Plus, my mentioning my alma mater was meant as a bit of a friendly jab at our Meatchickander pal. I got 'ya. I just don't normally associate "friendly" or "welcoming" with Buckeyes' attitudes toward us "scUM" fans. That said, anyone who quotes Paul Lukas is okay in my book and if I ever make it back down to Columbus, I hope to meet more fans like yourself. I'm not holding my breath tho.

I've always thought if the Grizzlies ever rebrand, brown, teal, and yellow, or black, teal and yellow would be a great color scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I've mellowed out a bit since I graduated. When I was a student I would've given you guys much more crap than this. Truth is, though, we're all human and we aren't here to have arguments about which school is the best. We're here to discuss the visual aspect of sports and find constructive criticism and feedback for our own ideas. Most of us on here seem to be more alike than different. I really only have one real-life friend who finds this stuff interesting, so this community has been very encouraging to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earlier in this thread I reposted SFGiants58's Grizzlies concept which was brown and teal (and I think yellow as tertiary). You should go back and look at it-it's a real beaut.

I guess purple was still a trendy color in 1996-97-ish (when the Diamondbacks' front office peeps would've been choosing the team's branding)? or the fact that then owner Jerry Colangelo also owned the Suns who have always worn Purple.

I've always thought the Hawks also did a good job with this color scheme.

I think they did better with that color scheme from 1992-95, in their last set before they went to the giant hawk and the gradient jerseys. Moreover, I wouldn't really consider red-yellow-black all that unusual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the jerseys were solely red and white (excluding the number outline), I assumed the school colors were just red and white. My mistake makes a little more sense when you look at this picture, where the M looks almost orange. It wasn't until Bobby Ross arrived that they starting using more of the black and gold . . . and the gold was only one jersey stripe. ^^^ still one of my favorites all-time uniforms. Notre Dame used the same jersey style during the Gerry Faust era . . . with a base blue color that was lighter than Notre Dame's tradition navy. So the M on the helmet in the first picture is actually supposed to be yellow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eRay Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 I always liked when the Nuggets participated in the NBA Green Week thing and had green jerseys. I like Green/Lt Blue/Yellow together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
