Thought I knew this but... Isn't there a line of colors that are for NFL teams? I need to design a Green Bay item and cannot put my finger on the right color combo. Any suggestions?
 
Crescent Select Impact colors. Sample set comes with a key for college and pro teams. Green Bay is 9877midnight green, 9894 golden, and 9502 white sale.

Any chance of someone scanning the entire list of college and pro colors and posting it??

I found the impact page but they only show the colors, not the team lists.

I think they had to pull that or else pay licensing fees to the teams.

On the site they say:

"With IMPACT colors you will be able to offer them exact color matches to every major sports team"

They must have that list somewhere. I'm sure wvframer didn't just pull those Green Bay colors out of his hat.
 
Right, they HAD a list. And a copy would be great, but I am just saying that I was told that licensing was the reason the list is no more.

If they didn't explicitly state that there are exact matches I would agree, but since they do, then they are implying that the list still exists.

Others have team colors online.

Look at :

http://www.ssur.org/research/TeamColors/Football_Outdoor/NationalFootballLeague/NationalFootballLeague.htm

http://www.partyshelf.com/nfl_teams.htm

and more.

I would write crescent for the list but we all know their customer service is non-existent.

Here is one of their printable postcards from their site.

Note that there are images for the Chicago White Sox, Duke, Purdue , some major league stadium and (??) the Washington Redskins.

Yea, you can. If you call it Packers Yellow then they can go after you. If you call it warm yellow and it just so happens to match packers yellow your fine.

Also notice that link was not from Bainbridge. You will find no mention of this on their websites. Just because something was put out, doesn't mean that it didn't violate someones TM.
 
well green bay colors are green and gold. and it depends on what you are framing what combo of green and gold you end up using. i'm doing grouping for my brother with bainbridge (charleston green and maize) but have used tartan green for other pieces.

Well maybe Bainbridge pulled their list also but it came from them and was previousely discussed here:
http://www.thegrumble.com/showthread.php?29334-Sports-Highlights-from-Bainbridge

If you do a search for NFL team colors you will find a lot of sites that list colors for the teams. But whatever.... we aren't going to agree on this so I would like to drop any further discussion of color trademarks. I have the list I need and am happy.
 
Crecent does have a color list---Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh

Guess what, I was wrong about Crescent's customer service. They monitor theGrumble and I got an email from them telling me that the color matches do exist.

I requested, and they sent me, an excel spreadsheet containing the colors for:

Colleges
MLB
NFL
NBA
Hockey

Thanks, Crescent.
 
Gee, that's nice! Are you allowed to share with the rest of us?

They didn't say anything about it. What's everyone's opinion? If you all think its OK, I will post the entire list here. I'm in the shop now and don't have the list here, but if no one objects, I will post the whole list later.

Did they not send you a specifier?? They sent it out last year with the crazy golf and basketball mats............. :shrug:
 
I have asked Crescent if it is OK to post the list here. When they say yes, I will post the list for all to use.

Here is the reply from Crescent.

Mr. Peterson,

I’m glad we were able to help sir. As far as posting the Team Colors chart on The Grumble…we’d prefer to give this chart out to individual Framers instead of having it posted in the forum since it is proprietary and we’d like the opportunity to speak with the Framers out there. We would be more than happy to give it to any Framer(s) that contact us @ 1-888-293-3956. If there is anything else we can help you with Mr. Peterson, please do not hesitate to contact us. Have a great day!

Thank you
