Chromatic Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 The Grizzlies had one of my favourite colour schemes in all of sports. Teal, Black, Red look surprisingly awesome together. The only semi-relevant sports club currently wearing those colours is a junior hockey team. It's unique, it looks good together, and for the Grizzlies, it really fit the Pacific Northwest theme. If by some miracle Vancouver ever gets an NBA team back, regardless of what its called, I'd be really disappointed if they didn't use these colours again. I've also got my fingers crossed the Seattle NHL expansion club uses something similar, as it would fit them well too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echo Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 The IHL's Detroit Vipers (the last pro team that Gordie Howe ever suited up for) wore teal, black and red (with a touch of athletic gold). They looked pretty good in their day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But no sports team I know of has ever had it Tufts has it but underutilizes it in favor of gray in their identity it appears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sucks and looks so mundane. I want them to embrace the orange and white completely, for a Tennessee-esque look, perhaps while maintaining our darker orange. No navy, no black, no gray, just orange and white. It's a beautiful combo IMO. Wouldn't mind seeing a pro team give it a shot either. Pretty much any color paired with just white makes for a great color scheme. Always bothers me when colors get added endlessly and you end up with a muddled palate and no distinct identity. I'd love to see it happen (again) too...but unfortunately I believe the last semblance of that colorway as a primary look died in 1997; doubtful it'll ever return. *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 January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Brown and light blue would be perfect for the Memphis Grizzlies and they won't do it! ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The closest we have are the Daytona Tortugas. I agree it's a great color combination. This should've been the Devil Rays color scheme on their second round of uniforms, but they went too dark and too muted with both colors. My middle school was painted in these colors and I've wanted a pro team to try burgundy and teal for forever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purple+teal, burgandy+teal, maroon+light blue are all gorgeous and underutilized IMO. It's a shame Philly has refused to go the maroon route, but I guess we need at least 70% of the MLB looking patriotic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wade Heidt Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 A brown uniform with silver trim could look pretty darn good. Nobody seems to wear that colour scheme today that I am aware of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whittier S Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 One of my workout outfits is a salmon shirt, charcoal shorts, and olive shoes. I think that color combination would be great for a team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely catches the eye. There's also an apartment complex whose sign is maroon, teal, and something in between yellow and gold - I'd say it's closer to gold but it isn't metallic.

I read it in a book somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I think we can all safely ignore your worthless suggestions. /s Has any team done a one-off Tropics night? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
