What transpired in 2012 for the Seattle Seahawks was nothing short of electric and awe-inspiring. From the emergence of a wavy-haired rookie quarterback from Wisconsin/NC State to the Skittles-loving dreadlocked beast of a tailback, to the hail-mary catch that was(n't), to the shit-talking cornerback we all grew to hate love and a head coach who looked like he listened to James Brown 24 hours a day...we'd never seen anything like what happened up there in the Pacific Northwest before.
And then there was those dope ass uniforms.
Sometimes a new coat of paint can change a bleak outlook on things quickly, and the Seahawks transformed from NFC West afterthoughts to challenging the NFL's top dogs for #1 status. The Jacksonville Jaguars, Miami Dolphins and Minnesota Vikings are all hoping for a similar turnaround in 2013.
All three teams unveiled their new uniforms to the general public either online or during the 2013 NFL Draft, as players like Luke Joeckel, (TONY BOSELLI 2.0 TO THE JACKSONVILLE NALAS BABY, WOOOO!) Dion Jordan and Xavier Rhodes flossed the new jerseys at Radio City Music Hall as they took their talents to their new NFL teams.
So this question of the day is kind of a two-parter. First, who's uniforms are the dopest? Secondly, which, if any, of these teams are capable of making a Seahawk leap next season to being a real contender next season? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section, as I pray that the Jacksonville Nalas can be terrible enough to bring Teddy Bridgewater to Duval in the 2014 NFL Draft. Lettuce pray.
