Working with Chicago team colours
Chicago supports 2 teams across National Football League and National Basketball Association, using 4 colour values between them. Regional broadcasters, local newspapers and city-wide merchandise frequently have to carry more than one of these palettes in a single piece of work, which is why the pairings above are worth checking before a layout is committed.
The darkest value in use here is Black #000000 and the lightest is Orange #C83803, a contrast of 4.02:1 between the two extremes. Any design that has to accommodate the full local range sits inside that span.
All of these palettes can be tested against a garment, and checked for print problems before committing to a run, in the design studio.
