The Seattle Seahawks on Wednesday morning officially unveiled their 1990s-era throwback uniforms, which will make their return during their Oct. 29 game against the Cleveland Browns.
The uniforms feature silver helmets with a totem-style logo on the sides and a royal blue facemask, a royal blue jerseys with white numbers and the aforementioned logo wrapping around the sleeves, silver pants with green, white and royal blue stripes and royal blue socks.

Smaller details include a logo for the Kingdome, Seattle’s home from 1976-99, just inside the back collar, which – in true ‘90s form – features a rib knit design. They also left a gap between the helmet logos for historical accuracy, as modern helmets don’t have a ridge like the original lids.
The Seahawks wore silver helmets from their inception in 1976 though a redesign in 2002, which included an updated primary logo and a move to “Seahawks Blue” lids. That was followed by navy blue helmets as part of another redesign when Nike took over the NFL contract in 2012.
This will mark the first time in franchise history that Seattle has donned throwback uniforms, and it’s appropriate that they’ll be worn against an AFC team, as the design was last worn in 2001, the final season before the Seahawks moved to the NFC.
Seattle went 3-1 against the Browns at home in this uniform, which was originally unveiled in 1983, including a 33-0 win in 1984, a 31-13 win in 1985, a 17-7 loss in 1989 and a 22-5 win in 1993. The royal blue jerseys were also 2-0 in Cleveland, including a 16-10 win in 1988 and a 9-6 win in 2001.
“I’ve always been a big fan of these jerseys,” quarterback Geno Smith said. “It’s cool that they’re bringing it back, and it’s cool that we get to be the team that brings them back. Hopefully the fans will love it, and we’re going to go out there and kick a lot of butt in these things.”
