TruColor Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Are the Seahawks "darkening" their wolf grey color this upcoming season ? Seems like I read somewhere that they were.Not so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BadSeed84 Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Thats also when they added a silver outline and black drop shadow to their numbers, which wasn't necessary imo.Also never seen a good version of the old wordmark, nice posting it.

powersurge Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 I find that to be one of the main design flaws with their newer jerseys. Choosing to utilize the much darker charcoal color as opposed to using silver completely muddies up the numbers and doesn't allow for enough differentiation between the black and grey color. I seriously wish they would consider changing that one little detail; it would make a world of difference in helping to lighten up a very dark muddied look.

TheRevTy Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 As I was reading through the various new NFL uniform threads, a thought occurred to me. Remember how the Buccaneers were rumored to be changing things, but then changed their mind at the last minute? Well, we could all speculate as to what those changes would've been, but there is one that would've been amazing - metallic satin finish helmets, a la the Vikings. If ever there was a team that should have a non-gloss helmet, it is the pewter-clad Bucs. A satin finish pewter helmet - not entirely unlike Michigan State's bronze helmets - would be a thing of beauty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powersurge Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 ^I'd be interested in seeing that happen. It might help with the fact that their helmets look totally different in various lighting situations. Sometimes they look ultra dark, sometimes ultra shiny, and sometimes kind of matte looking. I personally don't find it appealing when that happens but some might. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then they dumped it. I doubt there would have been any substantial changes to the uniform. It probably would have just been the sleeve & helmet logo being tweaked.

TruColor Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Here's a brief history of the Buccaneers' various shades of Orange used through the years:The original unis had a custom color (like all NFL teams in that era), then was standardized to a specific Pantone value around 1980. With the redesign in 1997, they went to a reddish-Orange, which was then changed due to the Reebok contract, and then darkened again for Nike. For the current shade, think Chicago Bears Orange.
