Official 2012 Seattle Seahawks Thread

Unfortunately, it appears that...

Seahawks out of the Peyton Manning sweepstakes – now what?

However, this could turn out to be fortunate in the long run too!

It’s a race between Miami and Seattle for quarterback Matt Flynn

A great blog entry:

Feeling very hopeful for the future of this team!

Pretty busy, and a pretty big change, but I don’t mind them. Sort of like what the Broncos did as far as pushing the envelope when they changed with that jersey and pant stripe.

White, blue, and grey, along with similar colored pants. Liking the white with blue pants. (Pic 22) or the home blue with grey pants (Pic 21)

Feathers tributing the natives of the PNW, as well as the 12th man. Certainly out there, and will take a while, but on first blush I like them as being different.

I still love the team, but I don't like the new uniforms. I get the feeling that people that say they love them are those that prefer to keep the stickers on their sideways purple Yankees hat with the prefectly straight brim

I hate that stuff.

I like these uniforms. Seattle has consistently produced one of the best looking uniforms in the league, from day 1. Glad to see the primary logo design is unaltered.

Still think this is the best looking uniform in league history:

I think Nike has said too that a throwback will be coming, so I expect that. With Seattle took the leap being a bit of a guinea pig for the league this season (the design took over a year from the start), I am guessing they will be first to get something like a throwback. Also, the Seahawks wanted to have two helmets back in the 2002 change to retain the silver helmet, but the NFL said they had to pick one.

The logo was actually re-tweaked this time color-wise, to re-include grey to allow the trim and the 3rd jersey.
It was previously with 2002 change, sort of a blueish grey.


Closer look: Helmet is now matte (first in NFL, I think), not metallic, with the same pattern this is in the numbers, and, on a larger scale, down the side of the pants. Also, a darker blue than before...and the logo now connects at the back of the helmet:



Hopefully this is the road set, looks the sharpest of all the combos:

Home, the all blue still looks pretty good, but the grey pants look good too:




More I see, more I like. Its out there, but not in an over the top way.

I'm looking forward to the all gray, myself:

I'm looking at either the Cowboys game or the Patriots game for my Seahawks trip this fall.

Thinking about going to the Packers game on the Monday Night as the Sounders are playing at Century Link the night before and have some buddies who are Mariner fans who might come along and they are in town that weekend as well.

I knew that the Mariners were in town that weekend, but I never thought to check out the Sounders schedule. Might have to add the Pack game to the list of possiblities.

Seattle takes West Virginia's Bruce Irvin

[Wise Gamble]

Tough schedule. Looking forward to going down to a few games.

Buccaneers deal TE Winslow to Seattle, sign Clark

[browna]

No risk, no reward. In this case, the risk is a conditional 7th round pick.

If he has a re-occurance of an attitude problem at any point before or during the season, he gets cut like Lendale White a couple years back.

If he doesn't, and puts up the good numbers in catches and yards as he has over the past 3 years, he's a massive upgrade over the now-gone Carlson, and a lot cheaper too.
