Get ready, 12s, because Thursday night’s Week 6 game in Denver against the Broncos is going to be a sight we rarely ever see in the NFL: both teams will be rocking colored jerseys. It’s almost always one team in white on the field, but not this time.
This “Throwback Thursday” Is About To Be EPIC
This Week 6 matchup against the Broncos isn’t just a regular game, it’s setting up what’s easily the best jersey battle of the entire year. Both squads are leaning hard into an unofficial “Throwback Thursday” vibe, and we’re here for it! Denver is breaking out their iconic Orange Crush uniforms for the game. Talk about a good omen, too: they’ve worn those throwbacks five times since bringing them back in 2024 and are a perfect 5-0 in them. On our end, the Seahawks are rolling with that classic royal blue uniform, complete with a silver helmet, taking us straight back to the 1990s. It’s going to be color versus color out there, and trust me, you won’t want to miss it.
Our Hawks Are Bringing Back the 90s Royal Blue (Again!)
Our Hawks aren’t just wearing these incredible 90s throwbacks for one game. We’ll actually be rocking the royal blue jerseys in back-to-back games, sporting them again in Week 7 when we face the Chiefs. Don’t get too excited for another color-on-color showdown next week, though. Kansas City will be wearing white, so it’s back to normal. But for Thursday, it’s all about that classic royal blue clashing with the Broncos’ bright orange. Remember how good they looked last season? Our Seahawks wore these same throwbacks in three different regular-season games during their Super Bowl-winning 2025 season. Let’s hope that good juju carries over!
This Color-on-Color Showdown Is Even Rarer Than You Think
Seriously, folks, color-on-color games are a super rare treat in the NFL. Yeah, the league had a thing for it during the “Color Rush” years from 2015-2018, which gave us a bunch of these, but this Broncos-Seahawks game is a whole different beast. This isn’t some special Color Rush uniform thing; this is just classic color versus color. In fact, it’s only the fourth time since the start of the 2021 season that we’ve seen a non-Color Rush game with both teams in colored jerseys. And get this: it’s only the second time since the beginning of the 2024 season. The last time it happened was Week 15 of the 2025 season when the Falcons (in black) went up against the Buccaneers (in their iconic Creamsicle). Before that, it was Week 8 of the 2023 season, with the Falcons (again in black) playing the Titans (in baby blue Oilers uniforms). If you want to get super technical and argue black isn’t really a color (and hey, Adobe might back you up!), then this Broncos-Seahawks game is truly the first pure color-on-color game without a black jersey involved. That’s how special this is!
So, clear your schedules for Thursday night, 12s. It’s not just a Week 6 game; it’s a rare visual spectacle that the NFL hardly ever gives us. Enjoy every royal blue and silver moment before we’re back to a standard matchup against the Chiefs in Week 7. Go Hawks!
