Those Seahawks uniforms are just awful. IMO, the uniforms they had were pretty cool looking.

LOL... I can't believe the organization approved those! Guess that what happens when your club needs gimmicks to garner attention. Glad I am not a fan...

Going from having one of the coolest uni's to having the ugliest that quickly... They are now the Oregon Ducks of the NFL.

Well you have to remember, the Seahawks aren't the only one's switching to Nike. It's the entire league. So it's not like they could just sign off on it...

As far as I know the team had to approve the design of the uniforms. That's the only one that looks like a real drastic change:

They look the same, only Seattle had a major overhaul and Seattle has now the worst looking uniforms in the NFL, I feel sorry for the fans

seattle needed to overhaul to some degree as their primary color for their uniform (and the bottom half of the logo) was proprietary to reebok

in that big group photo above it doesn't look that bad (Kam Chancellor is #31 between Alex Smith & Suh)

I actually like the white uniforms more than the old ones

I really don't like the blue uniforms

The grey alternates are a bit disapointing as well

As a seahawks fan I hate that there isn't a single seahawks logo on the actual jersey - a logo that pretty much every seahawk fan loves (also don't love the grey in the new logo) ....... for close to 30 years they had a seahawk on the sleeve ..... now they have a swoosh and the home unis look very close to the vikings horn effect

Some of it could be generational though ....... younger people/players seem to like it .... feedback from players (both seattle and otherwise) is that they absolutely love it .... you have players calling them by far the best in the league

i'm not a player in the league though

i'm a middle class suburban dude in my 30s who is actually buying merchandise and for the most part I don't like it

Of course the Seahawks had a say so... it's their uniform!!!

They are still independently own franchises. Sure they have guidelines from the NFL on the uni's but the changes (if any) are up to the teams themselves.

Have you guys seen the combat uniforms yet? Now, those are crazy looking.
