B-Rich Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Around the time they switched affiliation to the Astros for a few years, the New Orleans Zephyrs changed their original "Denver Zephyrs" shades of royal blue and kelly green to navy blue and pine green. It looked far too dark and had little contrast or pop. it didn't even look good on a traditional white baseball uniform: The Hartford Whalers had done a similar switch near the end of their tenure in Connecticut, darkening their green and blue (and adding silver), but it wasn't nearly as dark as this. It is what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coacher42 Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 My least favorite (and someone said it earlier in this thread as well) is blue, red, and black. Next would be navy blue and black, a la Butler basketball uniforms. After that, it is anything with brown. I know that may upset some Padres, Wyoming Cowboys, Cleveland, Bowling Green, Tufts, etc. fans. Sorry. I just don't get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glover Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Any combination of dark and light blue just looks horrible to me. Two of the pro sports franchises in Tennessee are guilty of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colinturner95 Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Navy Blue and Yellow. I don't know why. Maybe I play against too many teams in hockey with that same color scheme but I can't stand it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The colour scheme can work well but the Grizzlies' look horrible with the shade of light blue and the random gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popmart Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 I just can’t get on board with the orange trim. The previous colour scheme wasn’t as bright, but I prefer the teal, silver, and black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Wolf Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 18 hours ago, Chromatic said: 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. This reminds me of when people used to say teams wearing orange looked like pumpkins. It was like somebody made a dumb analogy and then all of the dumb people latched onto that dumb analogy and parroted it for a while. I don't think I've seen anybody say that for a while, but it feels like it used to happen all the time. There's plenty of anger on these boards for random black uniforms, but the worst is when the black is paired with already dark colors, especially when they make the numbers the dark color so that they're unreadable. Washington Huskies football wearing black jerseys with purple numbers, or Mississippi State doing the same with maroon numbers, for instance.

The_Admiral Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 I believe just about any palette can work with the right application, but I think the only time I've ever said "this is a problem that can't be overcome" about a color palette was the purple and kelly green Milwaukee Bucks. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilSox Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Red and green, and navy and forest green are the ones that immediately come to mind for me for theor lack of contrast. The purple and forest that the Bucks wore in the 90s and 2000s is another example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prince Harry Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 I’ll just say I have a love/hate relationship with royal blue and red together. There’s too much contrast a lot of the time and it can hurt to look at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Navy is already overused, and light blue doesn't really add to the look. Navy and teal like the Mariners looks a lot better, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VikingsAiden Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 The one that I've really never liked is the Ducks' gold/orange/black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMU Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 If we're extending this to proportion in addition to colors I'll throw the Rockies out there. Even with the lighter purple the set, especially the fonts, is so black-silver dominant that the little bit of purple is lost and a complete waste. The 25th anniversary hats are almost a joke since all they do is rip away what little purple is left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
