I was thinking the same thing. Makes their normal uniform look awful.
I believe the "logic" behind all this is that when the Seahawks originally wore those jerseys they were as invisible as an NFL franchise could be.
The darker jerseys that Pete Carroll started out with are actually ok (look up the Beastquake run), and then they unveiled the current jerseys with their 2012 run that foreshadowed the success to come, when they drafted Wagner, Wilson, Irvin, and the LOB was set.
They haven't even worn the 2010-2011 era jerseys since then, so going all the way back to this throwback now is interesting.
It definitely is a better jersey.
No reason for the lime green jerseys at all, but they've had some notable wins in them so in a weird way they've justified wearing them way more than they ever should.
Very interesting way of thinking in the Pacific Northwest.
