Tygers09 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Is it me or does it seem like sport teams aren't using Kelly Green as much as they use to? I mean the Eagles changed to Midnight Green, the Seattle dropped it from their main color scheme. The Jets went to Hunter Green, On the flip side the Canucks added it with blue to their main colors. Thankfully the CFL Roughriders still use it. Anyone care to comment or suggest this reasoning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teal Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Kelly green is a great colour and more teams need to adapt it. Jaguars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Couldn't agree more. I was thrilled when the Cosmos brought Kelly green back to NYC:It's a great color, and deserves more play.

TruColor Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Well, essentially the Dallas Stars brought it back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artmanc3po Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 The Oakland Athletics ain't as kelly as they used to be, either. Somewhat darker than the 60s/70s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sozopol Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Maybe one issue is that, for football and soccer at least, it blends with the grass background and is more difficult to see-- a problem for teammates, especially in sports when split-second reactions are crucial. As a Jets fan I seem to remember some player or coach back in the kelly green era complaining about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wonderbread Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 i personally never liked kelly green too much. It's just too bright, and looks bad in outdoor games on grass, oakland A's are about the only outdoor team i liked in kelly because the yellow went with it really well, i like the stars in kelly because the white ice is a good back drop and same with celtics because of the hardwood. i really thought the kelly throwbacks the eagles wore a few years ago looked really bad, a lot worse than the currents, and think the eagles should go with a forest or hunters green rather than any other color they have worn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember thinking a few times during the Rose bowl that MSU's dark forest green got lost on the grass. http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kid, I kid.Personally, I prefer greens shifted towards blue rather than yellow, with Kelly green just about the breaking point (it has that just enough "coolness" to it that it mellows out.) Any green with more yellow than blue (apple green to forest green) becomes too acidic in appearance and becomes unappealing in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
