Ranking the top 12 NFL uniforms

8. Seattle Seahawks

Overall grade: 8.75

Color uniform: 7.75

White uniform: 8.75

Alternate uniform: 9.75

 Since Nike got rid of the Seahawks’ vomit-inducing jerseys that the team wore from 2002 through 2011, the Seahawks have won a bunch of games. Some of their success can be attributed to their new clothes

The weak link in the Seahawks’ uniforms is their home jersey, the navy-on-navy. I just think that’s a bit too much navy for a pair of eyes to process at one time, especially with the navy helmet on top of it all.

However, the Seahawks look real good in white. All-white, white-on-navy and white-on-wolf grey are all great looks with the navy helmets.

What boosts the Seahawks substantially is their all-wolf grey alternates. The Seahawks are the only team in the NFL that wears a grey shirt with grey pants, and that uniqueness goes a long way.

It will be interesting to see if the Seahawks ever wear an alternate neon green jersey. It’s the only color in their scheme that doesn’t have a jersey of its own, yet it plays an important role in the trim of each uniform. The Seahawks wore an ugly neon-on-navy combination in 2009 before the Nike contract, but that was the only time (thankfully). Maybe Nike could do it better than Reebok.

Next: 7. Buffalo Bills
