows teams to wear throwback or alternate jerseys more than ever before

Get used to seeing the Eagles' Kelly Green and the Bucs' creamsicles more often

Per this article, it looks like only alternate pants are allowed in the playoffs.

How is the other Washington team
Not RIGHT?

The logo on the helmet is not a character but an actual chief and the artwork was by a native American.

The Washington Redskins logo, which featured the side profile of Blackfeet Chief John Two Guns White Calf, was designed in the early 1970s by Walter Blackie Wetzel, a former chair of the Blackfeet Tribe.

That's a fair point. I only know it's rubbed a lot of people the wring way for a long time. I'll go a step further and I don't think they meant the Redskins name as a slur in its time. But it is a slur now.

But someone would need to have a pretty long and girthy stick up the rear to get bent out of shape at the original Seahawks logo.

All good points.
