pianoknight Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 This idea came to me from another thread where Color-on-Color match ups were being discussed, specifically in college football. Most everyone agrees that the USC-UCLA game looks FANTASTIC as a color versus color game, but what about YOUR team?Which opponents would look best against your team in an all-color game? It doesn't have to be restricted to college football, but give your Top 3-5 picks, preferably against teams that are natural rivals or in the same conference / division / league. Obviously, similar-colored teams are not a great idea, so Alabama-Arkansas or USC-Arizona State aren't good choices.---------------------------------------------------------Nebraska Cornhuskers (specifically football)1. Michigan - the pairing of Scarlet & Cream versus Maize & Blue. The helmets (white / two-tone), the jerseys (red / blue) and the pants (white / maize) all contrast, giving this game great visual appeal.2. Penn State - similar to Michigan, but not as flashy. Red versus Blue - everyone wears white.3. Iowa - could make for an interesting Thanksgiving Weekend game, with Iowa's Black & Gold contrasting nicely against NU. 5th in NAT. TITLES | 2nd in CONF.

IceCap Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 For the Toronto Maple Leafs...Montreal Canadiens- The Leafs' blue and white would pair nicely with the red, white, and blue Habs sweaters.Detroit Red Wings- See this past Winter Classic. Blue and white vs red and white. Like that Penn State/Nebraska example.Chicago Blackhawks- Another red sweater. Hey, red vs blue just works! In this case the blue and white of the Leafs against the 'Hawks red, white, and black.Philadelphia Flyers- I think the blue of the Leafs would contrast nicely with the slightly faded orange the Flyers use.I'm tempted to say the Ottawa Senators, but their red sweaters are terrible.

MDGP Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 For Penn State:1) Nebraska/Wisconsin- Both teams have very similar color schemes and uniforms that contrast beautifully with PSUs.2) Ohio State- Blue vs. Red/Silver3) Temple/Alabama- Two out of conference/historical rivals (Bama is more of a friendly rivalry here due to JoePa/Bear). Similar reasoning as #1Boston Bruins:1) Montreal Canadiens: Black and Gold vs. Red and Blue would look beautiful together2) New York Rangers: Same as above, but blue as primary is slightly less appealing3) Philadelphia Flyers: Lots of black in this one, but the orange jerseys provide more than enough contrast.

TheGiantsFan Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 The Giants' "Orange Friday" jerseys would look great against the Orioles' orange or black jerseys. Maybe even the Astros' orange alt. In the NL West, I think that the Rockies' purple and the Padres' navy blue would contrast best with the Orange Friday jerseys.

njpoz Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 For the University of Washington:Oregon - I'm not sure which of Oregon's colors they would wear, but just about any of them would work against UW's purple.UCLA - if they wore their traditional light blueWSU - is there enough difference between WSU's crimson and UW's purple?Seattle Mariners - given they can go with a teal or navy jersey, they could match up against just about anyone in a color on color. I think a navy/red game against the Angels would look good, as would a teal/dark green game against the A's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alxy8s Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Georgia-Florida should be red vs. blue. Neutral field, great contrast, traditional uniforms. Why not?Red vs. gold would look good with UGA-Tech, and red vs. blue again against Auburn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
