Professional Franchise Team Colors
Need to know how a team describes their team colors?
Here are some listings to help you out:
Note: The colors used in all of the color sets
utilize a high-bit color palette. You must have
your monitor set to high-bit color in order to view the
colors correctly. In order to see if your monitor
is set to an adequate resolution, you can check the
calibration at the following website -
http://www.easyrgb.com/calibrate.php.
Disclaimer: The colors used to represent the
color swatches are only approximations of the actual
colors used by the respective teams. The actual
shades often change from season to season, and these
variances are not represented here. Note - I do
store these differences in my own personal database, but
these reports reflect the colors in more general terms.
Explanation: Colors are listed in order of
dominance in the uniform and/or logo. Secondary
colors may or may not be "officially" listed as
colors, but are included anyway.
Official color descriptions are used whenever
possible; however, some entries listed here may be
estimates. Any help in obtaining these official
descriptions would be greatly appreciated. If you
have any additions, corrections, etc., please contact me
at donovan@ssur.org.
Most of the league histories are complete, but some
(especially soccer at this point) are still being completed.
Special thanks goes to Bob Carroll who provided the
majority of historical football descriptive color sets prior to
1960.
Special thanks also goes to Tom Hefner and D.P.
McIntyre who provided the actual color values used by
the United States Football League.
And, special thanks also goes to Marc Okkonen, whose book
"Baseball Uniforms of the 20th Century" provided the
majority of visual estimates for historical baseball
color sets for the American League and the National
League.
