southernyankee Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 Hi all - long time lurker - first time poster. Love the site - nice to know I'm not the only uniform geek around. All my life I've watched games and thought about how I'd change so and so's uni. Anyway - was looking at the Seahawks uni's while watching the game. I'm old school when it comes to unis but like the Seattle colors and dislike the monochrome. I've always thought if they would make the home jerseys Navy with Seattle blue sleeves they would look better - even with the blue pants at home. Anyone out there agree or have there been any concepts in the other forum that show Navy as the primary home color? BTW - Leopard 88 - I'm also a Marylander and agree with most of your posts - which I find intelligent and insightful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winghaz Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 I think I have a name for the color of the Seahawks' uniforms:Dingy.I mean, that color is about as exciting as Seattle's weather. You almost expect mold to be growing on the north sides of their uniforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southernyankee Posted January 15, 2006 Author Share Posted January 15, 2006 I'm not sure if they're "dingy". I love the logo and think they have a good basic design - I just do not like the monochrome look and am not a fan of the lime green. Would love to see just the two blues and white with maybe the old silver as an accent color. Wear white pants at home with a navy jersey and navy-seahawk blue-navy stripe pattern on white pants. Road would be white jerseys with seahawk blue sleeves and the current pants but with Navy - white - navy stripes. Maybe put some stripes on the socks. Definitley keep the black shoes. ALL teams should have BLACk footwear!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infrared41 Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 I would have no problem with Seattle's home unis if they would just ditch the all blue look and wear white pants. Lose the all blue look and they are pretty good looking uniforms. The blue they use right now isn't terribly exciting but it is different. Not great but not bad at all. All roads lead to Dollar General. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutyfree Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 Dingy is right. Or better yet, bleak. Dismal. Depressed. No wonder the Pacific Northwest has a reputation for harboring kooks. The team decides to reinvent itself and chooses to blend into the ominous sky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southernyankee Posted January 15, 2006 Author Share Posted January 15, 2006 I've also wondered how close the "seahawk" blue is to the Cowboy's "silver-blue" color as that is what it reminds me of. Can I be so bold as a "newbie" to invoke the spirit of "PANTONE" on this one??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruColor Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 OK...here's the Seahawks' colors:...and the Cowboys: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawk36 Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 Seahawks would be fine if they actually used their colors. It's horrible that cheap knock off jerseys look much better than authentic ones simply because they use a dark blue and a lighter blue (as Pantone has shown). I actually bought one of the cheapies simply because the two blues look much better than the dark blue and darker blue actually worn by the team.

seahawk9 Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 As a fan of the Seahawks since 1976, I absolutely hate the all-blue monochrome home look. Wish they would wear white pants with the blue jerseys like they were designed to. They've only wore they combo once in the regular season against Jacksonville opening day-looked real good even though they lost the game. Even though they have lost plenty of games in all blue over the last 4 years, as long as they are on the current winning streak, they well never get their asses out of the blue pants at home. Just thank the Lord that if they make it to the Super Bowl they will be wearing white pants with white jerseys.................................

Many of the cheaper versions of team jerseys are not the offical color mix of the team because of the type of fabric used and color mix. I agree the Seahawks blue-grey color is very drab and what makes the drabbness more pronounced is they wear the blue jerseys WITH the blue pants. The offical color the team uses looks very different in different lighting situations ( sunlight, overcast day, night, and wet ) It also does not reproduce well on video, film, or photographs. Sometimes it comes off with a purpleish tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawk36 Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 The other problem with the Seahawk blue is that when it gets wet, it looks nearly identical to the Seahawk navy blue. Seems like a good challenge to Reebok to not only create a jersey with actual Seahawk's blue, but also with material that when it gets wet, doesn't so drastically change its color. We are in 2006 aren't we? Design Hovie Studios Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otherwilds Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 My only beef with the Seattle uni is get rid of the monochrome look puh-leez and I really thing the logo on the sleave is a little on the smallish side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
