Michigan State revealed its new 2019 alternate football uniform Saturday, and it is ... very green.

What you see is not Michigan State's permanent uniform (thankfully), but rather an alternate uniform for 2019. It features an oversized "STATE" on the front along with large numbers. The "STATE" is displayed with a neon-green color, which is also seen on the pants and in the logo on the helmet.
Overall, the unis received a negative reaction from fans. One Twitter user asked, "Candidate for the worst jersey of all time?" Another simply said, "These are brutal."
But among the mostly negative reactions, another response emerged: Are those Seahawks gloves?
The neon green coloring on these uniforms definitely reminds of Seattle's color scheme, especially the Seahawks' neon-green color rush uniforms. But if you zoom in on Michigan State's gloves, you can see what looks like a Seahawks logo.
Nike designed Michigan State's uniform, and it also designs NFL uniforms.
It is possible that it is not a Seahawks logo since you lose a lot of image quality by zooming in so far. But it definitely looks like a Seahawks logo.
UPDATE: Turns out it is a Seahawks logo.
A Michigan State spokesperson told The Detroit Free Press "MSU's gloves were not ready when the new uniform was photographed." So Nike apparently improvised and found a similar-looking glove. Per the spokesperson, the Spartans' gloves will be ready in the fall.
