Regarding the Wisconsin Blast (International Basketball League), their colors were a shade of green similar to (if not exactly) kelly green and black. I remember going to a couple of their games at the Brown County Arena (where UWGB played at the time), but they drew so few paid fans that they ended up finishing the season at a high school gym in Appleton.

EDIT: Found this link.

Lots of updates today:


I have also made a small but significant change to the swatch images themselves; I removed the hairline border around each color "chip"...personally, I feel the borders take away from the individual colors...I think it's cleaner without them. However, I'm displaying a border when representing White (e.g., R:255, G:255, B:255).

Here's an example of an image with the color borders:

...and here's one with them removed:

I made this brilliant (!) decision in the middle of these updates...the college sets (four-year schools beginning with A, B & C), and the more recent baseball updates (Golden, Hawaii Winter, Heartland and International) are the only ones with this change (yet).

I agree 110%. A border around white is completely understandable, but the other colors don't need a border, especially since the swatch border is white. Just my two cents.

The other thing I'm going to do is to remove some of the verbiage beneath the color chips when representing colors defined as part of a "Supporting Colors" set. I'm going to eventually come up with a set of "rules" per se regarding how I identify Primary Colors vs. Secondary Colors vs. Supporting Colors vs. Additional Colors vs. Alternate Colors, but I think it's fairly clear that "Supporting" colors are those that are used in logos/marks but not in a more dominant way.

For example, in that Toledo Mud Hens image, the "Marks" designations will be removed underneath the Yellow and Orange chips. I feel that simply defining them as "Supporting Colors" should clue the viewer into their usage.

...oh, and in case anyone's wondering, I'm already in the middle of regenerating the NHL swatch images. With the changes outlined above.

Just want to say how much I've enjoyed rediscovering your site over the last few days, Colorwerx. I've been putting together a complete NBA team history timeline, and it's been invaluable in getting the correct colours - saved me hours, if not days.

I appreciate the sentiment...sometimes I feel like I'm just doing all of this for myself...

...anyway, here's the latest:
