Hawks Use Retro Logo for Throwback Game; Fan Balks at Seahawks Similarities

The Atlanta Hawks' throwback night may have had one fan feeling a little superstitious on Friday the 13th.

The team is hosting a retro game against the Boston Celtics at Philips Arena, and players will be rocking jerseys like the 1970s gear. 

The only issue? The Hawks' old colors were blue and lime green...similar to the Seahawks', whom the Falcons will face Saturday in the NFL divisional round at the Georgia Dome. 

Twitter user Shaun Emmons questioned the uniform switch, and the Hawks took the time to respond:

"

@ATLHawks @Kixfair The color of that logo is pretty bad considering what is happening tomorrow at the dome, don't you think?

@ATLHawks Understood! Yes, GO FALCONS!
