Re: Team Colors

I feel like yellow, red, or green are the most common colors that teams use.

Our team uses Yellow and Black (Following the colors of the two high schools, Gold and Brown and Blue and Gold). We wear Yellow T-Shirts for the first day of competition, Black T-Shirts and black pants for the second, then our Black Bowling shirts and black pants for the final day of competition. We make special shirts for the Alamo regional and the FIRST World Championship if we go to either of those.

Re: Team Colors

Dark Maroon is one of the least used colors, and I think that needs to change. Love that color with white outlines.

Blue is the most used, then Red, then Green. Yellow I would say is actually very common, as a secondary color to black, green and/or purple. Purple is about as common as green, and Pink is gaining a lot of momentum. Orange isn't common as a full team color, only when paired with another color like Blue. I bet there are very few teams who give themselves White as their main team color. Silver is another color gaining momenum, and brown isn't used often as it's a strange color to use.

Also, is there a team with the colors CMYK? I don't think so, but that would make an interesting team design and identity.

Test Team 303 sort of does, to me at least. They actually adopted a test pattern from TV (vertical stripes with the bottom horizonals), so it has a bunch of colors, but on remembrance I think it gives the sort of CMYK "mood". Or maybe I'm just weird.


For rookie teams trying to brand themselves with standout or less-used colors in their region, one thing I can recommend is looking through wide lens photos of your regionals and/or champs. For instance, John Vrany posted a bunch of Worlds photos this year: for instance, example. Mostly from the catwalk, so you can't really identify teams, but browsing can give you an idea of uncommon and standout colors.

Just so you know, K is not a color, it a variable used to describe the percentage of black in any C,M,Y combination. CMY could work (but isn't particularly aesthetically attractive).

Sometime (2005?) they switched to black on all three days to get a better identity (though Saturdays they wear a polo instead of a t-shirt).

Team 1712 used to wear both black and maroon shirts (same design), until this past year where we switched to maroon all three days.

Re: Team Colors

None of them are colors, they're all pigments because C+M+Y is black, not white.

1519, 744, I'm sure I'm missing a few (1726 has bordered on light blue, but that's partly because it's usually surrounded by white). However, most teams that go for a blue tend to go to a darker blue, like royal blue. (OTOH, very few go for a navy blue.)

That's awesome. On a day I was bored, I designed an imaginary team profile going with the colors Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black - however using them together every time. I called it Team Neon. It looked a little like Bit.Trip Beat, which is an awesome aesthetic to begin with anyway.

But using the entire TV test pattern? That's brilliant! (And so are the colors.)
