I also just feel like Seattle having dark colors works better than bright blue. I agree with you on that to an extent. However, I’d rather Seattle have a grey/silver helmet, wear grey/silver pants full time, more traditional striping, and bump up the shade of blue just a tad.

heavybass Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 This guy looks and types like corporate NFL stooge... if he had sense then he wouldn't justify the crappy Seattle colours and go back to the classic look. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know opinions exist and all but this is their best Uniform combination! The monochrome Navy just doesn't work imo, and many would agree with that. ANY Football Uniform where the Jersey, Pants, and Socks are all the same color just never works. Having the same color helmet makes it even worse. I mean, the Gray pants just look so good! It's literally Nikespeak, lol. I like monochrome nfl uniforms. The problem with the blue-gray is that the pants don't have any green and it throws off the color balance. Maybe if the feather markings were green it'd work. Plus I'm not a fan of when the jersey and helmet are the same color and the pants are different generally speaking. 4 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like this is football, this is about cloths. I just have the opinion I'd rather have football uniforms look fun and silly than so generic and utilitarian. I don't mind simple unis I put that the Saints were my favorite currently but I don't think every team should go simple or classic. And like I said the Seahawks were always inspired by Native American art with their logo 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PERRIN Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 I don't dislike Seattle's uniforms and I agree that considering how much is going on it looks pretty good, but there's plenty of uniforms that work far better to the point where they instantly fall to the bottom half of the league through no fault of their own. They have some smart ties to Pacific Northwest native art but it's a bit too overbearingly modern for my taste. I flipflop between liking them and disliking them all the time, they're so close to the line that it's difficult for me to make up my mind about them. I still vastly prefer the royal green and silver look they had before the 2000s, but I prefer the current look to the gunmetal blue era. Toning down the current set with tweaked colors and fewer elements would vastly improve the set. 8 Perrin Grubb | Aspiring Designer | NAFA Project ~ NFL Redesigns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The design of the bone white uniforms was bad overall and again bone white is basically just dirty white. If you made the current white jerseys "bone" white 99 percent of people would not notice. Gray is actually different from normal white. Honestly I wouldn't mind the NFL being more like soccer and doing away with white uniforms and just having an alternate color uniform for when teams use the same color Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll give them that and I prefer it to white. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here’s a quick mock-up I just don't think these colors go well and the bright blue doesn't work for a state like Washington. Washington is not a sunny place like Florida so bright colors don't fit well. Maybe the green with a dark blue would look better. Also don't like how the stripes overlap the bird head and make it hard to read. Plus the gray pants don't match the silver helmet. Ironically the newer uniforms are more traditional in the sense they stick to 3 color pallet unlike here which uses four colors (silver/gray, blue, green, white). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they do all Navy, it's just a blob. This goes for every football team. Jersey/Pants/Socks should never match. The grey pants need some green for color balance, they look a little too plain without it (same goes for the white ones). I will say the navy over grey looks good from zoomed out camera angles, but up close photos like this show how badly they need green on them. And I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I think the Seahawks all-navy is one of the few good instances of monochrome in the NFL. I would honestly argue that the blue pants are the best option for all 4 of their jersey options (I'm still waiting for the day they wear grey over navy) 2 Sorry, I'm on an iPad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just giving my opinion as someone who went to art school and is a professional graphic designer Granted, a well-founded opinion is subjective, I should've used the term "unpopular" or "controversial". I'm also a professional graphic designer who has made hundreds of uniform concepts for fun and I've gone from a novice in terms of appreciating sports aesthetics for someone who has an eye for it. I can attest that monochrome is almost always inferior to breaking up color, I can attest that adding unnecessary modern elements is almost always a bad idea, and I can guarantee that simpler is almost always better in a sport banking on professionalism and tradition. There are always exceptions, but that's a matter of personal preference. Opinions are opinions and none of this matters in the grand scheme of things but you can't just spout unpopular opinions, back them up with completely subjective claims like its gospel, and then ruthlessly debate people who disagree with you. Everyone here is giving their opinion as a designer or as a longtime fan or as a newcomer or what have you. People would be far more receptive to your opinions if you handled them more gracefully and were more receptive to the thoughts of those who disagree with you. I know you're a newcomer here on the boards but don't be surprised when people dislike an opinion that doesn't coincide with established rules of football uniform design. Take the time to hear us out, at the very least. (Apologies to the mods if this crosses a line or throws gas on the flame, I did not see your comments when you stepped in.) 2 Perrin Grubb | Aspiring Designer | NAFA Project ~ NFL Redesigns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
