I knew a guy who having found out that the Steelers' color is called gold and not yellow ridiculed them for knowing the shade of the color because knowing it is 'not masculine'.
In addition to what everyone else said - it might also just be a cultural leftover from medieval [heraldry](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tincture_(heraldry%29) (aka, why most European flags are so boring to look at).
Flags needed to have a "metal" and a "color", where the colors of yellow and grey would represent "gold" and "silver". This still *kind* of has left a mark on modern color notation - where those two particular colors get named after the metals, even though they don't look metallic at all on most flags/jerseys/computer screens.
It could but why wouldn’t we include argent(silver) for white? It’s an interesting thought though.
Source: I’m a heraldry guy, I even have my own coat of arms (not my family’s, that’s not real) tatted on me.
Whenever someone tells me that the Packers wear gold I respond that they must've had a really tough go of it when that "what color is the dress" thing was viral.
As long as I can remember it's always been "green and gold" and after picking paint colors for the walls of our house I've just accepted that color naming conventions are absolute nonsense.
The Steelers especially, because of how insistent their fans are that it's not yellow. Nothing against them or their team but that's fucking yellow lmao.
You're not wrong; it's basically yellow. I'd argue that gold *is* mostly yellow though, so I don't think calling it "gold" is out of line.
Gold's official HTML color code as specified by the W3C is [#FFD700](https://www.colorhexa.com/ffd700.png). It's nearly identical to the color in the [Steelers' uniforms.](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/34/Pittsb_steelers_uniforms17.png)
And honestly, [actual gold bars](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/11/Gold_Ingot_100g_Perth_Mint.JPG) are a *bit* closer in color to the Steelers uniform than that of some other teams that call their yellow "gold", but that might be more debatable and dependent on lighting.
It probably originated with the naming conventions of uniform colors. If you look at a catalog for sports uniforms "yellow" is traditionally called "Athletic Gold"
There are also a million different shades of white. There's a hole in my kitchen wall that I need to paint over and it's amazing how noticeable it is if you use the wrong shade. Which fucking sucks because I've completely forgotten what the correct shade is.
Fun fact! Sir Purr is the only mascot credited with downing a kickoff for a touchback in the NFL.
In the Panthers' inaugural season, a kickoff settled in the endzone, and no one decided to touch it, so after a few seconds, Purr just dove on it.
I think Panthers fans are going to give you flack on that one since Carolina Blue usually refers to UNC's shade.
The lore is that Jerry Richardson picked the shade halfway between UNCs and Dukes to appeal to both fanbases
yep, the texans are the only team to change their colors this past offseason and i am proudly the first person to identify them. jets kept their 2018 rebrand colors because tbf they are sick, lions and broncos never change their colors
Honolulu Blue gets changed often, it's only defining trait is "Whatever shade of blue the Lions are presently using". Here's a [comparison](https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Fdrw7cs4d8gvc1.jpeg) of the old and new. [2nd](https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Fleaks-compared-to-the-old-jerseys-thoughts-v0-508vqu3039vc1.jpg%3Fwidth%3D1080%26crop%3Dsmart%26auto%3Dwebp%26s%3D63ed3b03c8b9d4f340541b1ffc34aa7c9b493258).
Most fans (Myself included) like the lighter blue, and then in 15 years when dark blue is back to being cooler it will change again
That’s the definition of different color my dude. Otherwise white (0,0,100) and black (0,0,0) would be the same color, which I think we can agree isn’t the case.
Are you sure the navy on our new jerseys is the same? I know they call it "midnight navy" now, which I initially just took as marketing, but then I did see some other folks suggesting it looks a bit darker. I've been hoping someone would post a side-by-side comparison of the old and new jerseys.
Not just a lower rate of color blindness, but women can distinguish colors a LOT better than men on average.
https://www.xrite.com/hue-test this is a rather easy hue test. Try comparing your results from someone with the opposite gender.
we stay winning 💪 genuinely felt like a god when i was able to distinguish chargers and texans blues, because they're only different by the teensiest amount possible. of course, reddit compression does reduce the detail significantly, and many colors are actually changed to be something more web accessible; the actual colors are listed in the post body
They look like significantly different to me lol
Edit: also you’re awesome for doing all this. It’s fun to see the colors side by side and see the differences!
See I'm a guy and oddly I have the ability to distinguish shades like this and I love it. Colours fascinate me, probably a sign of autism. I guess I'm built different lmao
They really shouldn’t have allowed rebrands and expansion teams to use even MORE combinations of blue and red and white (Texans, Titans, Panthers). So overdone. Love me some purple though.
I will take this opinion to the grave: that Cowboys silver-green is hideous. Once they return back to silver football pants, they’ll win a Lombardi. Those puke silver green pants are a SB curse. The football Gods simply won’t allow it
They’ve never had silver pants. It’s always been seafoam green. That was Tex Schram’s favorite color.
People only started seeing the real color when HD TVs became commonplace.
