MCM0313 Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 I can't do it visually but I'll give you the RGB values per trucolor.net (formerly ColorWerx): Titans blue (actual name): 65-143-222 Teal (Jaguars) - evidently unchanged from last set: 0-98-114 Aqua (Dolphins): 0-140-149 Powder blue (Chargers): 0-114-206 Panther blue (Carolina, of course): 0-133-202 And, for good measure, the Eagles' shade of TEAL that they call midnight green: 0-72-81 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigerraven Posted October 11, 2018 Author Share Posted October 11, 2018 thank you. very interesting. So here's my follow up question.......why would a NFL franchise want to be so "indistinguishable" from another in it's color scheme? In the league....your brand is your money. Have any of these teams played each other in a game where they both wore the predominant "blue"? Seems like it would be a mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagel Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Typically, the away team in the NFL will wear their white jersey. For example, here's the Panthers vs Lions where the Panthers are the away team: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eRay Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 I don't think it's as much of a mess as you'd think. These are probably the most egregious examples of these team colors being too similar. I still think they each have something that sets them apart. Predominantly black or navy teams play eachother all the time and nobody complains.

CaliforniaGlowin Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 The Color Werx version of powder blue looks kinda dark. Maybe it's lighter in pictures because of lighting or sun? Last updated 2/26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgentColon2 Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 These two wear almost identical colors, but there’s enough in the uniforms to differentiate them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can tell the difference in the colors by the helmet sheen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dynasty Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 I knew the Dolphins' aqua was closer to blue than green, though I don't believe it's always been like that. In some lighting, it looked near seafoam during the 90's, but again, it's lighting so I'm not entirely sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyersfan Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 When there’s 32 teams, colors will repeat themselves. But not all these colors are primary colors, don’t forget that. Chargers and panthers both only wear light blue as alts anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverBullet1929 Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 I think aqua and teal are green enough to easily be separated from the bunch. It's always irked me when people just say blue to describe aqua or teal. Put aqua or teal next to a blue and I the difference is very noticeable.

pagan696 Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 agree. we have "Carolina Blue" that can mean "Tar Heel Blue" or "Panther Blue". and going back to the 1st time around w Hornets "teal" how folks would call it aqua.

SealsFan Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 In the 70's, the California Seals called this "Pacific Blue". Unusual shoulder stripes for a hockey uniform. When I went to see them play the Islanders at the Coliseum, a security guard said, "here come the Miami Dolphins" as they were coming up the ramp onto the ice.

There’s a difference between the team colors used in websites, the team colors used in print applications, and the team colors used in fabrics. Sometimes the difference is subtle, other times less so. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
