NFL team season
The 1983 Seattle Seahawks season was the team's eighth season with the National Football League .
The 1983 season was the first season head coach Chuck Knox coached the team. It was also the first season in which the Seahawks made the AFC playoffs , where they won the first two postseason games in franchise history, before losing in the AFC Championship Game . The AFC Championship game against the Raiders would be the only time the Seahawks would appear in the AFC Championship game, as they failed to appear in one from 1984 to 2001. They would not reach a conference championship again until 2005 , when they were in the NFC West.
Offseason [ ]
The Seattle Seahawks hired Chuck Knox, a coach capable of creating comebacks for teams. They also modified their uniforms, incorporating the Seahawks logo onto the jersey's sleeves. The TV numbers were moved from the jersey sleeves to the shoulders. The helmet facemasks became blue, and the socks became all blue. The uniform would remain basically unchanged through the 2001 season .
