The odd color out for the Yankees is royal blue. And before that, light blue. They've never incorporated either shade into uniforms. Old stadium at least had the royal blue. That’s gotta count for something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you want?” team: yes Yup - nothing for the team to be proud of there. That was not one of the better uniforms the Tiger-Cats ever wore. Present ones definitely an upgrade to that mess.

Been trying to engage Chris on Twitter, but no luck. @Chris Creamer, I would love to help update these pages (I bet I can find a dozen errors on the Brewers and Packers pages, and that’s just because they’re the teams I know best). No offense intended - I know most of the problems come from the leagues and teams themselves. They’ve been poor stewards of their own history, but we can help do better.

Cosmic Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 The blue/gold Sabres logo has had a red eye more often than not. The only time they’ve worn red was under a different logo set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was a kid, I had a white shirt that had the Yankee bat-and-hat logo on the front and red raglan sleeves. I remember the day that I got the shirt, which would have been in 1973 or 1974. The store had Yankee shirts with the numbers 15 and 1 (I got one with number 15), and Met shirts with the numbers 3 and 41 (my brother got one with number 3). The Yankee shirts had red sleeves and the Met shirts had blue sleeves. I don't think I have seen a red-based Yankee item since then. (I am not referring to fashion hats, which come in all colours, but to items that use red as a team colour.) Could you imagine the Yankees having red numbers in front of the jerseys like the Dodgers?

Mr. Krabs Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 The Steelers were always a prime example of this for me. The red and blue diamonds are prominent in their logo, but it is not in their color system. Just the yellow. What gives? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The three hypocycloids on the logo represent the three materials used to produce steel, with yellow for coal, orange for iron ore and blue for scrap steel.

The Steelers' logo is a takeoff of what was at the time the logo of the U.S. Steel Corporation. The franchise asked for and was granted permission to use it.

MCM0313 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Not their current logo, but the Spurs' old "fiesta" logo is such an iconic example of this that I'm surprised it hasn't yet been mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn’t - they dropped the yellow, moved gold up in its place, and added red. I seem to recall reading that the yellow wasn’t visible at distance, they wanted more contrast with the white background. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.