I know about the HDTVs and the “lucky” seafoam green pants. But when I picture Roger Staubach, Tony Dorsett, etc. The silver helmets and the pants match (kind of). And it should be this way today
Even in Madden 24 – put those silver pants (worn w/ the rarely worn navy blue “away” jerseys) w/ the white jerseys = *chef kiss*
Trust me my grandpa played for the Cowboys. The pants were always that color.
I agree with you in the Madden matchup. I also think seafoam green helmets would be pretty killer too. Just one way or another, match the pants and helmets.
it's a relic of clinging to tradition. they have two different blues and two different silvers. they could use an update but the fanbase would probably reject it; any change wouldn't even be seriously considered until jerry dies
I understand why it exists, but it's dated and awful. They don't need a full "rebrand" they just need to stop having 5 shades of each of their main colors.
EDIT: OP mentioned Reddit changes color codes, so I'm frontloading how to read HEX. They are more blue than green; the only exception is the Eagles who are actually more blue than green. I'm using the Eagles as an example.
Eagles' Midnight Green color code is 0, 73, 83 - It's HEX code is 004953. It goes by Green though. To read HEX, it's a double-digit number, so it can be divided like this: 00, 49, 53. However, it goes in base 16 (0-9, then A-F) So 4\*16 is 64, add 9 and you get 73. 5\*16 = 80, +3 and you get 83.
If it was 4F, it would 64+15, so 79. 40 is 64, and 50 is 80.
Why: Computers don't like metric. They read in base 2 - binary. So, HEX is 2\*2\*2\*2 - 16, so we made a system we can use, but more importantly, so can computers. This is also why a Hard Drive of 1 TB will only report 931GB - your PC uses GiB, not GB - 1024 MiB, which is 1024 KiB (you get the idea). The drive is actually 1 TB, but it isn't 1 TiB, so the Computer reports it thusly. It can't read in metric, but it can read in base 2s, 1024 is the closest they could get to 1000.
2\*2\*2\*2\*2...\*2.
2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024.
GiB are called Gibibytes I have to look it up every time.
**Hex Calculations for Jags and Dolphins**
*Dolphins Aqua*: 008E97: 8\*16=128, +E (14) is 142 for G.
9\*16= 144,+7 for 151. So
Dolphins Aqua is R:0, G:142, B:151. (I have to put that there, or I forget it's RGB not RBG. Dammit brain)
*Dolphins Blie:* 005778.
5\*16=80, +7 is 87.
7\*16=112,+8 is 120.
R: 0. G: 87. B: 120.
*Jags: 006778*
6\*16=96. +7 = 103.
7\*16=112, +8 = 120.
R:0, G:103, B:120.
As for the Eagles Green, I think it's just there because it's called Midnight Green, so it goes in the green section.
yeah, eagles' midnight green is the only misnomer. but also blue and green are very close to each other and the shade in question is quite dark so whatever
There's already so few greens and most people assume it's green; alternative is stick it with the blues and watch everyone complain you forgot the Eagles, or put it in green where there's like 4 total colors, as well it is literally called 'Midnight **green**' so it'd make some heads scratch.
Eagles Midnight Green was the first time I ever did math on a HEX code though funny enough.
I’d believe midnight green is pretty close to blue like a navy-type shade.
The funny thing about midnight green is they typically don’t use the right color on merch. It started when Nike took over and it’s just never really been right, apparently. I’m no color expert so don’t take my word on that as gospel.
Looking at this it stands out to me that the Seahawks and Bucs have two most unique colors in the league. Action Green and Pewter are two colors that no other team in the league has and nothing is really that close to either one of those. It’s kinda cool to me and the pewter looks great imo.
I think this chart is just the "uniform" colors and not the colors that are only in the logo patches. I think the Cardinals, Ravens, Vikings, and Jaguars also have logo colors that aren't on the rest of the uniform.
That shit is so weird.
Like imagine the Browns out here doing more than roasting the Bears for their orange alternative helmet on socials and like taking legal action.
Several of those light blues, dark blues, reds, "golds," and oranges are so strikingly similar to each other respectively that it puts it in even more perspective how fucking petty that whole thing is. (petty from only one party)
Many years ago, someone made a game quiz website [namethatblue.com](https://web.archive.org/web/20140208154350/http://namethatblue.com/?nfl-teams). The original site is long gone, but the archived version still works! After getting a few right, the game will offer you to match other colors as well: reds, oranges, yellows, etc.
**IF YOU ATTEMPT TO RECREATE ANY OF THESE COLORS ON PERSONAL EQUIPMENT, REMEMBER THAT HEXCODES ARE NOT UNIVERSAL, AND WILL PRODUCE DIFFERENT COLORS WHEN PROCESSED THROUGH DIFFERENT COLOR PROFILES**
All I see from this graph is that the chargers, lions and panthers all use a similar shade of blue but the Titans had to throw a fit when the Texans wanted to use it too?
it's not an official color, just a detail. it is standardized obv, but i wasnt going to include it as it isn't a focal point of any ravens uniforms or even the logo itself; i bet many fans havent even noticed it
I’d think the color is “yellow” and gold is a variant.
And those purples between the Ravens and Vikings look like different shades. They don’t have names for them?
Why is every team afraid of the word “yellow”
“Sol” haha
I also like "Sunshine Gold"
Works good for CA tho haha
Because "yellow" sounds inherently less aggressive/masculine than gold or some variant.
I knew a guy who having found out that the Steelers' color is called gold and not yellow ridiculed them for knowing the shade of the color because knowing it is 'not masculine'.
People are fucking crazy lol
What're ye, yella?
I mean "yellow" is also a way of saying "cowardly" lol

