And this Artwork evokes an unmistakably
Classic quality. Indeed, it will look at
home next to a diploma or a work of fine art.
Whether you hang it on a wall or lean it on a shelf or mantle, the
Artwork will make a striking impression.
Please keep in mind, though, the visuals
depicted here on the website simply can not do justice to the detail and
quality of the actual Artwork.
Please note the uniform images shown are
produced from hand-painted watercolor paintings. The publisher chose this route, rather than photographs, because
in many cases original jerseys no longer exist, even at the various halls of
fame. In addition, a more consistent
look and feel for the uniforms is achieved by painting them, and allows for a
higher level of detail than a photograph in some cases.
Here, then, is a detailed description of the
12” x 21” Artpiece that sells for only $52 each. It consists of a 5” x 15” paper print that is housed in a black
frame with a textured black mat. The
black mat has a white groove cut into it, thus adding depth and beauty to the
piece. Weighing approximately four pounds,
the Artwork is protected by unbreakable Plexiglas and includes a “hanger” on
the back to allow for easy hanging. The
black frame—and especially the textured black mat with white groove—makes
this a truly stunning Artpiece.
The above is an example of
the 12” x 21” Artpiece, which depicts the Washington Redskins.
**************************************
As for the 19” x 39” Limited Edition Artwork,
please note each Artwork is printed on 115-lb Garda Gloss stock and then
mounted to avoid any rippling effects.
As for its matting and framing, the Limited Edition is triple-matted in
an acid-free framing style. The outer
mat is a rich, black textured mat with white core. The middle and inner mat colors have been selected to complement
the team’s colors and the overall framed piece. The matting is framed to create a shadow box effect, giving the
entire framed piece a unique three-dimensional look. The frame is an exquisite solid wood frame finished with a rich
black matte texture, chosen to complement all three mats and the print
itself. Finally, the Artpiece is
protected by high-quality framing glass; the total weight of the Artpiece being
approximately 10 pounds.

Here then is the history of the Seahawks’ Uniforms …
#1.
1976 When the Seattle
Seahawks took the field for the first time in 1976, it marked the culmination
of an almost 20 year quest for an NFL franchise. In 1957, people in the Pacific
Northwest began discussing the possibility of constructing a domed stadium that
would assure a major league sports franchise for the city. On June 4, 1974, the
NFL awarded its 28th franchise to Seattle to play in the 64,984-seat Kingdome.
On January 3, 1976, Jack Patera, who had been
a Minnesota assistant, was named the team's first coach. The Seahawks finished
2-12 in 1976, when they played in the NFC, and 5-9 in 1977, when they moved to
the AFC.
The nickname Seahawks was the result of a fan
contest that drew 20,365 entries and suggested 1,742 different names. Seahawks
was suggested by 151 entrants and judged by the team ownership as the best
choice.
This blue jersey has white numbers on the
front and sleeves, and has green and white stripes on the sleeves. The helmet,
as you can see, carries the Seahawks logo.
#2.
1978 The Seahawks have
records of 9-7 in 1978 and 1979, placing them 4th place, and 3rd
place respectively each year.
Patera, the Seahawks head coach since the beginning of the
franchise, was named the 1979 NFL Coach of the Year.
In their first winning season, the Seahawks
were led by QB Jim Zorn, who passed 3283 yards and 15 td’s, as well as RB
Sherman Smith who rushed 805 yards.
This white away jersey has put green and blue
stripes on the arms, blue numbers on the front and arms, and the neckline is
blue. If you look closely, you can see a change in the mask on the helmet. We
have added a picture of a neck guard, as many teams wore them for further
protection.
#3.
1982 Three consecutive
losing seasons to the start of the 1980’s cost Patera his job, but allowed the
Nordstrom’s to find the perfect front office combo. Mike McCormack, the Hall of
Fame offensive lineman for the Cleveland Browns, filled in as interim coach in
1982 and became team president the next season. McCormack hired chuck Knox, a master
of franchise turnarounds. The Seahawks were no longer an expansion team – they
were contenders. In nine seasons, Knox guided the Seahawks to an 83-67-0 record.
If you look closely, you will see the change of the mask on the
helmet. The jersey doesn’t change much, other than the inverting of the stripes
on the pants.
#4.
1983 Three consecutive losing seasons
to the start of the 1980’s cost Patera his job, but allowed the Nordstrom’s to
find the perfect front office combo. Mike McCormack, the Hall of Fame offensive
lineman for the Cleveland Browns, filled in as interim coach in 1982 and became
team president the following season. McCormack hired Chuck Knox, a master of
franchise turnarounds. The Seahawks were no longer an expansion team – they
were contenders. In nine seasons, Knox guided the Seahawks to an 83-67-0 record.
In his first season as head coach, Knox led
the Seahawks to the AFC championship game. For the first time in its eight-year
history, Seattle made the playoffs by earning a wildcard berth. After beating
Denver and Miami, they lost to the Los Angeles Raiders, 30-14, in the AFC
championship game.
This blue jersey has changed its looks with
the addition of the Seahawks logo on the sleeves, and by moving the player
numbers to the shoulders. If you look closely, you will notice a change of the
mask.
#5.
1984 Chuck Knox and the Seahawks made
it to the playoffs again this season with a 12-4 record. Seattle's success came
in spite of the absence of ace running back Curt Warner, who led the AFC in
rushing as a rookie in 1983 with 1,449 yards. Warner was injured in the first
game and missed the rest of the season.
On January 8th, during the AFC
Championship Game, the Seahawks were defeated but the Oakland Raiders 30 – 14.
The game, played in Los Angeles at Memorial Coliseum, was the first
championship game ever for the Seahawks.
