Page "Seattle Seahawks" Paragraph 16

In, to coincide with the team moving to the NFC as well as the opening of Seahawks Stadium ( which would later be renamed Qwest Field, then CenturyLink Field ), both the logo and the uniforms were heavily redesigned.

The Wordmark was designed by Mark Verlander and the logo was designed by NFL Properties in-house design team.

The colors were modified to a lighter " Seahawks Blue ", a darker " Seahawks Navy " and lime green piping.

The helmets also were changed from silver to the lighter " Seahawks Blue " color after a fan poll was conducted.

The logo artwork was also subtly altered, with an arched eyebrow and a forward-facing pupil suggesting a more aggressive-looking bird.

At first, the team had planned to wear silver helmets at home and blue helmets on the road, but since NFL rules forbid the use of multiple helmets, the team held the fan poll to decide which color helmet would be worn.

The team has usually worn all blue at home and all white on the road since 2003, but late in the 2009 season, the Seahawks wore the white jersey-blue pants combo.

The blue jersey and white pants combo has been worn for only one regular season game, the 2005 season opener at the Jacksonville Jaguars, while the white jersey and blue pants combination has not been worn regularly since late in the 2002 season, with the exception of late in the 2009 season.

In 2009, the Seahawks once again wore the white jersey and blue pants combination for road games against the Minnesota ( November 22 ), St. Louis ( November 29 ), Houston ( December 13 ) and Green Bay ( December 27 ).
