TruColor Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 Because there seems to be some confusion as to the current team colors in various leagues, I've generated the current color sets for all of the NBA teams.These swatches are similar to my Team Colors lists on the SSUR, but are individual .JPEGs for each team.These are (as always) derived from the actual Pantone colors, although I won't list the Pantone values for copyright reasons. These particular files reflect the "Solid Colors" - those colors that are used for print, and use the sRGB color space. They more accurately reflect how the Pantone colors should look on-screen. As opposed to the similated RGBs that Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop produce.If there's interest, I will post these in the same format for other leagues, and also for some of the other color types - Pantone Textiles, Production Colors, etc. Let me know what you think.Here's the current NBA teams - including Alternate Uniform Colors:Atlanta HawksBoston CelticsBoston Celtics - Alterniate Uniform ColorsCharlotte BobcatsChicago BullsCleveland CavaliersDallas MavericksDallas Mavericks - Alternate Uniform ColorsDenver NuggetsDenver Nuggets - Alternate Uniform ColorsDetroit PistonsGolden State WarriorsHouston RocketsIndiana PacersLos Angeles ClippersLos Angeles LakersMemphis GrizzliesMiami HeatMilwaukee BucksMinnesota TimberwolvesNew Jersey NetsNew Orleans/Oklahoma City HornetsNew York KnicksOrlando MagicPhiladelphia 76ersPhoenix SunsPortland Trail BlazersSacramento KingsSacramento Kings - Alternate Uniform ColorsSan Antonio SpursSeattle SuperSonicsToronto RaptorsUtah JazzWashington Wizards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See Red Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 Do you know if there's any plans for the Nuggets to change the "cobalt blue" in their current color scheme to the dark blue used on the alternate? Because there should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deliver2david Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 Not to be a pain but with Boston's new alts, isn't black more than just a primary logo color now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because there should be. No idea. I think the reason why they went with Navy Blue for the alt color has more to do with the fact that the NBA wouldn't let them have a Black alt.I agree though - standardize the Blues, and it would look better.

TruColor Posted April 1, 2006 Author Share Posted April 1, 2006 Not to be a pain but with Boston's new alts, isn't black more than just a primary logo color now? Probably. But what this shows is that Black is only an "Additional" color for their primary scheme. Make sense?I should create a new record for the Celtics' alternate uniforms...just show the Green, Black and White. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea. I think the reason why they went with Navy Blue for the alt color has more to do with the fact that the NBA wouldn't let them have a Black alt.I agree though - standardize the Blues, and it would look better. Well, in that case, thank you NBA for not letting them use black.I remember seeing a poll on nuggets.com (last year or the year before) and it was asking what color a Nuggets alternate uniform should be, and the options were gray, yellow, and black, I believe -- out of those, I voted yellow because it's an actual team color where as the other two just kind of come out of nowhere. I'm not so sure the cobalt blue would make a good alternate because it seems to me that with the shiny material they use, it wouldn't look much different than the light blue (alternate script aside).

ShinyHubCaps Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 In my opinion, it was much easier to click the link.Other than that, good work indeed. I figure you did that to make fun of how I didn't know the colors in the "alternate jersey" thread, but good job all the same! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
