WSU151 Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 2 hours ago, hawk36 said: I don't know if I've ever heard white referred to as a team's color in conversations. Like... Raiders are black, silver and white Steelers are black, yellow and white Seahawk are blue, green and white That just seems very odd to me. Maybe if a team only has one other color, like the Colts are blue and white, that may happen but I just don't see it otherwise. In these pro football books from the 1980s, they always included white as a color for the teams. (Nostalgic for those books. The 1985 handbook may be the first NFL book I ever had). Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawk36 Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Wow. Interesting. Never knew. I'm trying to think back to when I was working with sports teams and had the logo sheets with colors, etc. Maybe they did have "white" on the official logo sheets as one of the colors.

Dynasty Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 White is used by literally every team, making it like a neutral color. Seeing a team use it for Color Rush, when they may have other colors in their inventory to use that doesn't collide with their opponents', is dumb. Is it a safer option? Probably, but I don't like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WavePunter Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Check any of colorwerx's stuff, or that teamcolors.net or whatever and see if it lists white for most teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawk36 Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 So easy, every team could have used a non-white color uni this year: 9/15 – Jets (GREEN) at Bills (RED) 9/22 – Texans (RED) at Patriots (NAVY) 9/29 – Dolphins (AQUA) at Bengals (ORANGE) 10/6 – Cardinals (BLACK) at 49ers (RED) 10/13 – Broncos (ORANGE) at Chargers (ROYAL BLUE) 10/20 – Bears (NAVY) at Packers (YELLOW) 10/27 – Jaguars (BLACK) at Titans (LIGHT BLUE) 11/3 – Falcons (BLACK) at Buccaneers (RED) 11/10 – Browns (ORANGE) at Ravens (PURPLE) 11/17 – Saints (BLACK) at Panthers (CAROLINA BLUE) 12/1 – Cowboys (BLUE) at Vikings (YELLOW) 12/8 – Raiders (BLACK) at Chiefs (RED) 12/15 – Rams (NAVY) at Seahawks (NEON GREEN) 12/22 – Giants (RED) at Eagles (GREEN) 12/25 – Ravens (PURPLE) at Steelers (YELLOW) Design Hovie Studios Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, it's not exactly a small thing to complain about. If I were colorblind and watched that game, I'd be pissed to not be able to tell which team was which.

Dynasty Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Like I said, if you're going to have as big of an issue as colorblindness, then this whole experiment of theirs was bound to fail. Also to note that the Jets' Color Rush uniforms as seen colorblind don't really look any different from what they normally wear. Interesting.

crixus Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 I'm not a fan of the Color Rush uniforms. The Rams vs Bucs looked like Mustard vs Ketchup. I'm a Chargers fan and still prefer the Powder Blues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
