ATLANTA — The Atlanta Hawks hosted a throwback night against the Boston Celtics on Friday and wore retro blue and green jerseys.
The timing, however, may have been a little off.
The Seattle Seahawks, whose uniforms are a similar blue and lime green color combo, are in Atlanta to face the Falcons in the NFL divisional playoff round on Saturday at the Georgia Dome.