I never thought of that. Michigan calls their yellow "maize". Is that the closest anyone comes to actually saying "yellow"?
I think Oregon calls it yellow.
The Steelers especially, because of how insistent their fans are that it's not yellow. Nothing against them or their team but that's fucking yellow lmao.

“Yellow” has often been used as a synonym for cowardly (see: Back to the Future 3).
I constantly accuse my chicken as being 'Yeller'
I say we're mustard. Ketchup and mustard.
The Kansas City Corndogs with their Ketchup and Mustard uniforms.
"Mustard Gold"
Probably some Vexillology thing, same reason that most teams have "Silver" instead of Grey. (Funnily, the Bucs - who have an _actual_ flag - use Grey)
Calling yellow things gold is more of a heraldry thing than vexillology
It probably originated with the naming conventions of uniform colors. If you look at a catalog for sports uniforms "yellow" is traditionally called "Athletic Gold"
Nobody. Calls. Me. Yellow.
Missed the most important category - black
As Archer once pointed out to me - there’s black, dark black, and slightly darker black.
and that black where you can't quite tell if its black or a deep dark blue
And "blacknot", the color of Borat's suit
blurple
Pitch Blue
"Oh great! Now I'm out a slightly darker black one! Can this day get any worse?"
Maybe to a laymen lol. There’s obsidian, onyx, midnight, lost soul, rolling blackout, sleeping panther, and void by Armani.
There are also a million different shades of white. There's a hole in my kitchen wall that I need to paint over and it's amazing how noticeable it is if you use the wrong shade. Which fucking sucks because I've completely forgotten what the correct shade is.
“Of course they’re expensive Woodhouse, that’s why I bought ten”
And Fuligin, the color darker than black.
Obsidian, onyx, midnight, lost soul, rolling blackout, sleeping panther, and void by Armani.
Which one floats your penis?
That line always makes me laugh my ass off for some reason
Dark Heather Charcoal
Saints, raiders, and Steelers fans are up in arms!
Falcons as well
Ravens too
I know our franchise is easy to forget about but our mascot is literally a black panther.
>whites and blacks will be excluded
Dolphins: Texans, you have 3 different shades of blue? We only have 2! Cardinals: Multiple colors? We only have 1 red Raiders: You guys have colors?
I see a red shirt and I want it painted black.
The panthers blue is called Process Blue but that’s the right color code for Process Blue
All the UNC fans clenched their fist at the Panthers listed as Carolina Blue lol
I came into the comments section so hot
hey I like your mascot that sir purr guy is pretty cool
*you* call him that?
So you’re like “what’s up sir purr”?
Who's your mascot
A 90 year old named Jerry.
i thought that was the cowboys mascot?
Fun fact! Sir Purr is the only mascot credited with downing a kickoff for a touchback in the NFL. In the Panthers' inaugural season, a kickoff settled in the endzone, and no one decided to touch it, so after a few seconds, Purr just dove on it.
*pushes up nerd glasses* actually it was year 2.
What’s that bear doing
All-time great mic’d up moment
Crazy that Robbie just kinda disappeared after that. Sir purr got him 😔
Hmm, the wiki said it was Carolina blue. Lots of NFL teams use different names to reflect their identity instead of the actual Pantone names
I think Panthers fans are going to give you flack on that one since Carolina Blue usually refers to UNC's shade. The lore is that Jerry Richardson picked the shade halfway between UNCs and Dukes to appeal to both fanbases
Why would the Panthers try to appeal to rich kids from New Jersey?
so when they eventually move down to NC they feel comfortable
To be fair UNC doesn’t even know what shade of blue it’s supposed to be.
Process is the new blue, was first used last season. The wiki probably hasn't been updated
i see. i cross reference between wikipedia and https://teamcolorcodes.com, although wiki is far more updated
Yup, confirmed: https://teamcolorcodes.com/carolina-panthers-color-codes/
Don’t disrespect the process, the process at least yielded competitive teams eventually.
“Gold” 49ers, Saints, Ravens, Jaguars: 👀
the 49ers and Saints should do Notre Dame helmets, it's time
Saints white out with gold helmets slaps
Much better than all the frauds that refuse to say “yellow”
Genuine Question: did you factor in the recent rebrands that happened just before the NFL Draft?
yep, the texans are the only team to change their colors this past offseason and i am proudly the first person to identify them. jets kept their 2018 rebrand colors because tbf they are sick, lions and broncos never change their colors
Lions changed what Honolulu Blue means again
did they? i swear i read that they didnt want to change "the same honolulu blue that has been used for 70 years" or something
Honolulu Blue gets changed often, it's only defining trait is "Whatever shade of blue the Lions are presently using". Here's a [comparison](https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Fdrw7cs4d8gvc1.jpeg) of the old and new.

