DCarp1231 Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Pretty simple explanation: Post facts and pictures about athletes who have not had any drastic changes of uniform in their careers. Examples- Alex Smith has only played for teams, college and professional, that use variations of red as the primary color. University of Utah, SF 49ers, KC Chiefs, and soon-to-be WAS Redskins. (Fact via @McCarthy) Sam Bradford has only played for teams in the NFL whose primary logos are not present on the helmets (STL Rams, PHI Eagles, MIN Vikings). Peyton Manning only played for teams, college and professional, whose colors consisted of Orange (University of Tennessee ), Blue (IND Colts), or both (DEN Broncos). Additionally, both Denver and Indianapolis have horse related nicknames. Please feel free to post any facts you find or know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerrylawless3 Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 I’ve always found it interesting that Tim Tebow went from Florida Gators orange and blue, to Denver Broncos orange and blue (only team he really had major playing time for), and then New York Mets orange and blue.

Similarily, Jay Cutler went from Denver (Navy and Orange) to Bears (Navy and Orange)...and I guess the Dolphins are Blue and Orange, granted its aqua blue but still Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good catch. To elaborate even further, when Cutler was traded for Kyle Orton, neither had to really change colors. Both the Broncos and Bears are Blue and Orange.

johnnysama Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Gary Carter and Keith Hernandez, teammates on the 1986 New York Mets World Series championship team, wore uniforms that had racing stripes on that at some point or another (in addition to the Mets, Carter played for the Montreal Expos when they had racing stripes, and Hernandez in his one season with the Indians in 1990, wore racing stripes as well).

DCarp1231 Posted February 4, 2018 Author Share Posted February 4, 2018 Kevin Shattenkirk, defenseman for the New York Rangers, has only played for teams who have blue in their color scheme (COL Avalanche, STL Blues, WAS Capitals, NY Rangers). 3 out of 4 have a color scheme of Red, Blue, and White (COL, WAS, NYR) Karl Alzner, defenseman for the Montreal Canadiens, used to play for the Washington Capitals. Both teams color scheme is Red, Blue, and White. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCarp1231 Posted February 6, 2018 Author Share Posted February 6, 2018 Albeit young careers, both Jared Goff and Keenan Allen played for University of California Berkeley (blue & gold) and both were drafted by California-based NFL teams sporting blue and gold color schemes.

UnclearInitial Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Albeit different shades of blue, Eli Manning has only played for Ole Miss and the Giants, which means he has only worn red, white and Blue Jerseys in his career, considering that he played in white during the crazy color pro bowl era. Additionally, both Ole Miss and the Giants wore Grey pants (at least for most of his career) and they both have a blue helmet with a single red stripe which obviously he also wore in the Pro Bowls he’s been to.

Between his two 76ers stints, The Nuggets, Pistons, and Grizzlies all use blue as their primary color. Coincidentally, as he got older, the shades got darker.

Chromatic Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 This one might be a bit esoteric as its not exactly a uniform similarity, but all four teams Trevor Linden played for during his NHL career (Canucks, Canadiens, Islanders & Capitals) have a nickname that is some sort of region specifier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
