SFGiants58 Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 I don’t like the whole “every team in the city has the same color scheme” idea going beyond Pittsburgh, because it makes Pittsburgh’s teams seem less special in the Big Four landscape. Pittsburgh is a quirky place demographically (not quite Midwest, not East Coast, etc.), so it makes sense that the teams have the color scheme connection. New York’s blue/orange teams get a bit of a pass, seeing as how they’re only part of the municipality’s teams. It’s also cool when sports franchises share a common color in a city. Examples include yellow-gold in LA, green/teal in Seattle, and red in Atlanta. Having a bunch of cities go all-in on it make Pittsburgh and half of the New York teams seem less special, and I don’t like that.

This is a complete guess, but maybe they want a red identity for the arena (maybe with a naming rights partner they're not quite ready to announce yet?), and they just haven't gotten around to team branding yet? The NHL team is not the total reason for the arena, so it wouldn't surprise me for the building to have its own brand. The Sabres' arena built in the 90s had its own blue/light blue/purple scheme, separate from both the team and the bank sponsor. You forgot Panthers, Senators, Blackhawks, Capitals, Blue Jackets (w/ red accents), and Vegas Golden Knights (w/ red accents)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KittSmith_95 Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 If Seattle were to go with Sea Lions, would anyone be upset if the colour scheme was Red/Brown? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozzyman314 Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 I was just thinking, there isn’t too much Brown is the league. Brown & Blue? Maybe Green? Red Sox: 8 Celtics: 17 Bruins: 6 Patriots: 5 Phantom Merch Collector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For Seattle though? Eh...too many jokes given how close the Canucks would be. @LMU's right to point out that Foley was dumb to name his team "Knights" when the Kings are within driving distance. Wait - does anybody seriously think that’s a problem? I have plenty of problems with the name, but that sure isn’t one of them. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

M4One Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Powdered blue and black. I think it's a nice look that would be unique to the league and city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBGKon Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Powder blue would be great, but not with black. I've always been a fan of powder blue, dark green, and sandy gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJ Sands Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 I did a Seattle Emeralds for NHL 18 using green and silver with basic Northwestern stripes and it was pretty decent. That wouldn't be an awful color scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm picturing Wreck-It Ralph here, living inside wires and junk. What kind of importer-exporter deals in jersey concepts that are almost certainly just digital files at this point? And hypothetical hockey team names? Also, I'm pretty sure that's a terrible color scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
