Teams that pull off generic colors

[pelicanfan]

I’d say in the nba the 76ers pull it off better than the clippers and pistons.

Red and blue thematically fit a team named for American independence. Not so much boats and car parts. Honestly, if the Pistons wanted a color scheme that fits the name, they'd go for a really drab, early '00s-esque look. I'm thinking black, navy, and Vegas gold.

 

Speaking of teams wearing black, it has to be said: the Raiders.

What's a generic color scheme?

Is blue & white generic? Because if so I really like the Indianapolis Colts' identity. It's simple yet still clean and classy. 

[Pengin.]

I wonder if generic is the wrong term. Maybe common would be the right term. Like a Red/White/Blue color scheme can be considered common across all sports. Sixers may have designed a better identity off those colors than say the Pistons.

Common colors would be much better than generic, speaking of, somehow both the Tigers and Yankees pull off Navy and White

An awesome uni that isn't talked about enough. The black alts are even better.

I can understand using RWB if the team has a patriotic theme, or the B/W for the White Sox, but a lot of teams could do better. For an old team there were limited colors available and tradition keeps them as is.

That's somewhat true.  Penn State's original colors were Pink and Black.

I can’t imagine a team named the Orange not wearing, well, orange. That was a great change.

Penn State blue and white is undefeated. Best unis in sports (biased of course but im sure im not the only one)

and best r-w-b has to be philly. again, maybe its bias but thats how i see it

Seems so obvious, doesn't it?

[CaliforniaGlowin]

It kills me that a team that used to have pink and black now has navy and white.   That's like a total 180.

[Gothamite]

They’d be better off in their original colors.

Or a team called the Browns not wearing brown.

There are brown helmet/jersey/pant stripes and brown socks. Their primary home jerseys are also brown.

 

This doesn't compare.
