The Dolphins, Falcons, Panthers, Pats, and Titans could make small changes to their current sets. Every other team looks perfectly fine imo Agreed Miami and Rams and Denver throwbacks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never been too crazy about the Nike-fied look and I think after 8 years, it looks so much worse. It is time for a refresh. I also know this will probably not happen considering this is a Super Bowl winning uniform. Just remember, Tampa Bay went away with their Super Bowl set around 2014 (granted they obviously went back to them due to backlash of the alarm clock ones). Seattle's uniforms aren't going to stand the test of time, so I'm thinking that they'll change it up in the future. Hot take (maybe?): The Seahawk blue of the 2000's was amazing.

My favorite, obviously, was the original set (technically the second because the sleeve stripes gave way to the logo). But I really liked the 2000's set. I loved that blue as well.

We made so much fun of the NFL enforcing sock height and all that draconian stuff, but apparently they had the right idea all along, because football players left to their own devices will decide that it's very hip and fashion-forward to turn an undershirt into a darling little micro-miniskirt, or put socks on their arms. The Rams look stupid enough as intended. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is, though. Almost every team buys number inventory from their own source; I t’s not subsidized by the outfitter.

aawagner011 Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Since the previous Seahawks set came up, I think they did a great job of capturing the region. Whatever you call that shade of blue seemed to reflect the dreary and rainy city and I liked the super subtle touches of lime green. The regular navy trim did a good job to liven it up from the weird blue. And while it was monochrome, the navy socks definitely helped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except in practice on the uniform they were pretty indistinguishable and just added murkiness to an already drab set. No more dark colors, especially navy. Bring back royal! It's okay to have colors in football! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At one hundred dollars per number (no chance), you're saying they had thousands of numbers on hand? Uhhhhh......no. It's where I sit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 They stocked up on numbers in case of a pandemic just like people stocked up on toilet paper. The irony is that they’ve been wiping their asses with spare 2s for the past 6 months.

Uhhhhh......no. Thank you for typing this and saving me the effort. At most you would have a full roster's worth of spare numbers on hand which would still amount to a rounding error on an franchise's budget. I simply do not see the need to ruin your new on field look just to save a few bucks because too many old numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This color palette is superior to what they currently wear but the uniform itself needed some fixing. The most egregious items being the contrasting color sleeves and the tiny logo that was overshadowed by the reebok vector above it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chromatic Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Seattle's 2000s blue always kind of looked like denim to me. It made merch look particularly off too. Say what you want about the striping and design but I much prefer the current colour palette. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
