It looks like we should update the Rams colors

I am currently investigating this and here is a comparison between the current colors in the nflverse and the "offical" team colors used in the nfl api. The latter provides only primary and secondary colors

Currently nflverse

old_colors

Official in API

new_colors

Differences

  • BAL secondary -> gold
  • CIN switches primary and secondary
  • DET primary lighter
  • IND secondary -> white
  • JAX secondary -> gold
  • LA new colors
  • LAC secondary lighter
  • LV switches primary and secondary
  • NO primary lighter
  • NYJ secondary -> white
  • SEA secondary -> silver
  • TB primary lighter
  • WAS primary darker

I think I'd be in favor of changing all of these to update to the new version except Seahawks secondary

I'm not sure how everyone else uses these, but I like the primary color to be dark enough to put white text on. NO's new gold would be pretty close and I changed the Raiders primary from silver to black in my own color set a while ago for that reason.

JAX made a big PR thing about teal being their "primary color" in February, so I'm surprised they don't have that as one of their official colors. Personally, I think teal is more identifiable with the Jaguars than either black or gold. The teal I use is hexcode #006778 and it is printed on the image below as well.

We are wearing teal at the Bank this season. Are you?

I don't like white as a secondary color since I use white as my panel background usually, so I have been sticking to black as the Jets secondary and light grey as the Colts secondary. Only other significant change I have with the API is that I use Powder / Gold as the Chargers colors.

Obviously do what you want with these, but I saw this and thought I'd share my approach!

+1 for @guga31bb and @ajreinhard suggestions!

To summarize the suggestions: We use the API colors with the following modifications

  • JAX primary to teal, secondary to black
  • IND secondary remains gray from the old version
  • NYJ secondary changed to black
  • SEA secondary remains action green

New nflverse

Everyone good with this?

I think LAC could use yellow, because you know, Chargers.
Lighter blue #0081c9 with gold #ffaf00, maybe? (From logo)

I thought about this as @ajreinhard mentioned it but it would be very close to the Rams imo

Yeah, but this way it's close to Titans too... That's why I said for some lighter blue...
But I don't know, I understand you too!

Yeah I agree. It's kinda impossible to make it perfect