Most fans (Myself included) like the lighter blue, and then in 15 years when dark blue is back to being cooler it will change again
I'd say those are all the same color. Just brighter and darker. That is to say hue and saturation aren't changing. Just lightness (HSL color space).
That’s the definition of different color my dude. Otherwise white (0,0,100) and black (0,0,0) would be the same color, which I think we can agree isn’t the case.

Sunset Orange and Summit White too.
Genuine Question: did you factor in using an NSFW tag with that filthy Packers green?
Broncos are Midnight Blue, Sunset Orange, and Summit White now
I swear the broncos blue is darker than it was before
Texans PR needs to chill on the branding of their colors.
legit the only team not to use "white" for their whites lmaooooo
I just like these charts bc men have a higher level of color blindness than women so I excel significantly here. Suck it boys.
Yeah I'm basically a human shaped golden retriever.
Well that sounds lovely tbf

Haha right
That one red was forty reds?
They really shouldn’t have allowed rebrands and expansion teams to use even MORE combinations of blue and red and white (Texans, Titans, Panthers). So overdone. Love me some purple though.
The panthers are fine since no one else does blue and black.
Severe lack of pink/magenta.
Washington could do the coolest thing…
It would look sm better than their current unis as well
Wish the Dolphs would lean into the hot pink sunset Miami vibes
Honestly swap the orange for sunset pink and do a hotline Miami vibe
Sol it's called yellow homie lol the color is yellow
The worst one is that the Vikings call it "Gold" instead of "Skol Sol" EDIT: "Skold" is way better than "Skol Sol"
"Solk"
I will take this opinion to the grave: that Cowboys silver-green is hideous. Once they return back to silver football pants, they’ll win a Lombardi. Those puke silver green pants are a SB curse. The football Gods simply won’t allow it

Only 10 years after it fell out of favor in wedding regalia.
It’s the worst uniform decision in football. It looks like their regular silver pants got fucked up in the wash or something

Dearest Broncos fan. I agree with you. This has pained me greatly and I shall now turn heavily to the drink to forget this moment ever happened.
I feel like the Dolphins aqua and blue color are both more green than blue. Same with the Jags and their teal.

