Wolf Gray Jerseys are no more.

I'm a fan of the green highlighter uniforms. I must be an anomaly.

Nope, I like them too.

My favorite uniforms are the current era. Second favorite are the retros (1980s-1990s).

My least favorites are the Glow Sticks. Second least favorite is the Holmgren/Hass Era Gun Metal Blues. Third least favorite the Wolfies.

We started off the same:

Current unis
1980-90’s

Least fav:
Worst: Weird combo with green and blue
2nd worst: (Homie gun metal)
3rd worst: Glow sticks

I like the wolf gray pants and current blue jerseys.

Nope, I like them too.

Same...Even have one or two.

So what you're saying is that the fans like the action-green uniforms more than the wolf-grey ones. In other words, in your view, the team is doing just what the fans want. And yet your comment appears to have a negative tone. Forgive me if I've misread that.

If you're right, and the Seahawks made that choice because they believe they can sell more action-green jerseys than wolf-grey jerseys, what's wrong with doing what more fans, especially more fans willing to buy jerseys, want them to do?

Yes, the more you spotlight a jersey, the more you can sell it. I think the action green has sold less than any other jersey out there that they’ve had by a wide margin.

Sand-knit mid 80s jerseys with the big mesh were awesome. I thought it actually was cool that you could see the equipment underneath the jersey.

They said it’s the top-selling color rush jersey in the NFL. Don’t know how it compares in sales overall, but I doubt they’d have kept it if sales were bad.

I read the 8/2 edition of the "mailbag" on the Seahawks' website, and it reminded me of this post. For anyone bummed about the wolf grey uni's, it might make you feel better to know (if you don't already) that the wolf grey pants are still an option.

I trust that you are just guessing, because I've seen a lot of them being worn on game-days around here.

LOVED those!!!

Hmm.. but yet baby fecal matter green survive...too bad.

Action Green is so terrible, it makes the Oregon Ducks' uniforms look good by comparison.

Now now, let's not go that far.

Some like the green, some don't. That's the extent of it.

The colors for the current home uniforms are college blue, wolf grey and action green. I love the college blue, I like the action green but I definitely prefer the wolf grey to the green. IMO, if your goal is to only have two home uniform versions then they should be the primary colors. The action green is more of an accent color than a primary color. So college blue should be the main home uniform version and wolf grey should be the alternate version. White, as always, is for away games.

Can’t we all just get along?

I can move this to the shack, or y’all can chill out.

Wolf Grey is out? When did that happen?

Damn, I was hoping that he would make the cut.

OK, so I LIKE the Action Green, human highlighter uniforms. At least I can tell which team is which. Unlike that lame-ass soccer bullshit where the teams have several wildly different alternate unis and it takes 5 minutes to figure out which one is the team I'm rooting for. Wait, wasn't Colombia supposed to be YELLOW? And Spain should be RED?

It's like the opposite of the Joe Paterno football. Wasn't there a time when Penn State didn't get ranked as high and players didn't win awards because their plain uniforms (and black shoes) made them look slow? JSN will look faster in a couple nationally televised games in Action Green and win rookie of the year when the voters realize, "I had no idea JSN was so fast!"

So score one for the Action Green. Besides, practicality, I like to go running at night, and if I'm wearing an Action Green Seahawks jersey, motorists see me and I'm less likely to get hit. Except by 49er fans, of course.

When they added the throwbacks.
