Field Gulls
Sam Darnold against his former team in the throwbacks? Sure!
The Seattle Seahawks are celebrating 50 seasons in the NFL, and what better way to celebrate than continuing to wear those throwback threads?
We already know that the Seahawks will have a throwback day in Week 5 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (also marking 50 seasons in the league), and now we know that Seattle’s Week 13 showdown on Nov. 30 against the Minnesota Vikings is not just Sam Darnold facing his former team, it’s also the other throwback game on the docket.
The Seahawks introduced the 1990s inspired throwbacks in 2023, wearing them in a 24-20 comeback win over the Cleveland Browns. Jaxon Smith-Njigba scored his first game-winning touchdown of his young career.
Their lone road throwback game was the wild 41-35 loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday Night Football later that season. Mike Macdonald’s head coaching debut started with the Seahawks donning the retro uniforms in a 26-20 win over the Denver Broncos, while the most recent throwback appearance was a 36-24 loss to the San Francisco 49ers on Thursday Night Football. Clearly, Thursdays are the problem.
Seattle will soon unveil its ‘Rivalries’ jerseys in Week 16 against the Los Angeles Rams on... uh oh.
