Slater Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 http://www.chargers.com/history/uniforms.cfmI was reading the history of the Chargers' uniforms on the above team site. Was the "Collegiate Blue" shade ever used by any other NFL team at any time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapshot Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 The Houston Oilers wore Columbia blue, which is close to Collegiate ("Dennis") blue. Columbia might be a little bit lighter, enough to notice the difference. Detroit also wears a lighter shade of blue, Honolulu blue, but I think it's also darker than San Diego's.

Yes, Honolulu blue is a bit darker. Beautiful color though, shame to see the black in that set Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruColor Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 We had a thread about this a few months ago, and I put this together in order to show the differences:Remember that these shades get changed all the time. For example, the Lions' Honolulu Blue has changed twice since the late '80s...so has the Dolphins' Aqua. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapshot Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 By Pantone's chart, I'd say that the Carolina Panthers' blue is the closest to San Diego's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
