Seahawks find it wasn't easy being green
SEATTLE (AP) - Finally! A reason to look forward to the rest of the Seahawks' lost season, and to 2010: Those hideous, neon-green game jerseys are goners.
Coach Jim Mora said Wednesday the eyesores "have been retired," after just one appearance.
The Seahawks were panned from Maine to Maui for wearing them during a home loss to the Chicago Bears on Sept. 27. They haven't been seen since.
Mora chooses the uniforms combinations the team wears each week, with input from the players.
Asked why he's saying goodbye to the green, the coach said "we didn't win in them" and that he likes the traditional Seahawks' blue better.
He does like another change made recently - wearing the blue, "home" pants under white jerseys while on the road.
