Watch Jake Bobo score TD in Seahawks royal blue throwbacks

Seattle Seahawks fans are excited to watch their squad don their royal blue throwback uniform in Sunday’s Week 1 contest against the Denver Broncos. Bias aside, it’s arguably the best jersey combination in the entire National Football League. What a way to celebrate the 2024 campaign kickoff!

The Seahawks’ social media team is equally as excited. The announcement was followed up by a social clip of sophomore wide receiver Jake Bobo scoring the first touchdown in the lovely royal blues. Bobo found the end zone after going in motion and taking the handoff from quarterback Geno Smith.

The 12th Man will provide a raucous atmosphere at Lumen Field on Sunday. Rocking the royal blues versus Denver is particularly fitting because the Broncos were Seattle’s former AFC West rival from 1977-2001. This will also mark the second time in the previous three years the Seahawks will open the NFL season against the Broncos while wearing an alternate uniform. In 2022, Seattle hosted Denver on Monday Night Football while wearing their all Action Green uniform.

The Seahawks are slated to wear their throwback uniform for a second time against their NFC West rival San Francisco 49ers on Thursday Night Football in Week 6. That impending showdown will be old school versus old school, with the 49ers planning to wear their all-white throwback uniforms.

The Seahawks went 1-1 in 2023 in two games rocking the throwbacks. Seattle defeated the Cleveland Browns in their Week 8 showdown, outlasting them 24-20. Unfortunately, Seattle fell 41-35 to the Dallas Cowboys in their second and final throwback outing. The Seahawks will attempt to begin the 2024 regular-season campaign on the appropriate foot with a victory over the Broncos.

Seahawks ‘vehemently’ deny they will be wearing new uniforms in 2024

This can all be settled very easily by the Seahawks declaring the throwback uniforms are their regular ones for now and for all time.

A lot of news came out of the league meetings last week in Orlando, from the new kickoff rules and roster changes to hip-drop tackles being banned. Whenever there’s a flurry of NFL news like that there are bound to be some things that slip through the cracks. Here’s one such case that we missed in all the action.

According to Bob Condotta at the Seattle Times, the Seahawks “vehemently” denied the Reddit rumor that the team will be wearing new uniforms this season.

While there’s something to be said for variety, if it ain’t broke you shouldn’t try to fix it. This can all be settled very easily by the Seahawks declaring the throwback uniforms are their regular ones for now and for all time.

Seahawks fans, rejoice! For years, the 12th Man has clamored for the return of the classic Seahawks throwback uniforms worn by the team in their early decades of action. Now, it appears they will be getting their wish fulfilled next year.

During the first quarter of the game against the Raiders, the Seahawks announced the return of the classic throwback threads for the 2023 season.

Seattle wore the classic royal blue jerseys with silver pants and helmets from their inception in 1976 all the way to the 21st century, ending in the 2001 season. Aside from a few minor changes to the sleeves and facemask, this uniform combo remained largely unchanged and was the iconic look for Pacific Northwest football.

Now they are set to make their triumphant return roughly 22 years later. The Seahawks are finally able to do so thanks to a change in the NFL’s helmet policy. In 2021, the NFL ditched their rule of teams only having one set of helmets. Now teams can have two, as long as both sets meet the same safety requirements.

The one helmet requirement limited the Seahawks, as their primary navy helmet would not lend itself to be apart of an authentic throwback uniform. Now, Seattle can officially party like it’s 1976.
