In any case, the original Panthers jerseys had the same stripe pattern. I believe Colorado was still wearing powder blue in 1983, and the stripes looked more like the Oakland Invaders than Michigan Panthers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "source of truth" when it comes to colors, are the Pantone values. RGB/Hex and CMYK values are just simulations of the Pantone colors. They can change and/or diverge based on a lot of variables, including color profiles, color spaces, CIE-Lab measurements, etc. Personally, I've been getting a lot of questions about hex values lately which I find a bit odd. As soon as Pantone comes out with a new guide that uses a different paper stock, all of the RGB/hex and CMYK values are going to change. Still, these are a good way to approximate colors, but they aren't the end all. Question - would the hex value references on trucolor.net be accurate representations of what colors should be displayed on a computer screen [at least for comparison purposes]? I realize Pantones are for printed papers, etc. Quote I just love penguins......always dressed for the occasion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EJ_Barlik Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Has anybody seen (yet) good graphics of the USFL team primary and secondary logos?? I'm not getting very far on google search and other "regular methods". Maybe they are too new? And when I say good, I mean: non-jpg (I HATE .jpg with a passion for logos because of the blasted grainy-ness) non-small (i.e., I define small as 800x800 or less, given today's 4K and higher monitors) Quote I just love penguins......always dressed for the occasion.

We're a quarter-century removed from "Bullets" and several years from the Calgary Stampeders using crossed pistols as an alternate logo. I do love the Gunslingers uniforms. I love the green, blue, and silver combo with white numbers and facemask! True the logo could use some work, but everything else is solid! I think that if/when the USFL wants to return to San Antonio, and I think they will given how much that city loved their Commanders, they can bring back the color scheme, but could change the name up. Simply going with "Slingers" might work, or some other wild west variation. Marshalls, Rangers, etc. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're a quarter-century removed from "Bullets" and several years from the Calgary Stampeders using crossed pistols as an alternate logo. Here's what I don't like: - The logo is hilarious and every detail is tiny. - With some exceptions across football I prefer the helmet to be either a lighter color like a metallic, a yellow, or white. If the helmet is going to be a dark color I prefer when it either matches the jersey color or is darker than the jersey color, like the Jaguars or the Ravens. Green lid on top of a blue jersey on top of gray pants on top of white socks is just a lot of different elements all at once. - The original Seahawks balanced the colors better. - I think the Washington R******s template is one of the best football uniform templates ever designed, but those colors don't work with it and normally I love blue and green. I think blue and green is sort of a weird choice for that nickname and city. Is there some reason they used blue and green that I don't know about? Because the Dallas Mavericks also used it around that time. It doesn't feel very western or rustic to me. The colors the WLAF Riders wore feel more appropriate. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschoolvikings Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 I love that Gunslingers uniform. That said, I can't defend it in any way, and I'd never try to tell you it's well designed. I guess to me it's like the Orlando Thunder and the California Golden Seals... A guilty pleasure. 5 Quote http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you mean. I also think it’s kind of a lost color palette in the pro sports landscape. Other than the Canucks, is there a major league team that uses royal blue and green as its primary colors any more? (Legitimate question; I may be overlooking something.) Since the Seahawks, Mavericks and T-Wolves have largely abandoned those colors, it feels like an under-used palette. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USFL replicas are selling for $80 on their online shop. There's no actual pics of them though, just graphics, and they show some differences from the actual unveiled jerseys. So you may want to hold off until actual product photos start hitting. 3 Quote On 1/25/2013 at 1:53 PM, 'Atom said: For all the bird de lis haters I think the bird de lis isnt supposed to be a pelican and a fleur de lis I think its just a fleur de lis with a pelicans head.

EJ_Barlik Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Interestingly enough, Fox Sports has left a mack truck-sized hole in their website graphic security. Apparently, all the USFL "combo" logos can be had in 5000x5000 size in .PNG format (albeit not color optimized). just insert the team's last name starting with a capital letter where I have "Team" (e.g., Stars, Panthers, Maulers, etc.) https://b.fssta.com/uploads/application/usfl/team-logos/Team.vresize.5000.5000.medium.0.png 1 2 Quote I just love penguins......always dressed for the occasion.

I just wish they posted all the graphics (primaries, secondaries, tertiaries) up "somewhere" instead of just the "combo" logos. Chalking it up to wishful/hopeful thinking at this point.
