Despite the fact that this post is going up on April Fool's Day, it is not an April Fool's joke. It seems that yesterday at some point, designs for the Seattle Seahawks' new alternate jersey leaked out. I first found
the jersey on 4chan, but confirmed that it
first appeared on Green Glare, a well known Seahawks blog, on March 31st (so not an April Fool's joke).
UniWatch also confirmed that this jersey has been rumored to be coming out for months, so here you go, the third jersey for your 2009 Seattle Seahawks.
Good lord those things are ugly. It'll be like a lime green popsicle running down the field. Or a giant booger.
You know what, I'll just stop now.
But seriously, I can't be the only one that thinks these Seahawks jerseys give the old Tampa Bay Bucs ones a run for the money.
Man, I tell you what. It's one close call in my mind. Also, I'm really hungry for sherbet right about now.

Uh... Dolla Dolla Bills Ya'll... You Don't Have To Be A Rocket Scientist, Wait, Your Saying It Wasn't About The Money, Well Then Cincy Isn't exactly A Perenial Playoff Contender As Well, Seattle although an exception with the last year were 4x NFC West Champions, Not Exactly The Best Division But It's Not Like They Were 7-9 When Thay Won Each Year.

Maybe they should focus on improving their team rather than the uniforms. How many wins did they have last season? Like, negative 24?

Seahawks sure could use some luck

i honestly don't think those jerseys are bad at all. And if they can match the performance of Seattle Sounders FC (through the first two weeks anyways) no one will be complaining

Orange is my favorite color, so I always loved those jerseys. These new Seattle uniforms are beyond awful.

I'll bet they got they're idea from the sounders' jerseys.
At least now people will pay attention to the seahawks...

You're in luck - the Bucs are supposedly going to play a game this season in the Bucco Bruce Cremesicle unis!
However, those lime green unis for the Seahawks are just wrong....

No Eric - I won't faint. Thank goodness they're the THIRD jersey and I won't have to see it on a regular basis.
No Scott - I won't be buying a Houshmandzadeh jersey...I'd like to see how he works out on my team before I decide to get him traded, injured, force him into retirement...
I'm gettin a Housh jersey!

Looks like they're trying to have the Seahawks & MLS's Sounders have matching uniforms. Paul Allen is part owner of the Seattle Sounders.

I just can't hate on Seattle. It's not fair.
4/1/09 | CMor25
yeah, but it is Seattle, and the city is clearly trying to conform every team to similar colors; just wait, the Mariners are going to have lime green alternates as well soon enough...and that's why the basketball team was truly kicked out of town...not because the owner had roots in Oklahoma ;)

I absolutely love their 80's jerseys. They just scream "winners".
It doesn't matter how good the team is... when they're wearing those uniforms, it just SEEMS like they're dominant, even if they're not.

But their soccer team can play.

The neon green the WLAF used for the Orlando Thunder was much brighter than this. I always thought they looked pretty cool, too.
4/1/09 |

I like the current ones but the team has said "Don't be surprised to see championship colors". I think a version of the old 80's ones could do well. I do like the gold addition to the oval, so maybe they lose the dark garnet and go back to the red. Either way, my WIllis jersey is on hold until after Draft Day.

49ers debut new duds on April 25. Hopefully they look better than this.
Ummm... unless they go with gold unis with red and black accents, there's no way they could possibly be worse... or even compare.

I feel bad for for TJ Housmanzadeh... He made a good choice to get out of cincinnati and go somewhere knew but now on the field he is still going to look like an idiot!!! It really looks horrible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

These are hideous. I've actually seen people wearing similar jerseys to these in the stadium the last couple of years and I always say "WHY!?" - leave the green as an accent for the love of all that his holy.

I hadn't realized that the Lions "new" unis had already leaked. Hopefully the Niners, Phins, and Jags unveil some better jerseys than the Lions and Seahawks have.

I doubt it, this leaked out on March 31st, and was confirmed by UniWatch. So i'd think it's pretty legit.

Seattle has been toying with making the accent stripe color a full-fledged jersey for a while now. I never though it would become a reality, but there you go.
