However, it’s slightly less dumb for a baseball team. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurie's wife just did not want to call it pine green. Hell, I used to color the Packers that when I used to draw NFL teams back in 1994 during my 8th grade year.

Lurie's wife just did not want to call it pine green. Hell, I used to color the Packers that when I used to draw NFL teams back in 1994 during my 8th grade year. midnight is typically associated with dark-navy blue. The Eagles green has blue in it, making it a very dark blue green (albeit it looked darker on the original uniforms than on Nike's). "Midnight Green" is a very logical way to describe this color, even if there's other ways too. Calling it "pine green" is not accurate, as I haven't seen pines with blue in them. The Packers or Testaverde-era Jets are closer to "pine" green, even if they're more like a "forest green". Anything with green in it is going to look very different under different lighting, and is hard to match across different materials, so there may be some angles where Eagles look like a true "green", but I'm not sure there's anyone that wouldn't acknowledge that it's a blue-green, which is more evident in Nike's interpretation (which might not warrant the modifier "midnight", even if the helmet still does.) 2 1 Quote "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."

Hold on, you mean? Pine Green color hex code is #01796F (color-name.com) and this, Dark Pine Green color hex code is #193232 (color-name.com) Oh and here is forest green Forest Green color hex code is #228B22 (color-name.com) Dark Forest Green color hex code is #125D0D (color-name.com) Midnight green would be teal then if it's the bluish-green category. Dark teal category that is.

In sports color terms, it's actually not too far off from the Cowboys' old silvery-green-blue pants: See, that is what I thought. I always saw the Eagles with this type of green (albeit darker) which I alluded to with pine green being in between the teal/cyan and green family with only 30% green and 70% teal in it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Cunningham Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 There are certainly blue (or blue-tinted) conifers. (Though to be fair, that's a spruce, not a pine, and we're nothing if not pedantic here at CCSLC.) But I take @BBTV's point: in the context of color, "pine" certainly makes me think of dark green before any other color, including the bluer green that Philadelphia currently uses. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
