Offseason
The Seattle Seahawks hired Chuck Knox, a coach capable of bringing teams with comebacks. They also modified their uniforms, incorporating the Seahawks logo onto the jersey's sleeves. "TV numbers" were moved from the jersey's sleeves to the shoulders. The helmet facemasks became blue, and the socks were all blue. The uniform would remain basically unchanged through the 2001 season.
