verno Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 Has this been done? I dunno, let's go!! I really dislike red and green as any team's primary, too Christmasy!! And l will also state that l may prefer the New Jersey Devils in red and green, it is unique in the NHL (aside from the Wild) to red and black.

FinsUp1214 Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 I’m sure there’s a bunch of random colors you could generate into a bad combo, but of ones that are or have been used in sports? I can’t stand powder blue and gold together. They’re both too bright to coexist and battle to compete for attention when they are the only two colors. It bugs my eyes out. Either one of those colors do work with a darker color like royal/navy blue or red, but they just don’t work together for me. Never have. Yes, that includes the Chargers. Now, when navy is THE primary color, powder blue and gold CAN work as secondary accents, a la the Nuggets alternate in the late 00’s. However, even then, you have to be very careful with the application - if the powder blue touches the gold, it muddles into a sage color from a distance. That’s harmed both the Chargers and, most recently, the Nuggets this past year. So you’ve got to use it correctly and with caution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway I LOVE red and green. In fact the original Devils red jersey is my favorite NHL jersey ever. I think my least favorite often-used combo is purple and black.There's just not enough contrast between those colors. The Ravens helmet stripes barely show up.

Chromatic Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Honestly never understood the Christmas criticism of red and green. Nobody rags on Orange and Black for being Halloween colours, or purple and gold for being Easter colours. As far as my least favourite, it would probably have to be red and grey/silver, as in Ohio State or the old Atlanta Falcons uniforms. I can't quite put my finger on why, but it just creates a look that for some reason strkes me as simultaneously dreary and clashing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSU151 Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Any time a team chooses dark drab colors over brighter colors is usually the worst. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFGiants58 Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 My least favorite is easily purple/black/silver. It just looks so dull, especially when the purple is too dark or too blue to contrast with the black. The silver doesn’t do much to lighten up the color scheme, often fueling the muddy mess. Similarly, royal/yellow/red is a terrible color scheme for a sports team, because it is so difficult to pull off in an aesthetically-pleasing fashion.

Morgan33 Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 My least favorite scheme involves the three primary colours on one uniform. It's just garish That being said, if you change the Royal Blue to Navy it can work quite well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the amount of purple and gold in my closet right now, I know what I'm wearing next Easter. Which is actually my niece's birthday, so I might wear something different, depends on the type of party she has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C-Squared Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 I have never fully understood why the Devils wore green in the first place... in what way does green tie into their identity? Is it a nod to something regional? Was it simply to be different? I generally dislike powder blue and red together. I was a huge fan of the Titans first uni set when they first came out in large part because red was reduced a subtle accent color.

imawalkingcorpse Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 The blue and orange combo is always a bad look. I hate the new Buccaneers logo. Pewter was boring in 97, even more boring now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GriffinM6 Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Royal blue, red, and black is pretty much the only color combo I don't like. Many teams have bad logos or don't use their color schemes correctly, but I still like 95% of the color palettes I see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZapRowsdower8 Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Add my vote to red and green. The Wild have never looked good IMO. Darker shades of blue and black also look bad. Think the 2001-2011 Lightning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CS85 Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 I've never liked when hockey teams go too much toward navy/black without a healthy dose of contrasting colorful compliments. The early 00's Oilers scheme is easily the most lifeless look I've seen perhaps ever. Quote "You are nothing more than a small cancer on this message board.
