Week 6 is getting a full-on retro treatment in Denver.
The Seahawks announced Tuesday that they’ll wear their 1990s-inspired throwback uniforms for Thursday Night Football against the Broncos, and Denver is joining in with its own throwbacks. That sets up a rare double-retro matchup between two teams with plenty of shared history from their AFC West days.
Seattle’s uniform combo will be the familiar royal blue jerseys, silver pants and silver helmets. The Broncos will counter with orange jerseys and blue helmets modeled after their 1977 team, the one that reached the Super Bowl for the first time in franchise history.
For Seahawks fans, the look is hardly new. Seattle already used those throwbacks in the 2024 season opener against Denver at Lumen Field, and Mike Macdonald’s first regular-season game as head coach ended in a 26-20 win. That result is part of a solid run in the uniforms since they returned in 2023.
The throwbacks first showed up in 2023 against the Cleveland Browns, and Seattle pulled out a memorable 24-20 comeback win after Jaxon Smith-Njigba scored the go-ahead touchdown late. The other throwback game that season came on the road against Dallas, where the Cowboys won a wild 41-35 Thursday night shootout.
In 2024, Seattle beat Denver before later falling 36-24 to the San Francisco 49ers on Thursday night. The uniforms then made three appearances during the Seahawks’ Super Bowl-winning 2025 season. The results came in waves: a 38-35 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, then a 38-14 road win over Washington and a 26-0 shutout of Minnesota.
That leaves Seattle with a 4-3 record in throwbacks overall.
Now the Seahawks get another shot to add to that mark, and the opponent fits the occasion. Denver was the team Seattle beat in the first throwback game of the Macdonald era, and this one should bring plenty of nostalgia under the Thursday night lights.

Anthony Bradford Just Made His Seahawks Feelings Clear Amid Guard Battle
Anthony Bradfords place in Seattle is getting more interesting by the day, and not just because of the new faces the Seahawks have brought into the guard competition. With the team adding draft picks up front, Bradford is trying to hold onto his spot while also making it clear he has more on his mind than just the next snap. He said he has not yet been approached about a contract extension, but his preference is obvious: he wants to stay in Seattle.
Bradfords comments fit the moment well. The Seahawks are sorting through a crowded battle inside, and the guard room is one of the spots where performance this summer could shape more than just the depth chart. For Bradford, the message was simple enough if an offer ever comes, he would be open to a long-term deal, which leaves his future tied to how he handles the competition in front of him. [Read more 🡒]
Jake Bobos Return Puts New Pressure On Seahawks Receiver Battle
Jake Bobo was back on the practice field Monday after missing nearly two weeks with a hamstring injury, and his return lands at a busy point in Seahawks camp. Bobo has long been more than just a name on a receiver depth chart for Seattle, where his blocking and experience have helped him carve out a regular roster spot even when the box score has not always done the talking.
His absence created a real opening for the rest of the wideout group, giving Ricky White III, Cody White, Montrorie Foster Jr. and Emmanuel Henderson extra chances to work with the offense and show what they can do before the preseason games begin. Those reps matter in a camp battle like this, especially for the younger receivers trying to separate themselves while Bobo works back into the mix. [Read more 🡒]
Jalen Milroe Just Landed A Bigger Seahawks Opportunity Than Expected
Jalen Milroe enters the Seahawks 2026 preseason as the third quarterback on the depth chart, which normally would point to a fairly limited role behind the veterans. But preseason is still where young passers can change the conversation, and Seattle has reason to keep a close eye on how Milroe handles his reps. He is expected to play primarily in exhibition action, the kind of stage that can look routine on paper but carry real weight for a player trying to carve out a longer-term path.
Mike Macdonald has already hinted the team may take a different approach this year with how it distributes quarterback snaps, which opens the door for more work than Milroe might have otherwise expected. He was the Seahawks most used quarterback in the 2025 preseason, and if he gets another meaningful run now, his performance could help shape how the team thinks about its future at the position.
