Seattle Seahawks Jerseys

The Seattle Seahawks pro football team joined the NFL in 1976 as an expansion team. The Seahawks are currently members of the NFC Western division of the NFL. Seattle is the only team that has played in both AFC and NFC championship games. The Seahawks have one Super Bowl trip under their belts.

Seattle is the only NFL team that has switched conferences twice in the era since the merger. The team began in 1976 as a part of the NFC West division, but traded with the Buccaneers and joined the AFC West division after one season. In 2002 the Seattle team as part of an NFL realignment was returned to the NFC West division. The Seahawks have won 6 division titles in their history: 1988 and 99 AFC West titles, and 2004-2007 NFC West titles. They also won the 2005 NFC Championship game and lost the AFC Championship game in 1983. Until 2005 the Seahawks had the longest drought of playoff victories in the NFL, their drought began in 1984.

Number 12 Jersey

The Seattle Seahawks paid tribute to their raucous fans that made the Kingdome the loudest stadium in the NFL by retiring the number 12 in 1984. Jerseys with the number 12 and the name FAN on the back have been sold by the team and worn by fans ever since.

In 1976 when the Seahawks debuted their logo was a royal blue and green hawks head. The helmet and uniforms consisted of a silver helmet with silver pants and home jerseys of royal blue with white blue and green arm stripes. Road jerseys were white with blue and green arm stripes.

In 1983 the uniforms received a slight update and change. The stripes on the arm of the jerseys included the Seahawks logo and the TV numbers were moved to the shoulders. The facemasks on the helmet were changed from silver to blue for contrast. In 2002 the logo and the uniforms went through a major change. The colors were modified to lighter Seahawks Blue and darker Seahawks Navy with neon green piping. The helmets were also changed to Seahawks Blue from silver. The logo artwork was altered to show a more aggressive looking bird.

Since 2003 the team usually wears all blue at home and all white on the road. Now that the Oakland Raiders have worn their white jerseys at home the Seahawks are the only NFL team to have never worn white jerseys at home.

With fans like the Seahawks have there is no way that they dont feel the love and support of the audience when they play. Over several years in the NFL the Seahawks have had up seasons and down seasons but they are nowhere near ready to quit. They are going into the 2009 season with a new head coach, Jim L. Mora, and great players like Matt Hasselbeck, David Washington, and Cory Redding, hopefully we will see the Seahawks in another Super Bowl soon.
