That helmet with the red eyed hawk is hideous.

Seattle's football stadium is the best one in the league, though. What a gem.

I've never seen that logo and don't think it made the cut in the contest (and to me it looks cheesy). Here is a link to an old ESPN article.

Google Image Result for http://espn.go.com/media/pg2/2002/0328/photo/a_newhelmet2_i.jpg

Here are the pics of the other choice.





I voted for the silver helmet...but dig the blue one too.

Looking at the ESPN link, I noticed the SuperSonics finally got new uniforms. They'll look great this year...oh, wait...
yeah - I couldn't see the posted pic at work - it definitely wasn't the one that was up for the vote

I don't think that the one shown was ever under consideration by the seattle seahawks - there are some teams in the US and internationally that use seahawks as their nickname as well, it could of been one of their options

i voted for the blue helmets, but don't mind the silver ones - i think they would of looked pretty good as I was also a huge fan of the old unis

The bloodshot eye thing is just plain silly.

But their unis are so butt-ugly now I guess it doesn't matter - they should bring back the old ones.

I'm sure they are smoking the good stuff up in the PNW, but the Seahawks wear Reebok jerseys, not Nike, so the whole Duck comment really doesn't make sense.

Holy Lord! Nike is now taking over Reebok!!!

When will it end?

Heck, I'm a Duck fan, but even I think those would be some ugly unis for the Seahawks.

Now, these Duck threads are nice.



The Grellow helmets look best when they are with the rest of the uniform.



And here is a closeup of the ghost flames...like Hot Wheels, it means we are fast...

those seahawk prototypes posted above are nothing more than an internet guy messing around - used the bottom one as an april fools day joke

there are some people who like the green as a primary color and they do sell an alternate jersey that looks like the one in the 2nd one - i've only seen it on women though