This white jersey has the player numbers on
the shoulders, and if you look closely, you will notice the Seahawks logo going
around the arms. Note the change of the mask on the helmet.
#6.
1987 After a 9-6 season, coach Chuck
Knox led Seattle back to the playoffs, and the teams only AFC West title in
1988. Unfortunately, the Seahawks would lose to the eventual AFC Champion, the
Cincinnati Seahawks, in the first round of the playoffs.
In September, the NFL Players Association
announces that players will be on strike following the weekend’s games.
QB Dave Krieg, who passed for 2131 yards and
23 td’s, led this team on offence, while HB Curt Warner had a great season as
rushing 985 yards.
In October, the NFLPA announce that the
strike is over, but not in time for the upcoming weekend games.
This blue jersey hasn’t changed much since
the previous years, keeping the player numbers on the shoulders, as well as the
logo on the bottom of the sleeves. If you look closely, you can see the change
of the mask on the helmet.
#7.
1988 Coach Knox led Seattle back to the
playoffs in 1987, and to the team's only AFC West title in 1988 after a 9-7
season record. During the first round of playoffs, they lost to the eventual
AFC champion, the Cincinnati Seahawks.
There have been many great Seahawks over the
years - HB Curt Warner, QB Dave Krieg to name a few - but none flew higher than
wide receiver Steve Largent. When he retired after the 1989 season, he was the
NFL's all-time leading receiver and held six NFL records. In 1995 he would
become the first Seahawk to be elected to the Hall of Fame.
Ken Behring purchased majority ownership of
the club from the Nordstrom family. On February 11, 1989, he would name former
Los Angeles Raiders head coach Tom Flores as the team's new president and
general manager.
This blue jersey has the player numbers on
the shoulders, and the Seahawks logo on the sleeves. If you look closely, you
can see that we have added a picture of a neck guard. This is due to the fact
that most teams wore them in this season, for further protection when they got
hit. Also note the mask on the helmet has changed.
#8.
1990 The Seahawks have another winning
season, with 9 wins and 7 losses. They were led by QB Dave Krieg, who passed
for 3194 yards and 15 td’s.
RB Chris Warren, who in his rookie season,
only rushed for 11 yards, would eventually be one of the Seahawks record
leaders with most yards rushing in his career, with 6,706 yards from 1990-97.
This white jersey has the player numbers on
the shoulders, and the Seahawks logo on the sleeves. If you look closely, you
will see the change of the mask of the helmet.
#9.
1994 There have been many great
Seahawks over the years - HB Curt Warner, QB Dave Krieg to name a few - but
none flew higher than wide receiver Steve Largent. When he retired after the
1989 season, he was the NFL's all-time leading receiver and he held six NFL
records. In 1995 he became the first Seahawk to be elected to the Hall of Fame.
Since Tom Flores took over as head coach of
the Seahawks in 1992, the team has had a horrible record of 14-34. This season
the Seahawks finish with a dismal 6-10 record. In 1995, Dennis Erickson takes
over the head coaching position, and the team finds its way back to the win
column.
During this season, the NFL and its
franchises were showcasing ‘throwback’ jerseys, or replicas of older uniforms
to help commemorate the NFL’s 75th anniversary. The 75th
anniversary was also commemorated by the diamond patch on the upper left part
of the torso - this patch was worn on all 1994 jerseys whether they were
"throwback" jerseys or not.
This blue jersey, which is a replica of the
first jersey on the poster, returns the numbers to the arms. The helmet, which
has been the same for years, has the Seahawks logo on the side, and if you look
closely you can see the change of the mask.
You will also see a patch on the left shoulder. This celebrates the 75th
anniversary of the NFL.
#10.
1999 The future of the Seahawks in the
Pacific Northwest was secured after Paul Allen purchased the team in 1997 and
two years later hired Mike Holmgren as their head coach and general manager.
The Seahawks had their first winning season
since Tom Flores took over as head coach. QB Jon Kitna, who passed 3346 yards
and 23 td’s, led the team to a 9-7 record, earning them a berth into the Wild
Card game. Playing host to the Miami Dolphins, they unfortunately couldn’t keep
up, losing a close game 20-17.
If you look closely at this jersey, you will
note a smaller patch the NFL shield on the jersey’s neckline. Most NFL uniforms
added the NFL logo patch to the neck and upper left thigh of the pants
beginning in 1991 - an exception being in 1994 when teams occasionally wore
"throwback" uniforms celebrating the NFL's 75th anniversary.
This blue jersey moves the player numbers
back to the shoulders, wile the Seahawks logo stays on the arms. If you look
closely, you will see the change on the mask of the helmet.
#11.
2000 The 1999 season saw the Seahawks
hire a new head coach, who after only a few season behind the bench, helped the
team to a record above .500 two out of three seasons. This season would see the
Seahawks finish in 4th place in the West with a 6-10 record.
The star of this years team was once again QB Jon Kitna, who passed for 2658
yards and 18 td’s.
If you look closely at this jersey, you will
note a smaller patch - the NFL shield - on the jersey’s neckline. Most NFL
uniforms added the NFL logo patch to the neck and upper left thigh of the pants
beginning in 1991 - an exception being in 1994 when teams occasionally wore
"throwback" uniforms celebrating the NFL's 75th anniversary.
If you look closely, you will also notice a
patch on the left side of the jersey. This was to celebrate the teams 25th
anniversary. The player numbers are situated on the shoulders, as well as the
front of this jersey. The Seahawks logo is on the arms, just above the green
and yellow stripes. If you look closely, you can see the change of the mask on
the helmet.
