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.
Some fans questioned the jersey color scheme.
The team even changed its Twitter avatar to match the jerseys, which the Hawks wore during the early 1970s. %
