My first impression isn't good, either. Looks a little too Demonic. But it's better than the stoned seagull.

I think that if you're going to turn the logo into a more totem-styled image, you need to return to the stoned seagull...or, as I prefer to think of it, the more authentic Native style of art :-). I don't think the new logo looks good this way.

That old Hawks logo is still my favorite, probably in all of sports.

It's too cartoonish for my taste.

I understand how the first logo got its start, and as a rule, I wouldn't object to it if not for the fact that it's representing of a football team. It's not too dissimilar to Tampa Bay's original logo featuring the winking pirate. Rather than 11 men dressed in armor preparing to go into battle, it conjured up images of actors in a musical dancing around on a stage wearing leotards.

Comparing the winking pirate to the original Hawks logo?! You go too far, sir! :D

But I do get why lots of people didn't like the old Hawks logo. It certainly doesn't fit with the aesthetic of NFL teams.

I saw this yesterday and I don't get it. Why have an alternative logo at all, let alone this one? The original one is still my fave, too & I never saw a stoned seagul, I saw Native American art. I still do, and I like the meaner logo just fine. I think this thing is just weird looking, so they are obviously not trying to appeal to my demographic. Anyone know why we'd need an alternative logo?

I hope to one day refer to this time period as "remember when the Seahawks had that really stupid alternate logo for a week? "

Hate it.

Hey Seahawks, if you are looking for marketing ideas... bring back the classic uniform for throwbacks.

A quarter of our bandwagon fan base probably has no idea we used to wear silver helmets ...

It's not just the Hawks, it's the entire NFL. It's like they're throwing whatever chit on the wall they can find in the hope that some of it might stick.
