Brave-Bird 08 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 A rundown of the Atlanta Hawks' color history -- I would venture to guess no professional sports team has changed colors more than them. Red // Sky Blue Blue // Green Red // Yellow Red // Black // Yellow Red // Blue // Grey Red // Volt // "Granite" I'd guess another change will come <5 years. The new scheme is quirky but wearing off on folks and not a hit with fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hormone Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Did I miss the orange, red, and white of Tampa to red and pewter (and black, silver, white, orange, reflective, chrome)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know there are a few teams that have traded in red, blue, white for green, black and white (as an example). But, there aren't many ... I think we’ve disproven the original premise by now. Teams who change their logo but not their colors are the exception, not the rule. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

That graphic really doesn’t tell the whole story, and it’s misleading because it factors in colors that only appear in logos - for example, the Phillies independence hall logo has green bushes in it, but nobody would claim that green was one of their colors.

hecticbro Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Seems like NBA teams do this all the time. I'd almost bet there are more teams in the NBA that have undergone a color (or even complete identity) change than not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Here's a question: of teams that have changed from their original colors in the modern era (so let's discount stuff like the New York NL Giants wearing purple or whatever), how many have been improvements? ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Even that's just a tertiary accent and the Jackets never stopped being a navy and red team. The only one I've got offhand is the Utah Jazz going from purple/yellow/green to purple/columbia/teal/copper. I think many would say the Buccaneers going from creamsicle and red to red/pewter/black/orange, but they are wrong; the Bucs are showing their age more than ever in the alarm clock era and seem to have had it right the first time after all. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M4One Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Tampa Bay Rays. What they have now is a huge upgrade over the green, which was an upgrade over their original set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCalderwood Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 I think the Utah Jazz would easily win this thread. Over the past 20 years alone, they have worn regular uniforms (meaning, actual primaries or alternates in their uniform lineup, and not throwbacks, fauxbacks, special occasions, retro mashups (like CavFanatics), or other one-offs) that have been: -black -white -yellow -green -light blue -dark blue -purple Now if you consider their current city uniforms to be primarily both red and orange (which I think is arguable), that means that they have basically had a regular jersey in their uniform lineup that was every color of the rainbow in the past 20 years alone. And again that's not just trim colors or anything like that, its the actual base color of the entire uniform. I can't think of any other team who comes close, especially in such a short amount of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
