Answer The Seattle Seahawks have retired four numbers in their history. The first number they have retired is the number 12 in 1984, which represents the "12th Man", the amazing fans of the Seattle Seahawks who year in and year out cause the most false start penalties in the NFL at Qwest Field and in the Kingdome, and for their short two year time in Huskies Stadium. The number 12 was retired to honor the fans, and the flag representing the 12th Man is raised before every home game by an honorary guest, including Ichiro Suzuki, Mack Strong, and Paul Allen just to name a few.
Number 80 for wide receiver Steve Largent was retired in 1996. When Jerry Rice joined the team in the 2004 season, Largent's number 80 was unretired with Largent's permission. When Rice left the team during the offseason for the Denver Broncos, the number 80 was re-retired.
Offensive Tackle Walter Jones' number 71 was retired in 2010.
And finally, number 96 was retired for Defensive Tackle Cortez Kennedy in 2012.