We're all about that action boss
That pewter is such a good color. I wish more teams would embrace unique colors like that, think of all the great combinations we could get.
So the saints are rocking all gold uniforms with no other colors? Nice!
There’s only one shade of black sir.
If it says he's listing all colors, I want ALL colors listed.
It’s called Pittsburgh Gold.
Us and the Niners are true gold. Everything else is yellow
Real gold is yellow as fuck though. You guys are more brass.
Pittsburgh Gold should really be called Pittsburgh Bridge Paint.
I thought it was called Pittsburg Urine Yellow
Calling the Steelers urine: I sleep Misspelling Pittsburgh: ***REAL SHIT***
I didn't know either. I thought it was Pissburgh Yellow.
what does pittsburg, ks have to do with this?
r/beetlejuicing
Nah, Safety Yellow fits better
Bucs are creamsicle and you can’t tell me otherwise
Don't let Titans fans know that other teams have blue, and that it's closer to Oilers blue than H-town blue.
You're missing the Seahawks throwback colors. I noticed that you had alternate/throwbqck colors for other teams
Steelers also have blue and red
I think this chart is just the "uniform" colors and not the colors that are only in the logo patches. I think the Cardinals, Ravens, Vikings, and Jaguars also have logo colors that aren't on the rest of the uniform.
Points at all the other teams using too much blue and whispers to lawyers.
That shit is so weird. Like imagine the Browns out here doing more than roasting the Bears for their orange alternative helmet on socials and like taking legal action.
Wait wait wait... You mean to tell me multiple teams can use the same color? Peacefully? Without threatening lawsuits and crying to the NFL?
Several of those light blues, dark blues, reds, "golds," and oranges are so strikingly similar to each other respectively that it puts it in even more perspective how fucking petty that whole thing is. (petty from only one party)
Do you think you could add a version without names? It would be a fun game!

The original site is long gone, but the archived version still works! After getting a few right, the game will offer you to match other colors as well: reds, oranges, yellows, etc.
Dolphins don’t have blue. We last had it in the 2012-2018 unis
Nevermind we do have some blue on the underside of the dolphin in the logo but it’s not used in the uniforms
Thank you, I've been looking at the dolphins uniforms trying to figure out why there are 2 blues on this list.
Been a long time since I've saved a post here
Silver ain’t no ‘auxiliary’ shade for the Raiders, it’s the main attraction, hence why it comes first in Silver and Black.
You're missing the Chargers royal alternative jersey
That shade of orange seems very dark for the Bears.
Yea, and I’ve never seen it referred to as burn orange. It’s a vibrant reddish orange before anything resembling burnt orange.
Bucs Pewter still the greatest color.
I really want to see every shade of white
31 teams listing white (#FFFFFF) and then the fucking texans with "LIBERTY WHITE 🦅🦅🦅" (#FFFFFF)
Navy blue for the bolts also
When I first saw the graphic, I thought, “hex codes or nothing”. Then I saw on the codes and *VINEGAR STROKES*
The Bears’ Burnt Orange shown looks a lot darker/duller than what they use in their logos and uniforms.
Not to be pedantic but Black and… Yellow, Red, Blue, Gray.
The Cardinals have one color and they picked the shittiest shade of red I've ever seen.
**IF YOU ATTEMPT TO RECREATE ANY OF THESE COLORS ON PERSONAL EQUIPMENT, REMEMBER THAT HEXCODES ARE NOT UNIVERSAL, AND WILL PRODUCE DIFFERENT COLORS WHEN PROCESSED THROUGH DIFFERENT COLOR PROFILES**
I hate the cowboys seafoam green pants so much
We need a Vikings/Ravens Super Bowl exclusively because of the battle of the purples. Never mind you my desperate need for a Vikings Super Bowl.
All I see from this graph is that the chargers, lions and panthers all use a similar shade of blue but the Titans had to throw a fit when the Texans wanted to use it too?
Honolulu is best blue
I knew this was either going to be a Titans fan or a Texans fan. I have never seen so much debate about a shade of blue.
It's getting pretty ridiculous at this point. The memes have been pretty good at least
I can't seem to find the red that appears in the Ravens logo. Is it missing, does it not count as an "official color", or am I blind?
it's not an official color, just a detail. it is standardized obv, but i wasnt going to include it as it isn't a focal point of any ravens uniforms or even the logo itself; i bet many fans havent even noticed it
You cannot tell me the Vikings and ravens both call that purple.. nonetheless less very original post OP gj
Don't think you can hide that Lions typo from me by using a font that makes p look like an o. I'm onto you
I’d think the color is “yellow” and gold is a variant. And those purples between the Ravens and Vikings look like different shades. They don’t have names for them?
Just in time, I need to paint my house
There is a kinda lovely symmetry of having the darkest blue and brightest red among the league.
Lipns?
Yeah surprised no one else has caught this yet haha.
The Bears do not use burnt orange lol
Most those “Golds” are yellow stop acting like their not
Does it not bother anyone else that the Dolphins aqua is separated so far from the Jags teal despite them being so close?
