5 Iconic Color Schemes of the NFL
A true NFL fan will display his or her teamâs colors absolutely anywhere: on clothes, at home, across a bumper sticker and even painted on skin. A fan wears team colors with pride and isnât afraid to do so in both winning and losing seasons. But why do some teams have the colors that they do? Some teams have more obvious reasons than others, but they all have one thing in common: Their colors tell a passionate story of regional pride and history. Here are a few of those stories.
Carolina Panthers
Blue Hex Color: #0088CE; RGB: (0, 136, 206)
Black Hex Color: #000000; RGB: (0, 0, 0)
Silver Hex Color: #A5ACAF; RGB: (165, 172, 175)

Normally, the Panthers wear white jerseys with white pants or black-and-blue jerseys paired with silver pants. There have only been a few exceptions to these combinations, one of which was in 2012 during a game against the Denver Broncos, when the team paired its black jerseys with new black pants. This all-black uniform won the "Greatest Uniform in NFL History," a fan-voted contest run by the NFL, in July 2013. While it is not clear whether the team will wear that uniform again, the Carolina Panther blue will always stand as one of the boldest in the NFL.
Denver Broncos
Broncos Orange Hex Color: #FB4F14; RGB: (251, 79, 20)
Broncos Navy Hex Color: #002244; RGB: (0, 34, 68)

These were much softer colors and were quite unprecedented at the time. They drew large crowds, not only because of the interesting contrast, but also their ability to always be seen. The orange contrasts beautifully with the blue sky at games, making the Broncosâ stadium and crowds some of the most photogenic in the NFL. The colors stand out in rain, snow and fog and canât be washed out. The Broncos redesigned its logo and helmets with navy blue replacing royal blue and quickly became one of the most popular teams in the NFL. The Orange Crush continues to wear one of the most recognizable color schemes in the NFL today.
Seattle Seahawks
College Navy Hex Color: #002244; RGB: (0, 21, 50)
Action Green Hex Color: #69BE28; RGB: (105, 190, 40)
Wolf Gray Hex Color: #A5ACAF; RGB: (155, 161, 162)

This color scheme is another standout in the NFL. Many teams today have opposite tones as their official colors, but the Seattle Seahawks have found an image for themselves with two colors that blend well together while contrasting drastically. Seahawk fans are immediately recognized in a crowd and have a color scheme that beautifully represents the geographic region. The Seahawk Blue is a true standout in the NFL.
New England Patriots
Nautical Blue Hex Color: #0D254C
Red Hex Color: #C80815
New Century Silver Hex Color: #D6D6D6
White Hex Color: #FFFFFF

The Flying Elvis, the logo the team uses today, was rolled out in 1993 along with dark-blue and white uniforms. This was the beginning of the teamâs winning streak and sparked its seven Super Bowl visits and four Super Bowl wins. The colors are classic and American and represent the region with pride.
Green Bay Packers
Forest Green Hex Color: #203731; RGB: (32, 55, 49)
Cheese Gold Hex Color: #FFB612; RGB: (255, 182, 18)

The teamâs current color scheme is a yellowy gold and forest green. Its uniform combination of green, white and gold was adopted right after Vince Lombardi arrived in 1959. The team redesigned its logo to include the iconic oval âGâ and put this mark on the side of every helmet. This unique yet simplistic design perfectly represented the loving community-owned team and its fans. Forest green is one of the least-used colors in the NFL but is still packed with Green Bay Packer pride.
