I remember when the Blue Wahoos first unveiled their identity. I was initially taken aback by the inclusion of pink (well, they call it "Bright Rose") into the colorway...but it grew on me EXTREMELY quick. Their rose-billed alternate cap is my personal favorite--not just of the wahoos--and naturally I own one of each--but of my entire cap collection. (So much so my wife even found me a similarly-colored polo to match!) *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Not crazy about pink as a sports color, though I like light pink dress shirts. However, the Calgary Hitmen should absolutely be in hot pink and black all the time. There's no acceptable alternative. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Mens's sports" doesn't factor into it. Well, I did say there are a FEW that pink in their color scheme works for them. Cerezo Osaka had some gorgeous looking kits in the past using pink and purple. As for the women's vs. men's argument...I never made that a factor. It's just there are a lot of teams, in this thread, that look like the bottom of 3rd graders desk...if you known what I mean.

SFGiants58 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Let's also remember that the Mets nearly went with black and pink as their color scheme (now with a mockup of the uniform): MLB: Project 32 (Complete), MLB: The Defunct Saga (Complete) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 A bold pink could absolutely work as a major league sports color. Pretty much any bold color can. A pastel or light or "faded" pink simply wouldn't - but that goes for (IMO) a lot of colors, not just pink. Pink can look very feminine, but it can also look just as bold and intimidating as any other color when used correctly. If a team treats it as a joke and puts their players out there in pink for a night, and they're all laughing about it, then it becomes a joke. If a team takes it seriously and makes it their color and their players embrace it, then even the most neanderthal of fans will buy in.

Dynasty Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 The only pink I like is magenta, and it has to be paired with either navy, aqua (teal), or black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Scorcho Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 I think pink works in the same way teal does, in that it shines as a secondary colour against predominant black. Pink is an excellent sports colour IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DEAD! Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 I can't think of another team that has embraced pink as much as French rugby side Stade Francais. https://www.google.ca/search?q=stade+francais&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjPoaPbjtjVAhVsxoMKHZrQCo4Q_AUIDCgD&biw=1204&bih=823 I saw, I came, I left.
