The 2023 season has marked the end of an era for the Seattle Seahawks. With the departure of head coach Pete Carroll, the Seahawks are entering into new territory. But a coaching change might not be the only thing on the horizon for Seattle.
Rumors are swirling online, stemming from a now-deleted Reddit post, about potential new uniforms. An alleged former paralegal from Nike went into full detail about what the new Seahawks uniforms could look like.
Again. I must stress: this is merely a rumor. There are no official confirmations of a uniform change. And quite frankly, I hope they stay exclusively rumors.
As someone else pointed out, this mock-up closely resembles what the post describes.

Ever since Seattle brought the throwbacks back for the 2023 season, fans have wanted them to become the main uniforms. It appears this style is a blend of both the modern and classic look.
Personally, I cannot stand this. The shade of blue is far too close to the steel blue look of the 2000’s. Not to mention there is hardly any differentiating between this and the actual throwbacks. For me, part of what makes the throwbacks so special is them getting used sparingly, for special high-profile games.
Also… I think the Nike uniforms they have now, and have been wearing since 2012, still looks great! The blend of navy and neon is perfect, and they have enough options to bring versatility to any combination they choose.
