Give us the Reddit rumors and the rest of the juicy details you’ve learned. Grey & Athletic Gold additions…or is that Athletic Gold actually truly Orange? Shifting from Cardinal Red to a deeper, darker shade, almost Maroon? Definite facemask change? Don’t hold out on us. In your eyes, athletic gold is orange, but you need to realize that orange is more balanced yellow and red. Athletic gold is 65% to 80% yellow.

Not sure how much you've heard about the Panthers but - are the Panthers' draft hats placeholders or are they keeping the color scheme? the user formerly known as cdclt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, there was some debate on a Cardinals forum as the Reddit leaker was calling it Orange and mocked it up as such, but @TruColor suspected that he was misinterpreting Athletic Gold for Orange. I don’t know what the current consensus is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is a good move for the Cardinals to take a leap into new colors. Execution sounds like it might be wonky, but I’m looking forward to it. Either way, with the coach/GM change and then a big brand update, it’ll help reinvigorate the franchise and the fanbase. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tBBP Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 Well then...[something that looks like] maroon and [something that looks like] orange...if nothing else it'd instantly be, at least on the surface, one of the more unique colorways in pro sports. (Also, I 100% believe desert gray or whatver they're gonna call it will somehow be present in the new brand, as well.) Doesn't surprise me that they'd go for a darkened red—it syncs up with the Coyotes' and DBacks' sedona-ish red, as well. And of course, being that this is the era of The Swoosh...I wouldn't be the slightest bit surprised if that design team saw that picture of the pyrrhuloxia (sp?), saw the colors of its plumage, flew back up to Beaverton and started cooking up their own special blend of seasonings in their lab. All that said: this is either gonna be really good, or really not good... 6 *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...

BBTV Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 Really looking forward to this. Maroon/orange/white/gray could be awesome... if they keep it simple and don't go super wild with fonts and panels. The sample jerseys posted suck - that font is ridiculous, even if it's only showing the 1. Get rid of the helmet stripe, make the face mask maroon (or white.. don't matter), and maybe make the white sleeve stripe gray, and this works for me. 5 1 "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

White helmets are coming back Facemask is not gray (though with this rumored color palette, gray might not look that bad) Maroon, orange and gray could very well be the new colors Metallic flake will be used (we just don't know what color) The number font might be the current font, just poorly illustrated in the tweet. Assuming a maroon cardinal head on a white helmet, possibly with an orange facemask. 3 Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

Survival79 Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 So... from this to this? It's not as drastic as I thought it would be. Although it sounds like the colors will be distributed differently in the new identity. I always imagine the Cardinal Red being so much brighter than it really is. 10 "If things have gone wrong, I'm talking to myself, and you've got a wet towel wrapped around your head."
